Sopranos on Madison Avenue

M.A. Peel and I are stepping back into the pilot and co-pilot seats after a week off to attend to myriad social duties (our dance cards are pretty full, you know) and our weekly Mad Men live-blogging will continue at 10 EDT at newcritics.com. Indeed, the fab Ms. P already has her spiked heel on the nub of the thing with an update on last week's show: "...it was Betty’s day. From her horseback riding to being the show horse on Don’s arm, inquiring if the dinner at Lutece is one that she’s supposed to talk at or not." So true - and did I detect a little Carmela Soprano in the rewrites? Yes, yes - it begins to make sense. Get your own ideas and comments ready for tonight night at 10. And to make it even peachier, we've updated the comments system to the latest (much cooler) version of Disqus (with a big tip of the hat to Fred for recommending it). No more required registration, though it is suggested, and the full all-time newcritics comment trove is now backed up by that fine system. As delicious as a cocktail at Lutece. So - tonight at 10 pm EDT, with your TV dials set to TMC and your browsers set to newcritics.
