Heather Havrilesky on S4e2 of AMC’s “Mad Men”:
So how do you hold on to some spirit of innocence and naive happiness in your life? “Mad Men” demonstrates that unless you’re very rich, or very drunk, or in denial — or all of the above — it’s not that easy.
If you thought the sound of Don [...]
Really, nothing could be better than an end to “Law & Order”. It’s a terrible, pro-cop, pro-prosecution, pile of propaganda and always has been. Of course, even if the series ends, it will still be on forever in syndication. Curses!
John Krasinski, who is really probably the biggest star of “The Office” — I mean, wouldn’t you really rather watch him and Pam than Michael? — has made a movie adaptation of David Foster Wallace’s book, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. Of course it will be painful to watch, and therefore, you must go see [...]
The best two things about the second episode of “Raising the Bar”: The Elliot Smith soundtrack at the end.The fact that Jerry appears to be using a Mac (an iMac?) at the end of the show.Oh, and of course it’s great that Jerry appears to be broken up w/the prosecutor.

Very sad because it was very winnable. Don’t know what went wrong. Also sad because so many other new PDs seem to win win win, so what’s going on here?I did not see the “Sopranos” last night.
Just in case Stephen Colbert hasn’t heard, can someone please tell him that the bears on are on the march? Note to self: Shooting a grizzly with a camera will not slow it down.
Let’s go see the bears!Soon after emerging from their dens, bears begin looking for food. They’re attracted to elk and bison carcasses, and will defend them aggressively if anyone comes too close.Park regulations require you to stay a hundred yards — the length of a football field — away from black and grizzly bears. Park rangers suggest using your binoculars, telescope, or telephoto lens to get a closer look.Yellowstone officials advise hikers, snowshoers, and cross-country skiers to travel in groups of three or more, make noise on the trail, and keep an eye out for bears.
