I thought following on the heels of last week’s episode of MAD MEN, that there would be a HUGE finale that would leave fans reeling, but honestly it felt more like a normal episode with not a lot of huge revelations taking place. “The Phantom” just seems like it […]Read On »

Stars: Robert Taylor, Katee Sackhoff, Lou Diamond Phillips, Cassidy Freeman, Bailey Chase, Adam Bartley, Louanne Stephens  Writer: Hunt Baldwin & John Coveny, Based on the novels by Craig Johnson Director: Michael Uppendahl Network: A&E, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: June 10, 2012 LONGMIRE had such a strong pilot last week that it became the #1 rated series on cable! How do you follow that up? With “The Dark Road” the numbers from the pilot doubled so I would happily assume that the series is going to be around for a good long while. I loved the first episode of LONGMIRE. […]Read On »

MAD MEN has its fifth-season finale tonight on AMC.

Over the seasons, Joan has risen from being a secretary to, this season, a partner in the firm. Hendricks, born in Tennessee and raised in Idaho, acquired a cult following for her role as the many-named con woman Saffron on FIREFLY and was […]Read On »

The Top Ten WOW Moments of MAD MEN Season Five

The fifth season of MAD MEN has been interesting. There have been lots of changes and losses and even some gains. The series still manages to keep me completely entertained and ready for the next episode as soon as the current one is ending. Since there have been so many random WOW moments this season (and the finale hits Sunday night), ASSIGNMENT X decided it was time to look back at the best (and in some cases most disturbing moments) of Season 5. 10. Megan gets a musical introduction Making sure to show that Megan (Jessica Pare) is not just […]Read On »

Star: Cat Deeley Network: Fox, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: June 7, 2012 First THE VOICE introduced the concept of spinning chairs into a musical competition format. Now THE CHOICE does the same thing – but for the dating world. The end result – an annoying series about talentless hotties who vie for the opportunity to go on a date with guys, who probably are better off not dating non-celebrities. The first group of guys include Romeo, Jeremy Bloom, DJ Pauly D and Jason Cook and the concept is simple — with their backs turned in their slightly less state-of-the-art […]Read On »

Alas, Lane Pryce. The intriguing if not always sympathetic character on AMC’s MAD MEN, a tamped-down financial whiz who turned his back on his bosses back in England to join with the upstart leadership of the breakaway new ad agency made more than a few mistakes that came back to haunt him. After three seasons on MAD MEN, Pryce made a statement to his erstwhile colleagues in Sunday’s episode “Commissions and Fees” – by hanging himself in his office. Actor Jared Harris, who has played Pryce Seasons Three through Five of MAD MEN, knows how to keep a secret. He […]Read On »

Just when you think things couldn’t go darker in the offices of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, we have “Commissions and Fees”. There is only one episode left of the season and I really have absolutely NO idea […]Read On »

This rebirth feels like it started with DEADWOOD, which was one of the roughest shows on TV, not only in language but also in tone and levels of violence. Now we’ve had JUSTIFIED and HELL ON WHEELS, both of which are dark and […]Read On »
