I just finished a Mad Men marathon of all 5 seasons this summer. One per night.

It's been a beautiful experience.

And I'm sad that Elizabeth Moss couldn't be present for this interview.

Sesame Street: Cookie Monster - Share It Maybe

SDGundamX says...

I read this in a book somewhere: the Sesame Street staff are constantly doing focus studies with real kids, measuring things like how long they watch before getting distracted, what they focus on when watching, what they remember after watching, etc. and one of the things that came out of their studies was that kids pay more attention and learn more if an adult is watching the show with them. But in order for an adult to sit through an entire show with a child, the adult also has to be entertained as well. Hence the pop-culture references (including stuff kids most likely have never seen).

Pixar does a great job with their movies along these lines as well by providing jokes only adults are likely to get mixed in with the more slap-stick stuff for the kids.

I recall pop-culture references during the 70s, so parody is one of their mainstays. I find it odder when they parody of stuff the kids most likely never saw or know:
True Blood (True Mud):

I'm excited for Mad Men coming back, but also just scared that Don will continue to be a dick and become even less likeable...

I don't think Marc Maron's show will be any good... but that's probably because I've become quite sick of Marc and his self reflecting ways.

Dirk Gently might be good to watch with the kids, I read one of the books when I was a kid and liked it.

I keep meaning to watch Downton Abbey with my wife, it's been praised by all and sundry.

The one I'm really excited for though, is Game of Thrones Season 2... ooooh yeah. I'm buying the first season on Blu Ray shortly as it's a rarity in the TV zone of shows I'll actually watch more than once.

Oh... and Warehouse 13... and Eureka (last season of that)... great shows.
