Latest episode clacks for this show:
That’s what I call getting the most out of your water tank! I knew that “Next Tuesday” would be another one of those Will-and-Helen-get-stranded-together episodes. I worried that it might be too much like “Kush” or “Requiem,” but this episode actually features some great character development and ends on a cliffhanger instead of wrapping things […]
The biggest premiere last week came from cable, as AMC finally released their modern take on The Prisoner. I had been planning for months to make a comparison between that and media-darling Mad Men.
