Someone Should Have Done This For Arrested Development : Larry Charles and McG are teaming up for a semi-scripted NBC comedy about a group of sci-fi fanboys whose favorite TV show gets canceled. So they take matters into their own hands and shoot their own version.

Wow, where did those thirteen weeks go? On Sunday night, we bid a fond adieu to the third season of Mad Men , which concluded in spectacular fashion with our new favorite show TV-show-closing theme song, "Shahdahroba."

In light of Sunday's Mad Men finale, on which Don Draper made the very Michael Scott–like move of ditching Sterling Cooper to start his own ad agency, SlashFilm's Hunter Stephenson makes a compelling case. Also noted: Don and Michael's similar loneliness, slick hair, and "awkward stance on gays." [ /Film ] Read more posts by Lane Brown Filed Under: twins , mad men , the office , tv...

Excerpts from my Taki’s Magazine column: Can I milk another column out of Mad Men? Why not?

By Luke de Smet Mad Men is nothing if not thematically well organized, and typically, writing about an episode consists of picking out the throughline and explicating how it brings together all the disparate plot elements. Typically, though, that throughline exists in the subtext, which makes “The Grown-Ups”, written by Brett Johnson and Matthew Weiner and directed by Barbet Schroeder,...

After they're reunited in the The Hangover sequel (May 2011), Zach Galifianakis and Bradley Cooper will star in You Are Here , the first film from Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner . Variety says we'll have to wait a while before this one goes anywhere, though, thanks to scheduling issues with Weiner's hit AMC show, the recipient of a quadzillion Emmy awards. The film's other star was, I believe, romantically...

Matthew Weiner (creator of AMC's "Mad Men") has made no secret of his desire to jump from television to feature films. Back when he was still working on "The Sopranos" for HBO, he wrote a script for a romantic comedy entitled You Are Here. Weiner quickly found independent financing and a more than decent start to a cast with Jennifer Aniston, Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis...

Mad Men concluded its third season with the birth of a new advertising agency while a lot of characters were left in the wind.
