You need to seriously reevaluate Mad Men, friend.

You know HBO has a streaming service. I mean, all there shows are on demand. Any time. At no additional cost. Save yourself the DVR space.

Hell yes
, about the only thing the show has going for it now. Carnavale is usually great, just haven't really been impressed with what the show has to offer so far but I'll probably continue to check it out. Agree on 'potential'

I have Sunday's episode sitting on my DVR but I feel like I broke the momentum by not watching it on Sunday and now I'm not sure if I will.

Yep, same here. And Olivia Wilde is a plus, yes.
I haven't watched Sunday's episode, I think this is one of those shows i'll watch one or two at a time 2-3 weeks after it airs and hope I actually finish it.

I'm kinda disappointed with the general opinion here of the show. I don't love love it, but man, I think you guys are being over critical right off the bat. I'm at least willing to give it the season to get its footing...
