Comings & Goings: Mad Men, Viva Laughlin | Roush Dispatch | 10/18/2007

There, only those with the most morbid curiosity to watch a show’s slow yet hopefully quick death are likely to follow (unless every critic I know is totally off the mark).First, a salute to the best and most fascinating new show to arrive on TV this year (and I’m even including my quirky new treasure Pushing Daisies in that equation).

Ask Matt | 8/20/2007
Just wondering about your take on Viva Laughlin. Is it really as bad as some of the critics are making it out to be, or is it the musical aspect that some people just can't stomach? I'm quite intrigued by all of the CBS promos for Viva ? Hugh Jackman! Melanie Griffith! I'm there for at least the first few episodes! read more
