Jon Hamm: TV Guide News

Is it just me or do Mad Men's ... | Matt Roush | 9/22/2008
Question: Is it just me or do Mad Men's Jon Hamm and Heroes' Adrian Pasdar look like they could be related? Pasdar could play a relative of Dick Whitman's or maybe a nemesis from his past. And can't you just see him slipping smoothly into the '60s setting? Also, I've just recently started watching Mad Men and I can see the allure, but all the "isms" (take your pick: racism, sexism, anti-Semitism, etc.) are getting to me. And the smoking! Yes, people smoked back then, we get it. Hopefully, they'll dial that down a bit. And I think I have my Halloween costume for this year: Joan. Of course, I will need the biggest padded bra, ever. Answer: Oh, how cool would it be if Mad Men's fashion became a hot Halloween trend. Best dressed trick-or-treaters/partygoers ever. (And speaking of bras, how painful did it look when Joan rubbed her shoulder where the bra strap was digging in after her latest bad day at the office?) Love the Hamm-Pasdar "separated at birth"... read more be the first to leave a comment
Critic's Notebook: Mad Men, Fringe Update | Matt Roush | 9/16/2008
Some good news/bad news about AMC's Mad Men, which has been firing on all cylinders lately. The good news: The show has already won four creative arts Emmys (including cinematography, main title credits, art direction and, yes, hairstyling), and let's hope for even more good fortune come Sunday. More good news: Fans of Mad Men no longer have to choose between watching a new episode this Sunday or the Emmy telecast to see how the show fares. AMC has wisely decided to bench the show this weekend (replacing the scheduled new episode with a replay of the excellent "Three Sundays" episode from earlier this season). read more be the first to leave a comment
Mad Men as a Work of Art | Matt Roush | 9/8/2008
As glittery and shiny as the spanking new 1962 Coupe de Ville that Don Draper buys (and whose new-car smell Betty ruins in the stunningly appropriate final scene of Sunday's episode), as rich and textured and ambiguous as the modernist Mark Rothko painting Cooper displays in his office, AMC's Mad Men is firing on all cylinders midway through its second season. Sunday's brilliantly structured episode, another home run in a recent string of winners, had me looking anew at the show as a work of art, something transcending mere TV. I could devote an entire column to quoting great, meaningful, loaded dialogue from this episode. Surely they'll publish collected scripts of Mad Men some day. It will make great reading, possibly even as satisfying as watching it. read more be the first to leave a comment
Mad Men (and Funny Tina Fey) at the TCA Awards | Matt Roush | 7/21/2008
In case you hadn’t heard, AMC’s Mad Men is not only a hit with the Emmy voters (the most nominated drama this year, with 16) but it’s a bona fide critics’ darling, walking away with three Television Critics Association Awards over the weekend at the 24th annual ceremony in Beverly Hills. Mad Men won for new program, outstanding achievement in drama and program of the year, prompting Emmy-nominated co-star John Slattery to quip (during one of the show’s several acceptance speeches), “How glad I am that the message of smoking, drinking and whoring Mad Men puts across has registered with the TCAs.”Jon Hamm, also an Emmy nominee, thanked reality shows like Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Flavor of Love, Rock of Love (all three seasons) and Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader “for pushing the envelope so far that way that there was a place kind of on this side for us to sneak in.”HBO’s epic John Adams miniseries won two awards, for Paul... read more be the first to leave a comment

The stars of each series, Jon Hamm and Glenn Close, each also received nominations in the Outstanding Lead Actor/Actress in a Drama Series categories respectively. HBO's John Adams won the day with the most nominations (23), including nods for Best Miniseries and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries for Paul Giamatti's portrayal of the miniseries' title character. 30 Rock (17) and Mad Men (16) rounded out the top three nod-grabbers.In an unprecedented move earlier this summer, the Academy revealed the 10 semifinalists in each of the major categories. A blue-ribbon panel then whittled the list to the final nominees (all of which you can see here).So, what do you think of... read more be the first to leave a comment
