Welcome back, folks, to the next installment of my Buzz Gift Guide series for all the entertainment lovers in your life. Yesterday I suggested some fun gifts for grandma (after tackling mom and dad), and that leaves us with grandpa!
The first thing I thought of for my grandpa was the soundtrack to AMC's hit show Mad Men.

The Simpsons may not be must-see TV for me like it was a few years back, but I still try to make a point of watching the annual Halloween special, the Treehouse of Horror. Even though it usually airs after Halloween (thanks a lot, World Series), it keeps me in the spooky holiday mood with clever horror parodies.
I'm especially excited for this year's (19th!) episode because it includes a takeoff on one of my favorite Halloween traditions: It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

Which Mad Men Lady Is Your Favorite? The men of Mad Men can sometimes be like train wrecks — I have to watch them even when I find some of them repellent. And while Don Draper may be the center of the show, I actually think it's the ladies who keep me coming back for more week after week. The fashion is amazing for one thing, and Joan, Peggy, and Betty are some of the most fascinating and heartbreaking female characters on television right now.

Mad Men Rundown: Episode 13, "Meditations in an Emergency" The storm clouds swirled on this week's exciting season finale of Mad Men. As the terror of the Cuban missile crisis thrums below the surface, everyone copes with the prospect of the end of the world in his or her own way. The entire episode has a nihilistic vibe to it, with characters weighing each moment against the idea that it could be their last.

You, Too, Can Pick Up Women Just Like Don Draper It's been a very Mad Men weekend around here. In addition to the second-season finale on Sunday night, about which I'll have a lot more to say in just a little while, Jon Hamm also stopped by Saturday Night Live for a guest-hosting gig that poked some fun at Mad Men and Hamm's character, Don Draper.

A bunch of Hamm's sketches were funny — I was pretty impressed with him overall — and it was great to see fellow Mad Men actors Elisabeth Moss and John Slattery pop up in one of the scenes.

Sigh — it's here. The end of Mad Men (for this season, anyway — it's coming back). I can't believe it!

This weekend I'd like to draw your attention to a couple of television shows hitting our screens. First up, the first season of the absolutely fantastic drama Mad Men is going to be repeated on BBC4 starting on Saturday evening at 11.30pm and I would highly recommend you watch or record it if you haven't seen it before. It's a stylish, thought provoking and fabulously acted series set at one of New York's most prestigious advertising agencies at the beginning of the 1960s.
