Mad Men: Season 3

It's all about waiting for it. Last episode of this season? "Peggy, get me some coffee." "No."

Crazy, Stupid, Love.

It's been a long time since I've seen that amount of truth in a would-be sex scene.

Robots

Don't understand the critics. Just the Rube Goldberg devices put this over the top (not to mention Robin Williams, Britney Spears and Gene Kelly).

My Dog Tulip

Ackerley has it exactly right when he describes pets as looking as if they're saying "What?" and "WHAT!!!" at the same time.

Numb3rs: Season 1

I couldn't care less that it's standard crime drama with characters with no real lives. The math is fabulous.

Rio

Aside from doing a nice job depicting Rio itself, this is fairly standard start to finish.

Insidious

Old school horror! Title font, solid camera work, understated action, and all. (Consequently, it was a LOT scarier.)

The Pacific

Two dissimilar things I learned from this series: you can recreate the incessant horror of war on television, and the armed forces does make a significant investment in each and every man.
