Tonight's "Glee" is a game-changer of an episode
"This episode is the turning point for the show," says Ryan Murphy. "Certainly, after this, it remains a comedy, and it’s fun.

It’s tough, and it’s painful, and it was for me growing up, and it is for most people." PLUS: Chris Colfer won't say if he's gay in real life.

"Mad Men" is one of the few shows to treat viewers like adults
The AMC series doesn't pander to its audience, says Tim Goodman. "It's not every day that a faltering marriage, built on a lie grasped in fear and protected with admirable, unwavering confidence by the main character, collapses so sublimely over the course of three seasons," he writes. "For that matter, it's a rarity when viewers are given insight into the human condition not by quick-cut witticisms or explosive, violent action sequences but in everyday ordinariness that can be drab or meandering – just like life."
