"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."

"Sons of Anarchy" offers a tremendous episode, one of its best
"What made 'Balm' tremendous," says Zack Handlen, "was that it offered a glimpse of that salvation that's long been one of the show's defining characteristics. Unlike other crime dramas,' Sons of Anarchy' has people who can be noble, people for whom family life and brotherhood aren't just ways of hiding their essential venality."

Letterman is prepared to testify, says his attorney
"Mr. Letterman is not on trial," David Letterman's attorney, Daniel J. Horwitz, said in response to claims that Robert Halderman was merely trying to sell him a script. "Any attempt to focus attention on Mr. Letterman, who’s the victim in this case, is an attempt to divert attention away from Mr. Halderman." He added: "Mr. Letterman is fully prepared to see this case through to the end."
