Sunday TV

Sunday nights are probably my favorite for the whole week! Throughout the year, there is always something great on TV on Sunday nights, and currently, two totally opposite shows that I refuse to miss are airing.

Bored to Death is HBO's new comedy-noir starring Jason Schwartzman and Ted Danson. Schwartzman stars as Jonathan Ames, a writer who moonlights as a private detective. The way they go back and forth between Jonathan's hum-drum day to day life and his act as a detective is so perfect, and the show is hilarious! Ted Danson, as Jonathan's boss, is perfect!

Then, there's Mad Men, which is a show I have plugged on here shamelessly numerous times. With only 3 episodes left in the third season, it's not to be missed! For all the other crap on TV, Mad Men, a show about an ad agency in Manhattan, manages to be simultaneously the most sad, often times funny, and occasionally disturbing thing on TV. They say so much by saying so little! And the fact that the characters can cheat, drink, lie, and do various other bad things, and still make you love them is a testiment to the quality of this show.
