and I thought I watched a lot of shows.

The second disc of Mad Men Season 4 arrived today and I'm about to cocoon myself comfortably in bed and start watching it. While Weeds has indeed turned out to be a bit of a disappointment (thank god for Andy, that's all I've got to say), I'm still hanging in there with this one. I like the quiet nature and pacing of this show. The actors fill their roles pretty seamlessly. It's like the dark side of Funny Face on morphine.
