The Sopranos had “Christopher.”
The West Wing had “Isaac and Ishmael.”
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, God bless it, had “Where the Wild Things Are,” “I, Robot… You Jane” and about a dozen other monster-of-the-week throwaways that even the most impassioned Buffy zealots and binge-watching shut-ins agree should be skipped.
But now that the series has drawn to a close in spectacular fashion, is it possible that there has never been a bad episode of Mad Men? And if not, does Matthew Weiner’s 1960s period drama have a legitimate claim to be considered the Greatest Television Series of All Time?
