Was Mad Men new tonight?

It was a repeat of "5G" (a.k.a. the ep where Adam shows up). Next week is new.

I don't know why they had a repeat on this week, but they did. On the other hand comcast called it "new". But it was clearly a repeat.

Thanks. At least I didn't miss that.

Robin Hood season 2 promo - scroll down - there it is. Not enough Guy of Guisborne and then, the stupid music drowns out his dialogue.

did you guys think that the fight that David and Ellen were having brings the "past" up to right before the murder?

I didn't think so. It looked to me like Ellen was remembering the fight as she was being taken to Riker's. Plus, the previews were pretty clear that more stuff happens before we catch up to the present.

Friend emailed me this q&A from Matt Rousch:

Question: Is BBC America planning to drop good U.K. mysteries like Wire in the Blood, Murphy's Law, Silent Witness, Waking the Dead and Rebus in favor of more reality shows, as A&E did a few years ago? I have been watching the BBC America mysteries for more than six years and have liked most of the ones they air. Have you heard or read any news about BBC America's plans for the future? Most of the summer they aired reruns of Murphy's Law. It looked like they would air a new season in the fall after airing the reruns of previous seasons. However, Top Gear now is airing in the time slot that until recently was BBC America Mystery Mondays. Any information would be appreciated.— Mary Ann B.

Matt Roush: Mysteries are always going to be part of the BBC America menu, but they may not necessarily be scheduled on a dedicated night. The way it was explained to me by an insider is that BBCA is looking to build more of its schedule around longer-running series for the sake of consistency, which is why the popular Top Gear has taken over the Monday slot. But MI-5, which qualifies as a mystery thriller, has done well on Tuesdays, I'm told — although there's still no word about who is ever going to air Season 5, or when. And the new Ultimate Force series (starting this Tuesday), about an elite undercover Special Forces team, sounds like it's cut from the same military-action cloth. Plus, I've learned BBCA is coproducing the next series of the terrific Wire in the Blood, including a special episode filmed in Texas, so keep an eye out for that. And the channel will continue to import compelling mystery movies, including the upcoming Low Winter Sun (starring The Long Firm's Mark Strong) on Oct. 7. So it's not a lost cause. You just may need to be more vigilant.

Did you guys know that Jamie Bamber and Sendhil Ramamurthy are in season 1 of Ultimate Force ? That's the show that's taken over the Tuesday night spot on BBCA. I just learned this today - the first episode repeats at Noon (Central) on Sunday.

I set up to record it and my dvr screwed it up! I have it set to record on Sunday. The ads for it sounded interesting.

Did this start already? thanks for the reminder about Sunday!

BBCA shows an "encore" presentation of the previous week's episode (for any show) at 8 pm, then the new one at 9 pm (EST). And they reair them at 11 pm and midnight (EST) so there are several chances to catch the first episode.
