'Mad Men' Gets 19 Emmy Nominations

"Mad Men" received a whopping 19 Emmy nominations today -- I still haven't finished watching Season 4, but I like what I've seen -- bested only by "Mildred Pierce," which got 21. (“Modern Family” was the most-nominated sitcom with 17 bids.) Happy to see another nod for Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton from "Friday Night Lights" and a best drama nod for the series (finally!). Also, a fifth nomination for Kathy Griffin! Think it's pretty lame that "Chelsea Lately" didn't get nominated when "Conan" did. (Hasn't that only been on for a few months?)

I think its visually beautiful but incredibly slow and tedious and I actually think John is kind of wooden in his role although I like him.

I've really tried to like MAD MEN but cannot for the life of me find any interest in watching it.
