WANDERLUST * VEEP * MAD MEN

Wanderlust - Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd are a New York City couple who lose their jobs and end up at a commune.  It's all fluff and not really that funny, but there is an amusing something to it if you want to watch a movie and not have to think.  Some parts are unbearable, and some parts are just enough already, but it does move fast, and the guy who plays Paul Rudd's brother is the same guy who was the bachelor on that spoof about The Bachelor, so there was a bit of redeeming comedy.  

VEEP - VEEP was really good this season, and the last two shows in particular were stellar.  Really sharp and really sarcastic and really funny.  Just looking at this picture of vice president Selena (who thought up that name by the way?) makes me laugh. 

Mad Men - This show always has its ups and downs since there are times where it drags.  However the season finale was so good that I saved it to watch again.  Everything I'd been waiting for resolved, at the same time as new questions arose.  Really really good.  In the last episode there is a part that takes place in the GM Building in Detroit and you get to see the gorgeous gold lobby.   We'd go there when I was younger;  I think there might have been a restaurant, and am pretty sure my Auntie Kaye worked in that building at some point.
