“You can still be direct without being a total douchebag”
– Jon Hamm

AMC’s hit series Mad Men turned the channel into a legitimate network for original programming. Their previous claim to fame was simply showing old films, as their title American Movie Classics indicated. Harkening back to a more “classic” era, Mad Men takes place in the world of 1960s advertising. The smoldering period piece stars Jon Hamm as Don Draper, the top ad man at Sterling Cooper. The world of the office features lots of smoking, suits and pre-sexual harassment sexism.

““There will be an end when it comes.”
-Michael C. Hall

The first season of Dexter was pretty much based on the book, Darkly Dreaming Dexter. There weren’t spoilers so much as there were dramatizations of the novel. Season two went off with an original story, though still resolving some issues from season one. Now entering its third season, everything is fair game on Dexter.

“It all begins and ends with Animal from The Muppets.”
-Rainn Wilson

Robert “Fish” Fishman is in his early 40s. He spends his days as a quiet pencil-pusher in a Cleveland office park and his nights trying to forget about the time, 20 years ago, when he was the drummer of a rising pop-metal band called Vesuvius and was unfairly bounced from their lineup before they blasted off into the rock n’ roll stratosphere. On the eve of the band’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he decides to distract himself by doing a little drumming for his nephew’s high-school garage band, led by the talented Curtis (singer Teddy Geiger) and the cute Amelia (Superbad’s Emma Stone) and that’s when fate opens up a window for an unlikely second chance at rock glory.

Rainn Wilson called up SuicideGirls recently to talk about The Rocker – how he relates to late-bloomers like Fish, why he thinks drumming is “inherently funny” and whether hair metal bands actually belong in the Hall of Fame.
