Happy Mad Men premiere weekend, everyone! Since Sunday's season four opener is more anticipated in some circles than the Emmys, the Oscars or any other second-rate award show that cannot find a way to honor Jon Hamm (Just make a category, Grammys), Movieline is providing you with the first-ever Mad Men office pool to satisfy all of your gambling needs. Print out 40, pass them around the office and prepare to collect enough money for that Mad Men-inspired Hamilton watch you've had your eye on.

When you see who was eliminated last night, you'll realize they're attempting a controversial dance called the Paso Delusional.

Here we go again: Another season of Mad Men is upon us, and with it brings all the suspicions, concerns, grudges, loose ends, new beginnings and general effluvia lingering since last year's big finale.

And bring your own if you've got 'em. (And of course you've got them.)

Last night, CBS staged a mock execution for six of its Big Brother houseguests. The network locked the reality contestants into cardboard guillotines under the hot afternoon sun, whacked each of them in the face with plastic dollar bills for an hour and then waited for one to die in response to this repulsive reality experiment.
