End of the road for AMC’s ‘Mad Men’
Don’t miss
“Mad Men” series finale – One of television’s most acclaimed dramas wraps up its mesmerizing run and we’re worried. After watching Betty (January Jones) receive some devastating news last week, we just can’t handle another emotional gut punch along those lines. As for Don Draper (Jon Hamm), we’re hoping his spur-of-the-moment road trip doesn’t result in a dead end. 10 p.m. Sunday, AMC.
