If April 13th is not yet marked on your calendar then either you don't recognize the ominous signs of the number 13 or you aren't a fan of the incredibly successful show 'Mad Men'.
The Thagent 21st Century blog is about technology products and the participants that engage with those products. If you love all of that you should love 'Mad Men'.
Here is a great little article about the coming end of the show:

Here is a snippet from that piece:
TV IS AN odd mishmash of a medium. It shares enough qualities with film that we can use the word “cinematic” as a blanket compliment, yet its traditional broadcast model more closely resembles radio. In fact, with the advent of original programming from online-only platforms, it’s increasingly difficult to tell what, exactly, TV is. Maybe that’s why, dating back to The Mary Tyler Moore Show, TV is so often about itself. There’s a long history of scripted TV that’s about making TV. Yet, for all the literal examples of it—Sports Night, 30 Rock—Mad Men, which returns for its final seven episodes on Sunday, is the most self-reflexive series of them all.
Happy Viewing,
J.W. Gant
