Mad Men is back, and I'm glad. Even though the two-part premiere episode wasn't perfect, it brought some keen acting, sharp dialogue, and stunning visuals. And it brought the show fully into the beginning of the fire that consumed the late 1960s.
The business of "Mad Men" at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce wouldn't be nearly as entertaining without that first name on the door: Roger Sterling (John...

John Slattery stopped by "Watch What Happens: Live" (Weeknights, 11 p.m. ET on Bravo) alongside Rashida Jones ("Parks & Recreation"). As is typical fo...
