Mad Men Recap: "Mad Money"

Review: The Prisoner - Part Five: Schizoid
(E05) So I'm feeling a little more confident as the fifth installment wraps that The Village isn't as real a construct as perhaps the original was. At the same time, I have a hard time in a show like this just taking something that I'm told to be the truth and accepting it. Maybe I'm like Six in that way.
In this episode, both Two and Six experience time outside themselves, while 1112 learns more about himself than any of us realized. And if what he learns is anything close to the truth, it can do a lot to explain much of what has happened, and how the Village can be as comprehensive as it appears to be.
Transformers 2?
Both Toon Zone and ICv2 have written of a supposed Entertainment Tonight report that there will be a sequel to the recently-released Transformers movie (which has already been a line of toys, several animated TV series, a comic book and a feature-length animated film).
However, my scan of the ET site has not brought up anything of the sort, and while a couple articles from other sites do allude to the possibility of a sequel, I see nothing that could be construed as an official announcement.
TiVo will let you record two shows at once
Sure, having a TiVo is nice, but what happens
when you want to record two shows that are on at the same time? Starting the first of May, new Tivo boxes will be
available that will allow viewers to record two shows simultaneously. Currently the boxes, like VCRs, only allow a
person to record one show at a time. This is a very cool move on TiVo's part, I think, and it's one the company needed
to make as it tries to set itself apart from other DVR manufacturers. The new boxes will hold up to 80 hours worth of
programming, and will cost $99.99 (but that's after the activation fee and rebate).
New Sesame Street DVDs under fire
The television set has been at the center of a debate over child rearing since it was first
introduced into our homes. One question that comes up often is how young is too young when it comes to plopping your
kid in front of the tube. The American Academy of Pediatrics has said for years that any child under the age of two
shouldn't be allowed to watch TV, but Sesame Street is challenging that notion with a new DVD
series aimed at the "under two" set called Sesame Beginnings, and some child advocates are not
thrilled about it, claiming that exposure to media at such an early age can harm a child's development. In defense of
Sesame Street and Sesame Workshop, the company has never ventured into anything haphazardly, and a lot of
thought and research went into these DVDs. Still, my feelings are that even if the DVDs are "safe" a child's
time would be better spent anywhere except in front of the television. They don't need to be stimulated by bright
colors and Muppets; the world is already fascinating enough to them.TV Squad Hot Topics
