He stated his opinion and then stated it again. Edelstein is a passionate and often quite humorous writer who gives us what he’s got and is never pompous.

Koreeda’s compositions have a sympathetic detachment that Americans rarely value but is, for many Japanese, the whole point of art. That means you can contemplate the wonder in these glowing young faces without feeling as if you’re on an intravenous drip of corn syrup. The message is un-American, too -- that it’s wiser to make peace with the world into which you’ve been thrust than spend your time wishing for a better one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Scathing\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"http://nymag.com/movies/reviews/ides-of-march-edelstein-2011-10/\">on \u003c/a>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://nymag.com/movies/reviews/ides-of-march-edelstein-2011-10/\">The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)\u003c/a>, \u003c/em>“The movie is a reductio ad absurdum, a sick joke taken to extremes, beginning with a goof on the notion that horror movies inspire copycats and ending with a test to determine whether some people will watch anything.

Because it’s the premiere of \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>’s sixth season!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before we begin I want to note that judging by the commercial breaks, Lincoln, for whom John Slattery did a \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CE2lIBQn2KM\">cool commercial\u003c/a> a while ago, seems to have replaced Jaguar as the overly-intrusive main sponsor of \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>. The ways in which this show subverts its own product placement deserve an essay of their own, but I’ll say this: last season the fictionalized Jaguar company involved the SCDP agency in prostitution, and in a later episode, a Jaguar was almost used for suicide—until the car wouldn’t start. So good luck, Lincoln, you’re gonna need it if your products actually end up appearing on the show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The episode, “The Doorway”, written by the show’s creator, Matthew Weiner, starts off with Don and Megan in Hawaii, with Don intoning a passage from the \u003cem>Inferno\u003c/em>, which he reads on the beach. Beyond the Dante allusion, there is a lot of heat and fire imagery in the sequence that follows, from Hawaiian fire dancing, tiki torches, and a pair of joints Megan scores. All that hellfire is juxtaposed with repeated reference to Hawaii as “paradise.” Look at my English major paying off, haters!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apparently Megan is recognizable from some soap opera now—“I can’t believe Victor won’t acknowledge you,” coos a fan who approaches her. Don meets a soldier about to get married before leaving for Vietnam. The soldier’s best man is passed out at the bar, and Don ends up serving in his stead as the couple get married on the beach. Megan finds Don and snaps a picture. Don later realizes he accidentally stole the soldier’s lighter, which has the soldier’s name on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The whole Hawaii sequence—from a master of ceremonies telling obnoxious jokes to the tourists for what feels like a long time, to the soldier bragging about killing water buffalo—made my skin crawl. Weiner, in his work on \u003cem>The Sopranos\u003c/em> as well as \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>, is great at this: showing the subtle horror of average lameness. Don’s aloof smirk is the only thing stopping these scenes from becoming pure “Look at these godawful people” and nothing more—but Don’s passivity also makes him complicit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, at the Francis residence, Henry and Betty have apparently taken in a young orphan who hopes to study violin at Juilliard. Bobby Draper says the violin looks like a coffin. Last season laid on the ominous death vibes pretty thick, but this season seems to be taking it even further. In the next scene, Don witnesses a doorman called Jonesy having a heart attack, and a doctor named Arnold Rosen administers CPR. Rosen’s wife is played by former \u003cem>Freaks and Geeks\u003c/em> star Linda Cardellini.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Betty climbs into bed with her husband and commences saying SUPER HORRIFYING things about the young violinist, suggesting Henry “rape” her. I read this as a comment on present-day rape culture: the past year has brought a lot of ignorance about rape to light thanks to comments from Todd Akin and Tosh.0, to name a few, and it’s interesting to consider the idea that rape might have been spoken of as a mere kink, the way Betty talks about it here, more often in the late '60s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Betty then goes downstairs and has a conversation with the violinist, who didn’t get into Juilliard. Somehow this scene made me sympathize with Betty despite the disgusting monologue she just delivered—Betty, in her modeling days, lived in a packed apartment and ate soup out of cans, and the violinist, apparently now intent on moving to Greenwich Village and becoming a bohemian, is pretty arrogant. This is another thing the show is great at: I was raised to believe that the revolution of the '60s was purely altruistic and important, but I think it’s equally important that we view the squares with sympathy, and see how they stayed square.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We check in with Peggy, whose awful boyfriend is now rocking a \u003ca href=\"http://home.gwi.net/~drrknrl/Images/fz70s.jpg\">Frank Zappa ‘stache\u003c/a>, and Roger, who is in therapy, but who mostly uses the psychiatric couch to joke—perhaps he should have been a standup comedian. Roger, who once said, “When God closes a door, he opens a dress,” gives the episode its title by discussing doorways in life, which “all close behind you.” His shrink is not amused, and the next scene parallels this moment, as Peggy is forced to endure a coworker’s stilted recounting of a late-night comedic monologue about American soldiers taking Vietnamese ears for trophies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A guy named Bob Benson is scheming hard to impress Don, even giving him an extra coffee he just happened to have on him. Ginsberg’s new mustache totally beats Peggy’s boyfriend’s. Peggy, convincing her client to give her time to figure out how to make a great ad, is in full glory-days-Don mode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Don, who once said that \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XXoxCjdfTY\">love is just a sentiment created by ad men like him\u003c/a>, is now upset at his firm’s and other agency’s “trivialization of the word.” One gets the feeling he has since learned love from Megan, and has already fallen out of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Don gives Dr. Arnold Rosen a camera in a drawn-out scene full of unusually boring banter. Sometimes this show errs too much on the side of dropping its audience into a trivial moment in its characters’ lives and forcing us to wait and find out the significance, if there is any, and this focus on Don and the doctor's cordial acquaintance is one such instance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The halfway point of the two-hour special is saved, though, by Roger’s reaction to his mother’s death. Roger is characteristically hilarious throughout her funeral service—\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dsw9jYU_rJI\">a Groucho Marx trapped in a world of Margaret Dumonts.\u003c/a> However, it’s clear he had been holding out for his mother to die for a long, long time.

Because it’s the premiere of \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>’s sixth season!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before we begin I want to note that judging by the commercial breaks, Lincoln, for whom John Slattery did a \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CE2lIBQn2KM\">cool commercial\u003c/a> a while ago, seems to have replaced Jaguar as the overly-intrusive main sponsor of \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>. The ways in which this show subverts its own product placement deserve an essay of their own, but I’ll say this: last season the fictionalized Jaguar company involved the SCDP agency in prostitution, and in a later episode, a Jaguar was almost used for suicide—until the car wouldn’t start. So good luck, Lincoln, you’re gonna need it if your products actually end up appearing on the show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The episode, “The Doorway”, written by the show’s creator, Matthew Weiner, starts off with Don and Megan in Hawaii, with Don intoning a passage from the \u003cem>Inferno\u003c/em>, which he reads on the beach. Beyond the Dante allusion, there is a lot of heat and fire imagery in the sequence that follows, from Hawaiian fire dancing, tiki torches, and a pair of joints Megan scores. All that hellfire is juxtaposed with repeated reference to Hawaii as “paradise.” Look at my English major paying off, haters!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apparently Megan is recognizable from some soap opera now—“I can’t believe Victor won’t acknowledge you,” coos a fan who approaches her. Don meets a soldier about to get married before leaving for Vietnam. The soldier’s best man is passed out at the bar, and Don ends up serving in his stead as the couple get married on the beach. Megan finds Don and snaps a picture. Don later realizes he accidentally stole the soldier’s lighter, which has the soldier’s name on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Weiner, in his work on \u003cem>The Sopranos\u003c/em> as well as \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>, is great at this: showing the subtle horror of average lameness. Don’s aloof smirk is the only thing stopping these scenes from becoming pure “Look at these godawful people” and nothing more—but Don’s passivity also makes him complicit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, at the Francis residence, Henry and Betty have apparently taken in a young orphan who hopes to study violin at Juilliard. Bobby Draper says the violin looks like a coffin. Last season laid on the ominous death vibes pretty thick, but this season seems to be taking it even further. In the next scene, Don witnesses a doorman called Jonesy having a heart attack, and a doctor named Arnold Rosen administers CPR. Rosen’s wife is played by former \u003cem>Freaks and Geeks\u003c/em> star Linda Cardellini.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Betty climbs into bed with her husband and commences saying SUPER HORRIFYING things about the young violinist, suggesting Henry “rape” her. I read this as a comment on present-day rape culture: the past year has brought a lot of ignorance about rape to light thanks to comments from Todd Akin and Tosh.0, to name a few, and it’s interesting to consider the idea that rape might have been spoken of as a mere kink, the way Betty talks about it here, more often in the late '60s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Betty then goes downstairs and has a conversation with the violinist, who didn’t get into Juilliard. Somehow this scene made me sympathize with Betty despite the disgusting monologue she just delivered—Betty, in her modeling days, lived in a packed apartment and ate soup out of cans, and the violinist, apparently now intent on moving to Greenwich Village and becoming a bohemian, is pretty arrogant. This is another thing the show is great at: I was raised to believe that the revolution of the '60s was purely altruistic and important, but I think it’s equally important that we view the squares with sympathy, and see how they stayed square.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We check in with Peggy, whose awful boyfriend is now rocking a \u003ca href=\"http://home.gwi.net/~drrknrl/Images/fz70s.jpg\">Frank Zappa ‘stache\u003c/a>, and Roger, who is in therapy, but who mostly uses the psychiatric couch to joke—perhaps he should have been a standup comedian. Roger, who once said, “When God closes a door, he opens a dress,” gives the episode its title by discussing doorways in life, which “all close behind you.” His shrink is not amused, and the next scene parallels this moment, as Peggy is forced to endure a coworker’s stilted recounting of a late-night comedic monologue about American soldiers taking Vietnamese ears for trophies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A guy named Bob Benson is scheming hard to impress Don, even giving him an extra coffee he just happened to have on him. Ginsberg’s new mustache totally beats Peggy’s boyfriend’s. Peggy, convincing her client to give her time to figure out how to make a great ad, is in full glory-days-Don mode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Don, who once said that \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XXoxCjdfTY\">love is just a sentiment created by ad men like him\u003c/a>, is now upset at his firm’s and other agency’s “trivialization of the word.” One gets the feeling he has since learned love from Megan, and has already fallen out of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Don gives Dr. Arnold Rosen a camera in a drawn-out scene full of unusually boring banter. Sometimes this show errs too much on the side of dropping its audience into a trivial moment in its characters’ lives and forcing us to wait and find out the significance, if there is any, and this focus on Don and the doctor's cordial acquaintance is one such instance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The halfway point of the two-hour special is saved, though, by Roger’s reaction to his mother’s death. Roger is characteristically hilarious throughout her funeral service—\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dsw9jYU_rJI\">a Groucho Marx trapped in a world of Margaret Dumonts.\u003c/a> However, it’s clear he had been holding out for his mother to die for a long, long time. Roger’s psychiatrist’s question, “What exactly are you joking about?” becomes very relevant, especially when drunk Don vomits on the floor (at the mention of sunshine) and Roger notices his ex-wife’s plus-one. Roger yells, “This is MY FUNERAL!” and tries to kick everybody out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This episode placed a special emphasis on uncomfortable monologues: the hacky MC in Hawaii, Betty making rape jokes like a bad comedian herself, Roger’s Portnoy’s Complaint moment, the \"ears\" routine, and a vomit-inducingly trite eulogy by a friend of Roger’s mother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drunk Don presses Jonesy about what happened “when he died.” (“I guess there was a light.” “Like a hot tropical sunshine?”) At this point there are so many commercial breaks that I start to wish \u003cem>I\u003c/em> was seeing the soft light of death myself.

Theme parties are what separate us from animals; as my sainted Grandmama used to say: \"There's never anything so wrong with the world that some crepe paper decorations and a crystal punch bowl can't fix.\" Some of my past successes in this area include: The Class of 1984 Prom, Wes Craven Meets Wes Anderson Halloween, A Tilda Swinton Christmas (now in its third year!) and of course, A Very Jeff Koons Kwanzaa. For this Sunday's \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em> premiere, I can only assume you've been working overtime planning the perfect gathering to celebrate the return of America's \u003cem>Downton Abbey\u003c/em>. Just in case some of you have been slipping in this department (slipping like the late Lane Pryce, poor man), here are some helpful hints to make a gathering even Henry Francis' dour mother would approve of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Costuming: \u003c/strong>The decade is moving on and, as Megan Draper's swinging style has indicated, so are the fashions. Go for paisleys, psychedelic prints and the London look. Of course, no one ever looked bad in a classic skinny suit or shift dress and, if you don't have time to scour the vintage boutiques for the real deal, \u003ca href=\"http://www.bananarepublic.com/products/mad-men-collection.jsp\">Banana Republic has the nouveau versions readily available.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Grub On Fun Finger Foods: \u003c/strong>The '60s were all about cocktail dining (basically anything you could eat on a toothpick). Pigs-in-a-blanket. cheese-puffs, canapes, and marshmallow kabobs are all fun, authentic mid-century hors d'ouvres that don't require an overwhelming amount of prep work. If you're on a diet, just eat the brandied cherries out of a Manhattan or, for a savory treat, the olive out of a martini.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 456px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://media.amctv.com/photo-gallery/mm6-studio-photos/MMS6_0159.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"456\" height=\"321\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Megan Draper (Jessica Pare), Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss), Joan Harris (Christina Hendricks) and Betty Francis (January Jones) Photo Credit: Frank Ockenfels/AMC\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Discuss Whether You Are A Joan, Betty, Megan Or Peggy: \u003c/strong>This is perhaps the greatest question of our century.

That said, I won't deny the occasional slip into sultry Joan territory or frosty, complicated bouts of Betty every now and then. How about you?

You'll need: 1 container of Orange Sherbet, 1 two liter of Ginger Ale, 1 bottle of Champagne. Combine ingredients in large punch bowl. For extra style, add orange rounds to the bowl. For extra kick, add gin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Invent Your Own \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em> Drinking Game: \u003c/strong>I would say \"drink every time they drink,\" but I care about your livers too much, gentle readers, to suggest that.

Theme parties are what separate us from animals; as my sainted Grandmama used to say: \"There's never anything so wrong with the world that some crepe paper decorations and a crystal punch bowl can't fix.\" Some of my past successes in this area include: The Class of 1984 Prom, Wes Craven Meets Wes Anderson Halloween, A Tilda Swinton Christmas (now in its third year!) and of course, A Very Jeff Koons Kwanzaa. For this Sunday's \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em> premiere, I can only assume you've been working overtime planning the perfect gathering to celebrate the return of America's \u003cem>Downton Abbey\u003c/em>. Just in case some of you have been slipping in this department (slipping like the late Lane Pryce, poor man), here are some helpful hints to make a gathering even Henry Francis' dour mother would approve of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Costuming: \u003c/strong>The decade is moving on and, as Megan Draper's swinging style has indicated, so are the fashions. Go for paisleys, psychedelic prints and the London look. Of course, no one ever looked bad in a classic skinny suit or shift dress and, if you don't have time to scour the vintage boutiques for the real deal, \u003ca href=\"http://www.bananarepublic.com/products/mad-men-collection.jsp\">Banana Republic has the nouveau versions readily available.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Grub On Fun Finger Foods: \u003c/strong>The '60s were all about cocktail dining (basically anything you could eat on a toothpick). Pigs-in-a-blanket. cheese-puffs, canapes, and marshmallow kabobs are all fun, authentic mid-century hors d'ouvres that don't require an overwhelming amount of prep work. If you're on a diet, just eat the brandied cherries out of a Manhattan or, for a savory treat, the olive out of a martini.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 456px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://media.amctv.com/photo-gallery/mm6-studio-photos/MMS6_0159.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"456\" height=\"321\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Megan Draper (Jessica Pare), Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss), Joan Harris (Christina Hendricks) and Betty Francis (January Jones) Photo Credit: Frank Ockenfels/AMC\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Discuss Whether You Are A Joan, Betty, Megan Or Peggy: \u003c/strong>This is perhaps the greatest question of our century. I personally am somewhere between ambitious actress Megan and ambitious woman-trying-to-make-it-in-a-man's-world Peggy. That said, I won't deny the occasional slip into sultry Joan territory or frosty, complicated bouts of Betty every now and then. How about you? For \u003cem>Mad Men \u003c/em>viewers, this is our \"Beatles or Stones\" debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Pay Homage To HoJo's Orange Sherbet Punch: \u003c/strong>Here's a quick and easy recipe that doesn't taste \"perfumey\" at all, like Megan found the Howard Johnson's orange sherbet (which, as you may recall, sparked an enormous fight with Don). You'll need: 1 container of Orange Sherbet, 1 two liter of Ginger Ale, 1 bottle of Champagne. Combine ingredients in large punch bowl. For extra style, add orange rounds to the bowl. For extra kick, add gin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The \u003cem>Beavis and Butt-head\u003c/em> animated spinoff, \u003cem>Daria\u003c/em>, first aired on MTV on March 3, 1997 and we misunderstood high schoolers suddenly had a new hero. Daria's \"anti-teen\" monotone sass was intriguing. This was certainly not the picture of high school life normally depicted on television. This was a far cry from the melodrama of \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108949/\">\u003cem>Sweet Valley High\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and the like. This was my kind of show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a protagonist, Daria spoke directly to any kid that didn't quite fit in, which, quite honestly, was a lot of us. She was able to tell a side of the story of high school social structure that hadn't really been told before. She was there for us, a non-excitable beacon of hope for the underdogs. But it wasn't just the fact that Daria was an oft-misunderstood oddball that attracted me to the show or the fact that Daria had a knack for seeing things for what they really are. The entire cast of characters added depth (or a lack thereof), humor and insight to the whole coming of age story. And besides all of that, I kind of had a cartoon crush on Trent. What I really found striking about the show though, I mean besides Trent's perfect, buttery '90s alt-rocker voice, were the lessons. We're not talking school lessons here, we're talking big time life lessons and, yes, these lessons were delivered by a cartoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I mentioned, the cast of \u003cem>Daria\u003c/em> had some rather sagacious things to say about life and how best to live it, whether they meant to or not. Perhaps it was accidental wisdom but wisdom just the same. Here are a few of my biggest take-aways from one of my all time favorite cartoons:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>Labeling People is Dangerous\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/8726/dariat.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"259\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cem>Image via: \u003ca id=\"irc_hol\" href=\"http://lifebehindthescenes.wordpress.com/2011/08/20/25-shows-daria/\">lifebehindthescenes.wordpress.com\u003c/a> \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure, we all do it. As human beings, it's easiest for us to put things (and people) into mental compartments. It helps us make sense of things. But when it comes to labeling people, things can get a bit dicey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of \u003cem>Daria\u003c/em> deals with labels; there's the jock, the cheerleader, the artsy outcast, the popular clique, and the brain. In just about every episode, Daria is referred to as a \"brain\" or a \"loser\" and clearly there's more to her than that. We can see the depth of her character, but her compatriots cannot. This is endlessly frustrating for Daria. However, it doesn't prevent her from doling out the same treatment to others. She dismisses most of what Britney and Kevin bring to the table (and for good reason as much of it is nonsensical) and she refuses to acknowledge any positive attributes of her sister, Quinn. It’s a seemingly endless cycle and it stinks. Eventually, though, Daria and her classmates come to the realization that there’s more to each of them than meets the eye and that taking the time to get to know someone without snap judgments is really the best bet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>Babes Can Also Be Bums\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http://greasymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/30140578-650x474.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"474\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cem>Image via: http://greasymag.com\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daria’s first major crush is on (who else) Jane’s brother, Trent, a tattooed dreamboat of a rocker with several earrings and fledgling alternative band. Swoon city. She pines for him, she blushes when he speaks, she gets super nervous around him and can’t be her normal witty self.

It holds her back from new experiences and relationships and sometimes it even makes her act like a jerk. The good news is Daria isn’t so headstrong that she doesn’t eventually come to the conclusion that it’s OK to admit when you’re wrong about something and that having strong ideals doesn’t mean there is no room for compromise.

The \u003cem>Beavis and Butt-head\u003c/em> animated spinoff, \u003cem>Daria\u003c/em>, first aired on MTV on March 3, 1997 and we misunderstood high schoolers suddenly had a new hero. Daria's \"anti-teen\" monotone sass was intriguing. This was certainly not the picture of high school life normally depicted on television. This was a far cry from the melodrama of \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108949/\">\u003cem>Sweet Valley High\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and the like. This was my kind of show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a protagonist, Daria spoke directly to any kid that didn't quite fit in, which, quite honestly, was a lot of us. She was able to tell a side of the story of high school social structure that hadn't really been told before. She was there for us, a non-excitable beacon of hope for the underdogs. But it wasn't just the fact that Daria was an oft-misunderstood oddball that attracted me to the show or the fact that Daria had a knack for seeing things for what they really are. The entire cast of characters added depth (or a lack thereof), humor and insight to the whole coming of age story. And besides all of that, I kind of had a cartoon crush on Trent. What I really found striking about the show though, I mean besides Trent's perfect, buttery '90s alt-rocker voice, were the lessons. We're not talking school lessons here, we're talking big time life lessons and, yes, these lessons were delivered by a cartoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I mentioned, the cast of \u003cem>Daria\u003c/em> had some rather sagacious things to say about life and how best to live it, whether they meant to or not. Perhaps it was accidental wisdom but wisdom just the same. Here are a few of my biggest take-aways from one of my all time favorite cartoons:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>Labeling People is Dangerous\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/8726/dariat.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"259\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As human beings, it's easiest for us to put things (and people) into mental compartments. It helps us make sense of things. But when it comes to labeling people, things can get a bit dicey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of \u003cem>Daria\u003c/em> deals with labels; there's the jock, the cheerleader, the artsy outcast, the popular clique, and the brain. In just about every episode, Daria is referred to as a \"brain\" or a \"loser\" and clearly there's more to her than that. We can see the depth of her character, but her compatriots cannot. This is endlessly frustrating for Daria. However, it doesn't prevent her from doling out the same treatment to others. She dismisses most of what Britney and Kevin bring to the table (and for good reason as much of it is nonsensical) and she refuses to acknowledge any positive attributes of her sister, Quinn. It’s a seemingly endless cycle and it stinks. Eventually, though, Daria and her classmates come to the realization that there’s more to each of them than meets the eye and that taking the time to get to know someone without snap judgments is really the best bet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>Babes Can Also Be Bums\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http://greasymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/30140578-650x474.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"474\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cem>Image via: http://greasymag.com\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daria’s first major crush is on (who else) Jane’s brother, Trent, a tattooed dreamboat of a rocker with several earrings and fledgling alternative band. Swoon city. She pines for him, she blushes when he speaks, she gets super nervous around him and can’t be her normal witty self. In other words, this crush is the real deal and, of course, unrequited. Trent spends most of his time sleeping and writing bad songs. This is still appealing to Daria. It isn’t until Daria visualizes Trent’s future, and boy is it bleak (picture future Trent: overweight, hairline receding and still not very motivated), that she realizes he might not be boyfriend material.

The show, via none other than the dream-ghost of Don’s dead brother, came out and basically explained to Don, and us, that a rotten tooth was a metaphor for Don’s soul or whatever. Roger unintentionally exposed Sally to “dirty” sex. Pete was punched in the face repeatedly, and everyone watching it with me cheered each time, even though the second face-puncher was a far greater monster than Pete could ever aspire to be. And as for Megan, I'm not saying she's a gold digger, but...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what hope do these characters have? More importantly, can we care what hope they have? Can we get ourselves worked up, for old times’ sake? For… nostalgia? For the good old days of 2007, a time before Skrillex, before the Ikea monkey, when people still sometimes gathered around the soft, forgiving glow of actual televisions, with loved ones— can we reach back to this place we ache to go again, and feel a twinge in our heart more painful than mere memory—\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sorry.

Given the pacing of the show, it’s safe to assume that Season 6 will take place in or around 1968.

It's more like a weird, sangria-esque soup of fruit and sugar, or a fruit salad drenched in whiskey and bitters.

If you aren't caught up on \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>, stop reading now.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m a huge fan of \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>, but lately I’ve had trouble feeling quite as excited as I probably should for this new season. Maybe I’m taking it for granted because it’s been on for so long, in contrast to something like \u003cem>Game of Thrones\u003c/em>, which is still new and exciting to me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or maybe it’s because the last season was so overtly damning to nearly every character: the agency of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce swallowed Pryce whole and prostituted Joan and drove out Peggy. The show, via none other than the dream-ghost of Don’s dead brother, came out and basically explained to Don, and us, that a rotten tooth was a metaphor for Don’s soul or whatever. Roger unintentionally exposed Sally to “dirty” sex. Pete was punched in the face repeatedly, and everyone watching it with me cheered each time, even though the second face-puncher was a far greater monster than Pete could ever aspire to be. And as for Megan, I'm not saying she's a gold digger, but...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what hope do these characters have? More importantly, can we care what hope they have? Can we get ourselves worked up, for old times’ sake? For… nostalgia? For the good old days of 2007, a time before Skrillex, before the Ikea monkey, when people still sometimes gathered around the soft, forgiving glow of actual televisions, with loved ones— can we reach back to this place we ache to go again, and feel a twinge in our heart more painful than mere memory—\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Like I said, a classic. Lee Pace and Anna Friel led the cast as Ned and Chuck, boy and girl respectively and were given stellar support by Chi McBride, Ellen Greene, Swoosie Kurtz and the Emmy winning Kristin Chenoweth in the best screen role of her career. As Ned used his powers reviving the dead to solve murders each week he entered one more nouveau-gothic-suburban art directed world after another and met characters so deliciously idiosyncratic you would have thought they were refugees from Preston Sturges films.

Like I said, a classic. Lee Pace and Anna Friel led the cast as Ned and Chuck, boy and girl respectively and were given stellar support by Chi McBride, Ellen Greene, Swoosie Kurtz and the Emmy winning Kristin Chenoweth in the best screen role of her career. As Ned used his powers reviving the dead to solve murders each week he entered one more nouveau-gothic-suburban art directed world after another and met characters so deliciously idiosyncratic you would have thought they were refugees from Preston Sturges films. I’d go put flowers on \u003cem>Pushing Daisies\u003c/em>’ grave but only in the hopes that a Carrie White hand comes bursting through the dirt.
