'Mad Men' Marathon Sunday on AMC

The hype for Mad Men has been out of control, and it’s only been augmented by its recent Emmy nomination haul (not to mention my own gushy praise). Still, amidst all the buzz (which kicked up a notch a few months ago with cover stories on Entertainment Weekly and The New York Times Magazine), the show hasn’t been terribly easy to find. Sure, it’s been released on DVD, and people with On Demand can download episodes, but you’d think with the season two premiere approaching on July 27th, AMC would have been running the season nonstop for the past three weeks to get as many people hooked as possible. But they haven’t, which is sort of their loss (I guess they’re looking to drive DVD sales).
The good news, however, is that tomorrow (Sunday, July 20th), AMC will be airing the entire season in marathon form, starting at 12 PM EST. It’s worth checking out — or at least Tivoing. Thirteen hours will never go by so quickly.
