Mad Men Gets PGA Nomination and Lands on "Best of" Lists

The Producers Guild of America has spoken -- and Mad Men is a nominee for the Norman Felton Producer of the Year Award for best drama. It's up against Boston Legal, Damages, Dexter and Lost. (Last year's winner was The Sopranos.) This is the first time Mad Men's been honored with a nomination from the PGA, which hands out its awards on January 24.
As the end of the year approaches, lists of the best shows on TV are popping up. Time Magazine ranks Mad Men at No. 2 on a list of the Top 10 TV Series, saying "The phenomenon of 2007 returned just as poignant and wry, and more complex than ever," as Season 2 "unfolded like a series of John Cheever short stories." And January Jones was cited for adding "layer upon layer to [Don] Draper's wronged wife Betty." Season 2's Episode 8, "A Night to Remember," came in at No. 9 on Time's list of Top 10 TV Episodes. In a "rich" second season, "this midseason episode was a great example of how the show broadened past last year's 'Who Is Don Draper?' conundrum to tell its whole ensemble's stories, particularly its women's," the magazine wrote, with important moments for Peggy, Joan and Betty.
Lastly, the AP includes Mad Men in a round-up of its top shows, calling Season 2 "a second brilliant display of Americana."
