16! It's Mad!

What a good day for basic cable! Today, AMC's Mad Men (watched every minute) and FX's Damages (never heard of it!) became the first two basic cable series to EVER be nominated for the Emmy's drama series category. CONGRATS MAD MEN! Not only did you make history but you got 16 nods! So happy about your upcoming season 2 premiere on July 27th!
