How about a Wednesday linkspam?

[next_to_normal]

Happy Wednesday, boys and girls. My mother asked me for restaurant recommendations near Times Square for this weekend. I tried to send her to Guy Fieri's new place, hoping to see if it was as bad as this review makes it sound, but alas, she has discovered The Google and checked it out for herself and will probably never trust my restaurant recommendations again.

* Mad Men season 6 has a premiere date (April 7) and some spiffy promo pics. Also, ten incredibly vague and kind of obvious facts about season 6, because Matthew Weiner hates spoilers but TV writers need something to talk about.

* Lots of new shows in the works for next season. Obviously not all of them will make it to series (THANK GOD. Some of those pilots sound dreadful), but I was intrigued to see that Delirium is being made into a TV show. I read and reviewed the book a while back and quite liked it (it's actually the first in a trilogy). Also, I thought there already WAS a US version of Gavin and Stacey? Did I make that up?

* If, like me, you've been meaning to catch up on Classic Who, BBC America will be airing one complete serial for each incarnation of the Doctor. Granted, most of the series is already on Netflix, but this might be good motivation for me to actually watch it instead of letting it languish in my queue. Also, new Doctor Who episodes start March 30.

* In honor of the dramatic drop in temperature in DC this week, two snow and ice links: The People vs. Winter (hilarious) and a Chicago warehouse completely encased in ice (incredible and kind of terrifying).

The only show out of that entire article that sounds honestly interesting is adaptation of the graphic novel The Sixth Gun, a supernatural Western about “six mythical guns, each with its own otherworldly powers.” Mostly because western fantasy intrigues me. And yeah, most of the pilots sound absolutely dreadful.
