TV Junkie: Weekend Edition
This weekend presents a dilemma. The big deal this weekend is the season premiere of "Mad Men" on Sunday at 10:00pm but this puts it in conflict with HBO's excellent "Generation Kill" which runs until 10:30pm but it repeats again at Midnight so that's probably the way out of this mess.
Also, this weekend the Tour de France concludes - the race will be decided (early) Saturday morning by a 53k/33 mile individual time trial. If that's what you're into it'll be a nail biter. Sunday, the race arrives in Paris for its typical sprint finish.
