Armchair critics, get ready: From Cookie vs. The Clone Club to Modern Family vs. Everything Else, these are the big upsets and moments to watch for tonight!
After seven seasons of cable television glory, AMC's Mad Men ended not with a bang but with a whimper. However, the series finale gave viewers an authentic, if unwelcome dose of reality. In real life, there are far more open endings than clean breaks and the final episode understates the incredible rarity of getting to say a proper goodbye.
