    Somebody please give these people an Emmy tonight!

    Tonight's presentation will be a repeat of "Three Sundays," a fine episode which we examined in our first edition of "Mad Men and the City." Check it out here and read more of our reviews here.

    In the meantime, let's hope "Mad Men" makes Emmy history tonight by becoming the first basic cable show to win for best drama. But as the Envelope points out, "Mad Men" "still faces an uphill battle both on and off screen. Emmy voters are notorious for shying away from period-based series, and the audience for the acclaimed show is small, even by basic cable standards."

    Hopefully that will change if the show takes home a statuette tonight. Here's to raising a celebratory drink at P.J. Clarke's or Sardi's!

    UPDATE: Drink up. "Mad Men" makes history!
