Sorry, HBO, yet AMC has only won Sunday nights. Yeah, we similar to True Blood okay, as well as I’ll similar to Boardwalk Empire when it premieres. But unfortunately, those shows have been being placed upon my backburner — they’ll be my Monday afternoon DVR picks, not my Sunday night live picks. That’s since AMC is receiving over Sunday night with such ferocity which we can’t assistance yet consider which they’re waging a little wordless fight opposite HBO for all they’re worth.

Mad Men is premiering tonight, yet a week from tonight, AMC will have dual shows of a top description airing instead of only one. I’m articulate about their uncover Rubicon, which is carrying a two-hour premiere upon Aug 1, heading up to a second partial of Mad Men‘s fourth season.

Why dual hours? Well, a initial hour has already technically premiered, airing after Breaking Bad‘s array culmination behind in Jun (that partial is still giveaway upon iTunes, yet we can’t suppose it’ll stay around as well prolonged after Aug 1). The second hour of a premiere will be an additional episode, so which those of us who jumped upon a bandwagon early won’t jump over a premiere entirely. It’s a flattering intelligent selling devise upon AMC’s part, as well as we competence only watch both hours only to locate up.

I’ll have a examination of Rubicon‘s initial hour up a integrate of days before, only so those of we who have been land out can during slightest get an thought of either a uncover is any good or not (no surprise: it’s great). The show, which stars James Badge Dale (The Pacific) as an researcher during a inhabitant consider tank who discovers a swindling in a crossword puzzle, has a couple of moments of clunkiness yet is often genius. we haven’t seen NBC’s The Event yet, yet I’m starting to consider which there competence not even be a foe in between a dual swindling shows.

Rubicon premieres subsequent Sunday night, Aug 1, during 8/7c with a initial partial as well as 9/8c with a second. Tune in — it’s value a watch.
