5 The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, April 3, 2015 By Andrew Warren TV Media Saying goodbye: The 1960s are drawing to a close. "Mad Men," AMC's period drama set in the Swinging Six- ties, is finally ready to close the door on the decade — and on itself. The seventh and final sea- son premiered almost a year ago, but as is becoming more and more common in this de- cade, it had a lengthy mid-sea- son hiatus. The first of the final seven episodes premieres Sun- day, April 5, on AMC. It really is the end of an era. When "Mad Men" premiered back in 2007, its first episode brought in the best ratings that AMC had ever seen for an orig- inal series. Since then, the number of viewers has only gone up, and it isn't just audi- ences that love the show. Crit- ics love it, too, heaping acclaim on it since the beginning and awarding it four Golden Globes and more than a dozen Primetime Emmys. To recap: in the first half of season 7, subtitled "The Begin- ning," smouldering ad agent Don Draper (Jon Hamm, "The Day the Earth Stood Still," 2008) has had his life crumble around him. His wife Megan (Jessica Paré, "Hot Tub Time Machine," 2010) has left him and moved to the West Coast, and he's being forced out of the advertising agency that he's a partner in. It's bad times for such a strong man, but no one's ever said that the 1960s was an easy decade. The mid-season finale ended not long after what may be the most defining event of the '60s, when hu- mankind successfully landed on the moon, and against this backdrop of humanity's great- est triumph, the strong, un- breakable Don Draper finally broke down and nearly cried. Will Draper get his life back on track as both the '60s and "Mad Men" rush towards their conclusions? There's only one way to find out. The first of the final seven episodes of "Mad Men" premieres Sunday, April 5, on AMC. All in: To many, he stands as one of the greatest entertain- ers of the 20th century. Al- though he died in 1998, Frank Sinatra's name still commands respect and admiration amongst music lovers around the globe. This year marks Sinatra's 100th birthday, and HBO is cel- ebrating this milestone with a special four-hour, two-night event. "Sinatra: All or Nothing at All" premieres Sunday, April 5, and concludes the following evening. This is a closeup of the late performer's life, but it isn't your ordinary documentary. In 1971, Sinatra famously held a retirement concert in Los Angeles, and his song choices for that special concert will guide the narrative of "All or Nothing at All." Along with archived footage of interviews and insight from some of those who were closest to him, the concert footage will tell his life story as it's never been told be- fore. Of course, Sinatra fans will know that he wasn't a one- trick pony. He also had a suc- cessful acting career, winning an Academy Award and earn- ing nominations for several others. He may no longer be with us, but Frank Sinatra lives on through his mov- ies and music. Celebrate the 100th birthday of an icon Sunday, April 5, on HBO, with "Sinatra: All or Nothing at All."
