"Chuck" alum Sarah Lancaster stars in Lifetime's newest original movie, "The Preacher's Mistress." Rife with all the drama a title like that suggests, Lancaster's character Gwen Griffith deals with many more problems than Ellie and Awesome ever had to deal with during the entire run of "Chuck."
In the new movie, Lancaster plays a single mother trying to get through her day-to-day while raising her son Alex. It doesn't help that her mother Ellen is constantly trying to match Gwen up with various men in the hopes she can find love. But Gwen can barely balance work, her son and the online classes she's taking until she meets her seeming Mr. Right, Ed Baker (Drew Waters), though he of course comes with a catch.
For Gwen, that catch means some major bad news. It turns out Ed is the preacher at a popular church and married with kids. Not a...

Warning: You're entering a Mad Men Spoilertown.
Last night's Mad Men, "Christmas Waltz" was mostly devoted to Joan Harris (I'll get to her in a sec) and Lane Pryce, who engaged in a little holiday thievery to cover up a tax evasion charge back in Britain. He walks into Crane's office and asks for media projections; they look good but Crane explains it's sort of wishful thinking. Lane uses them at the bank anyway and gets $50k in advance credit for Scdp -- now he's just got to come up with a reason to get his hands on a piece of that money...
Okay remember Edwin Baker? The Jaguar guy that went out with Draper, Campbell and Sterling then got busted by his wife for having gum on his naughty-bits? (Roger calls him "Bazooka Joe.") Yeah that guy. That morning Campbell says they're back in the running for Jaguar because Baker was fired.

Veteran actor Jared Harris shined this weekend, appearing in both AMC's Mad Men and Fox's Fringe as two very different characters. I'm taking a nerd moment here and gushing -- how delightful is he as Lane Pryce? He's pulling double duty right now as Pryce and David Robert Jones on Fringe -- an ill-fated show that used to be good but now is only worth watching so you can see Harris play the super cool villain again. He's been a prominent character throughout this season -- to the point that it makes the hard-to-follow "alternate-alternate universe" plot-line worth it just because it brought Jones back from the dead. He's back to try and destroy the universes again -- the show's still vague on his motivation, but the Other Side's team finally uncovered that their Lt. Broyles' been working with Jones to help end the world so Broyles can save his son.

Mad Men, Season 5, Episode 5: “Signal 30″
Written by Frank Pierson & Matthew Weiner
Directed by John Slattery
Airs Sundays at 9pm (Et) on AMC
It was always going to be tough following up the brilliance of “Mystery Date”, however the teleplay produced for this episode is probably of even higher quality. Although more explicit in its messages and use of symbolism, “Signal 30″ seems to proffer that punishment will follow one’s refusal to conform.
This week there is a strong focus on Pete, who encapsulates this idea most powerfully, though not solely. Mad Men often delivers wonderfully textured episodes with such density to them and great complexity to its layers, and there is no aberration this time, as the message of heeding to conformity is explored across the multiple characters’ stories.
“Signal 30″ opens on Pete in the midst of viewing the driver safety film, Signal 30. Unwittingly, the film forewarns Pete to conform to safety,...

This week’s Mad Men opened in a driver’s ed classroom as Pete and some other students watched gory footage of auto accidents. The scene was an apt set-up for a John Slattery-directed episode in which the life of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce’s youngest partner was much like a car crash itself: bloody, likely to injure innocent bystanders, and yet mesmerizing in its horror. But Pete’s existential crisis was our Sunday evening entertainment, so let’s hit the gas on this puppy!
