Me-TV is saluting the recently departed Annette Funicello by presenting four out of five episodes of her guest stint on Danny Thomas’
Make Room for Daddy sitcom in 1959. She played foreign exchange student Gina Minelli, a role that predated her first
Beach Party movie by four years. (That’s her, flanked by
Make Room for Daddy kid actors Rusty Hamer and young Angela Cartwright. For TVWW tributes to the former Mouseketeer, see Ed Bark’s
Uncle Barky’s Bytes and Bill Brioux’s
TV Feeds My Family.

After three days of play, Angel Cabrera (pictured) and Brandt Snedeker lead the pack at seven under par. Right behind them are three Australians, which is significant because no Aussie golfer has ever won the Masters. (Oy! Oy! Oy!) But Adam Scott (at six under par), Marc Leishman and Jason Day (at five under par) are right in the thick of it. Completing the first page of the leader board are two U.S. players, Matt Kuchar (four under par) and Tiger Woods (three under par). Tomorrow could be quite a day, when that green jacket finally is handed out.

It’s getting down to the election, and that’s not the only battle line being drawn in this episode. There’s one confrontation, for example, between Peter and Will – and they’re not talking politics. They’re talking Alicia.

SEASON PREMIERE: When this series began, Edie Falco’s character was defined by her addictions. Now, at the start of this season, she’s being redefined by the lack of them. Can Jackie play it straight? Perhaps, and perhaps not. But Edie Falco, by now, has proven she can play just about anything.

Last week’s season premiere ended with a surprise very similar to the twist that ended this series’ very first episode: Jon Hamm’s Don Draper going to bed with a woman we didn’t suspect. This time it was the doctor’s wife, played by surprise guest star Linda Cardellini – who’s come a long, long way from Freaks and Geeks. I expect to see more of her tonight, but with Mad Men, you can never tell.
