Summer TV 2010: What to watch, when to watch it

(AMC)

'Mad Men'

Premieres: Friday, July 25, 10 p.m., AMC.

Why we're watching: "Mad Men" made Emmy history by becoming the first basic cable series to win a best series award (for Outstanding Drama Series) in 2008 -- and then it repeated the feat again in 2009. The show has also nabbed five Golden Globes. With great writing, acting, visual style and a cast that's pretty easy on the eyes, we can't wait to see what Season 4 holds.
