Dear Mad Men/The O.C. mash-up: Please Pinocchio yourself. Become a real boy. Give us a season of Don Draper going full Ryan Atwood, give us stoner Megan, give us not one but two Seth Cohens in Ted Chaough and Stan Rizzo. Roger can be Sandy (with a dash of Jimmy Cooper). Everyone goes to Tijuana. The path to convergent plot points has been cleared and mulched — long-distance relationships! Dissolution of wealth! A character attempting to escape his hard-luck family and humble beginnings! Welcome to SC&P, bitch.
