More Mad Men is coming! AMC has declared Sunday, Aug. 16 to be the premiere date for season three. Also, if you've never seen the pilot, it's now available for free online viewing. And if you missed season two, there will be a marathon of all 13 eps, running from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., on the Sunday preceding the season-three premiere.

We just talked to Mad Men star Jon Slattery last night about season three. When asked if we should be afraid for our Mad friends—seeing as how the British are coming (a U.K. firm bought out Sterling Cooper at the end of last season)—Slattery said, "You should be very afraid. I am." Could this mean curtains for Slattery's debauched Roger Sterling?! "I hope not," said Slattery. "My name's still on the building." What else can Slattery say about season three? "It will be better than ever." Damn straight!
