Mad Men Tomorrow at 10 p.m., AMC

The Sally Draper Fan Club meets here every week. She’s fabulous, don’t you think, with her lisp and her righteous anger? Go little Thally! She’s a baby boomer parent in the making, learning from her parents precisely what not to do when she has kids of her own. Betty treats her daughter poorly because she dislikes being a parent. She resents Sally for inhibiting her ambitions to be away from suburbia. Pictured: Betty Draper (January Jones), Don Draper (Jon Hamm), Sally Draper (Kiernan Shipka), and Bobby Draper (Jared S. Gilmore).

Saturday Night Live 11:30 p.m., Channel 7

Wow. Last week’s episode, with Ryan Reynolds, was pretty lame. Maybe doing the Thursday night half-hour episodes is sapping the writers’ already limited creativity? When Madonna and Lady Gaga were dancing together, I wasn’t sure if it was really Madonna - her face is getting so Madonna-mask-ish. Anyhow, tonight’s host is Drew Barrymore, with musical guest Regina Spektor (above).
