MAD MEN | 8 p.m., AMC | A smart drama set in an advertising agency in 1960, from one of the writers of “The Sopranos.” It’s about how media manipulation runs the world; also the hard-driving smoking, drinking, womanizing men of Madison Avenue and the women who are objectified by them. This series deserves to put AMC on the map in a new way.

ACE OF CAKES | 8 p.m., FOOD | The new season opens at the busiest time of year for bakers: wedding season. A five-tier job for a staff member is the order of the day.
