People tell me “Dexter” is by far the better show, but “Mad Men” won the top drama Emmy last Sunday. And, in a category “Dexter” wasn’t even nominated in, the top drama-writing honor. I didn’t watch “Dexter” last season; did the academy make at least two colossal blunders by giving statues to “Mad Men” that rightfully belonged to “Dexter”?

The two shows air back to back; what better night to compare?
