"Mad Men:" Your guess is as good as mine

(A toast to radio silence.)

For the first time, we didn't receive a "Mad Men" screener in time to discuss it in advance. That's the bad news. The good news is, I don't have to figure out how to discuss the show without accidentally revealing something that AMC's Powers That Be consider a spoiler.

At the "Mad Men" web site, they offer this synopsis for Sunday's episode:

"Father Gill convinces Peggy to contribute on a pro-bono church project. To win the business of a foreign beer brand, Duck and Don try to create market appeal to a new demographic. Harry is overwhelmed with the workload in his department and recruits assistance from an unlikely source."

After that, you're invited to click through to access more information on the episode, and get ... the exact same synopsis.

A friend (who's just as big a fan of the show as I am) writes, "I think your ribbing them about spoilers is appropriate - the show is hardly about the what - great art is all about the how - everybody knows that. How could they be so naive?"

Maybe FedEx just lost it. I got a FedEx package today with episode two of "Fringe," and Massive Dynamic had gotten to it in advance - the DVD was in pieces. (Well, that's one way to curb online piracy.)

- "Mad Men:" 10 and 11 p.m. Sunday, AMC.
