What will we do without "Mad Men"? What will we watch? Luckily, it's sweeps month, so TV in November is going to be full of juicy highlights. "20/20" grabbed the first strong interview, with pop star Rihanna sitting down with Diane Sawyer. At least that will distract us for five minutes...
Friday, November 6
What: “20/20”
When: 10 p.m. ET/PT on ABC
Why: On February 8, 2009, singer Rihanna was involved in a dramatic domestic abuse situation with her then boyfriend, Chris Brown. But we don’t even have to tell you that because that story rocked the news for weeks on end. Now, Rihanna is sitting down with Diane Sawyer to talk about that night, and her relationship with her ex-boyfriend. She also talks about being a role model for other young women, growing up in Barbados and her family life. Oh, and she's got a new album to promote—what a coincidence.
Check out ABC's preview of the Rihanna interview:
Also on Friday: “Smallville” at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the CW; “Ugly Betty” at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC; “The Jay Leno Show” at 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC; “Crash” at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Starz.
Saturday, November 7
What: “The Wanda Sykes Show”
When: 11 p.m. ET/PT on Fox
Why: Wanda Sykes has stolen scenes in everything from “Crank Yankers” to “The New Adventures of Old Christine,” and now she’s getting her very own talk show. Sykes' quick wit and sharp humor should make for an entertaining show, as she covers everything from politics to entertainment.

What: “Mad Men”
When: 10 p.m. ET/PT on AMC
Why: Season three of “Mad Men” comes to a close this Sunday. In the finale, Don has a meeting with Connie, Betty gets some advice and Pete talks to his clients. That’s all we’re going to tell you because it’s the finale of probably the greatest show on TV right now and you should just watch it!
