Sarah Silverman's third season seems laced with pop culture riffs — but Sarah Silverman will try to convince you otherwise. ''I am nine months pregnant in one episode and have a baby,'' she reveals. ''I'm in denial about it.'' So she's spoofing Mad Men's baby denier Peggy, right? ''No! But I love Mad Men.'' So how does she explain an episode that finds her and best pal Brian (Brian Posehn) solving crimes while stoned (à la summer hit starring Seth Rogen and James Franco)? ''Pineapple Express didn't exist when we wrote this!'' Silverman insists. ''Besides, our show's just retarded.'' Okay, then.
