Premiere this coming Sunday!

Saw this and found it quite interesting.

Left Peggy on her first day working for Don, Right Peggy on her last.

Jon Hamm's dick was a big (heh) deal all last week.

Hamm was on the "You Made It Weird" podcast last week. Every time I hear him interviewed I think "What a normal guy".

I've tried to get into Mad Men but it hasn't grabbed me the way that other shows and series that Mad Men aficionados enjoy. Is it too cerebral for me?

I had to force myself through the first 4 episodes of the first season. Almost gave up on it then. When the 5th episode took off, I was hooked.

I gave up after four. Should have held on for just one more, huh?

Yes, Wilson-Phillips. You should have.

Tonight at nine edt. TV Sunday continues, despite the absence of The Walking Dead.

It doesn't feel the same without trying to make sense of the last five minutes of The Killing.

Here's a dumb question, but was it really the Super Bowl then? I thought it took a couple of years before they called it that. And did people care about the ads?

Rush2112 · Post by **Rush2112** » Sun Apr 07, 2013 8:53 pm

We think it's 1969 (Sally being ~15 and she was born in 1954)

Rush2112 · Post by **Rush2112** » Sun Apr 07, 2013 8:54 pm

WTF Betty? (and Ginsberg's 'stache is awesome.)

Rush2112 · Post by **Rush2112** » Sun Apr 07, 2013 9:01 pm

1968 Super Bowl II

Sorry about the dupe. If a mod wouldn't mind merging the threads.

Done. It seems to have worked.

Stan's beard is better. That's some Grizzly Adams stuff working there....

And Betty is all kinds of twisted. That stuff about holding that girl's arms down while Henry rapes her? Who the fuck thinks like that?

And were we supposed to know who the Violin girl was? Did I miss something?

Did anyone else catch who was playing Jonesy the Doorman? It was Little Carmine Lupertazzi, from The Sopranos.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 7:45 am

She was new to the show--a friend of Sally's whose mom had just died. I guess the Francis clan took her in.

I was wondering all last year why they didn't have Betty choke on a Twinkie. I'm still wondering.

Rush2112 · Post by **Rush2112** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 8:26 am

You notice who was playing the doctor's wife?

Lisa Cardenelli.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Tue Apr 09, 2013 7:57 am

I think the file I downloaded cut off early. It ended during the scene with Peggy talking to the dude on the phone after he discloses that he heard her conversation with her boss.

That was at an hour and 26 minutes when you subtract all commercials. Did I miss anything after that? Some recaps mention some stuff I don't remember seeing.

FredRomero · Post by **FredRomero** » Tue Apr 09, 2013 8:23 am

you missed some good stuff.

Rush2112 · Post by **Rush2112** » Tue Apr 09, 2013 9:10 am

Allusions to Dante's inner ring for one.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Tue Apr 09, 2013 9:13 am

I can't wait to see who Don mails a copy of Inferno to.

howard · Post by **howard** » Tue Apr 09, 2013 1:08 pm

…and footage of the village in Vietnam that was burned to the ground. By the gold Zippo lighter.

Jeez. Even a couple files I redownloaded were the same length. I guess I'll have to keep searching.

Top shelf ep tonight. "You know, we're losing the war." There's your theme for the season.

Trudy's speech was excellent.

(and man does Pete out kick his coverage.)

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Sun Apr 14, 2013 10:47 pm

It's the sideburns.

howard · Post by **howard** » Sun Apr 14, 2013 11:25 pm

Don is such a dick. Give a man a camera, fuck his wife. Pete fucks a housewife on his block, Don one-ups, fucking his downstairs neighbor.

I had no idea New Orleans DA Jim Garrison appeared on Carson in Jan '68. Pueblo seizure, Tet, busy January. What a friggin' year.

Wow. Great episode.

howard · Post by **howard** » Sun Apr 21, 2013 10:22 pm

Thought I was gonna get to the end of an episode w/o saying "Don Draper is Such a Dick!"

Close, but not quite.

Here is an article about the nightclub Joan and her sister went.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Mon Apr 22, 2013 6:38 am

What's the deal with Ted McGinley being married to girls on screen that like being with other girls? Weird. I damn near lost it when Don made this face:

And that poor little flake Meredith! More laugh out loud moments from her.

How's about that club scene too? I'm going to have to read that article, Howard. Thanks for the link.

And we can't forget this all time great Pete Campbell moment.

I wonder if that was scripted, or if the actor just fell down during the shoot, and they decided to keep it in.

DaveInSeattle · Post by **DaveInSeattle** » Tue May 07, 2013 7:17 am

Another great moment from last night....
