Most Mad Men maniacs (including yours truly) have been waiting on pins and needles to find out if Don and Megan will make it or not. Did Joan keep the baby? Did her husband find out it was Roger’s? Is Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce going to stay afloat? And most of us thought we would [...]
Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner seems to be especially fond of symbolism and he gave us some great examples during season four. Here are a couple of my favorites from this year: 1. Betty at the child psychologist’s office – Betty Draper, who is not known for her self-awareness, decides that Sally, her 10-year-old daughter, [...]
Compared to previous Mad Men seasons, season four was a window into a somewhat kinder Don. After his divorce from Betty, he seemed to have become a little more aware of others’ feelings, especially his children and his own. He even began keeping a journal to try to sort out his own thoughts. Unfortunately, he [...]
Joan (played by Christina Hendricks, left) had quite a year on the show during season four. She ended last season as the secretary in the newly-formed Sterling Cooper Draper Price, but was promoted this past year to Director of Agency Operations and received her own office. Long overdue, because that agency would not function without [...]
Season four was a dramatic shift in the direction of Mad Men. The show, which had up until then, focused on Don Draper’s slow descent into drunkenness and the crumbling of his marriage to wife Betty, started this season by looking at Don’s newly-single life. He tries to get back into the dating scene, but [...]
In case you’re not caught up and you want to get the basics leading up to this final episode of Season 4 of Mad Men, here are is a quick recap. During this season, Don has taken a turn in his life. He still seems hopelessly out of control (yet seemingly even more creative). This [...]
I can’t remember when Season 3 of Mad Men ended. I know I sort of filled my time with episodes of Breaking Bad, but beyond that it has been a relatively long summer, devoid of the painfully cool episodes depicting 1960′s admen drinking, smoking and screwing around. The good news, season 4 starts Sunday, July [...]
This is probably one of the most unexpected scenes I’ve witnessed in tv. It was so great, even laugh out loud-a-ble. This link is from a YouTube post. I could not get the feed from the original AMC Madmen post. 5 stars and so glad that now days we have all those safety guidelines at [...]
Duck. I mean really…gross. But on the other hand, Pete, please get out from under him. He’s such a control freak idiot. Peggy, I want you to experience love and appreciation, but standards, cmon girl get it together. You are such a great girl. Don’t let those madmen mind games play you like that. Did [...]
I just got some disappointing news. Not only did Mad Men not win every category they were nominated for, they just got beat by TravelZoo for best Twitter community. What REALLY got me was when I realized I (a self-proclaimed Madmeniac) wasn’t even following Mad Men on Twitter. Run through this with me… Here is [...]
