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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Not really January Jones, but Betty Draper. And I really don’t want her life, entirely too dramatic for me, but I somehow love January/Betty, and even when she’s just having a casual cigarette in the kitchen waiting for the children, she’s so flipping cool. She’s hands down the classiest, most dramatic housewife of all time. [...]
