The show was a little slow but considering how the developement of season one went not unexpected. I actually found a great deal of material to ponder and...
Hi..I'm Tracy and new to this group. I became a fan of MM when they showed the season 1 marathon a few weeks ago.? I was hooked immediately.? With a theater...
Hi Tracy, A big WELCOME to the group! Glad to have you here, and we look forward to hearing more of your thoughts about the show. Your fellow Madster, Derek ...
Sorry for the delay in posting my thoughts on last Sunday's season two premiere. But, better late then never so here goes... Loved the opening sequence with...
Episode Preview: Paul hosts a party at his apartment and introduces someone special to his Sterling Cooper colleagues. Peggy visits her family for dinner. ...
Hi Anna: Great observations. One thing: I'm all for Betty re-gaining her confidence, but I can't shake that last week's setup was kind of ominous. She's still...
Hi Derek:  I think cross-racial dating was just beginning in '62, but I don't think it was widespread, at least not in the CT suburbs of NYC. I was only...
Derek, ITA about Betty. There is something eerie about her. She gives the impression of sophistication but there is no emotional growth beyond the teen...
Factoid: American Airlines Flight 1, registration N7506A took off from Idlewild Airport (now John F. Kennedy International Airport) on March 1, 1962. The...
Hi Derek:  I thought this episode had alot more substance to it than last week's, last week was more like a teaser.  Yes, Peggy's resolution of...
Hi Bob: Good call on Don and Peggy. I think it was Adam on this list who pointed out they seem to be the male/female versions of the same person. Your dad was...
Hi Derek:  Yes, I think Adam made that point about Don and Peggy, both wanting to break free of the pasts they were born into.  They must be prototypes for...
Any guess what Peggy's sister meant when she said something like, "The state of NY didn't think so..." After Peggy said she makes her own decisions. After...
Hi Hill: Thanks for the link to the AV Club - didn't know about it, and read some interesting comments (and snarky comebacks!). I wonder if back then a...
I got a chuckle out of this scene too.? I thought, well at least she has a future as a bartender someday ;) I am enjoying the 180 degree turn Betty's character...
Hi Bob, Yes, the theory (and it remains a theory) is that both British and American intelligence knew the attack was coming (Japanese codes were broken)....
I think Don got a big kick out of Betty's card game dominance, LOL. I think she's offering some biting comments, aimed at Don: "I don't need a book to tell me...
Good point Derek. I think she is definitely using her son's behavior as a way to passive aggressively communicate w/ Don about his cheating (whether they...
In response to the bit about the state preventing you from giving up a child for adoption, that would not be so. It has always been the parental right to...
... No, neither a dr nor authorities would even attempt to encourage an unwed mother to keep the baby. In fact, there would more likely be encouragement for...
From someone who was actually born in 1963, I'm enjoying reading about these factoids as they relate to the 60's.?? During my viewing of the Season 1 marathon,...
yes, merg.atroyd, you are right. Girls who became pregnant were shipped to one of these homes to finish their pregnancy and then the child was placed for...
You're right, it was a different world back then.  I might be wrong, but I seem to recall Peggy saying in last week's episode that she was only 22, it was...
Hi Derek:  Thanks for that information, I guess I'm relieved to hear that its still just a theory, even though there is alot of circumstantial evidence. ...
I thought it was Paul, too - and I think Joan knew it was him. The other girls in the office know better than to cross Joan! ... From: "tracoll@..."...
Madonna said: "Strong societal pressure guided individuals to marry and then give birth, with two parents. Unlike today when women have children without ...
The AV club is the only place I go to for reviews. The comments usually make me truly laugh out loud! A very intelligent and silly bunch. ... From: Derek...
FYI: A minor is someone under the age of 18, not 21. When a girl gives birth under the age of 18 she is still the one who signs the adoption papers, and she...
Hi Hill, Movies: "Knocked Up", "Baby Mama", women gets pregnant and male figures are adolescent in emotional maturity. In other words, child-like. I have to...
I think Pete went to Don to seek out his counsel on the matter of American Airlines contract meeting. Previously Don told him how to act the proper way for...
