Well, I watched Episode 6, Maidenform, 3 times and I have numerous thoughts; however, my number one concern is, "What's going to happen to Chauncey?"...
My husband brought up a small point last night as we watched. Betty sits at the head of the table in the Draper household. Coincidence? Are there ANY ...
Linda, I was appalled by Duck's cavalier attitude towards Chauncey. I do not have a dog, but I hated to see him pushed out into the mean streets of NYC to...
Marlyn (Is it "Marlyn"?), Interesting - I would guess that most times, Don is absent for dinner, so that spot would be a natural place for Betty to sit. Or,...
I think that's probably true,  back then some--not all--men viewed the home as essentially the wife's domain to run.   But I think in Don's case, its...
These shows bear watching several times, for sure. I just watched it for the second time, and I always turn the closed captioning on, finding that the second...
Bob: That's Don all the way. Are you on the writing staff? ;-) Wonder if someday Weiner will have him undergo LSD treatments, like Cary Grant did? Derek ... ...
and i for one am looking forward to those altercations, because we know don will come out shining. i hope. Linda, I was appalled by Duck's cavalier attitude...
Every once in a while, the characters say something that sounds awfully contemporary ("Did they really say that, back then?"). Last night, Don said to Sally,...
Hi Derek:  You bring up so many good points here, its amazing how much they can pack into one episode, every second contains something important, if you...
the show really does need to be watched 3 times (or more). the first, for the entertainment value. 2) for the dialogue, and 3) for the visual effects. i...
LOL, but its true! The attention to detail is truly amazing, the third time I watched it I noticed a box of Ritz crackers on top of the refrigerator in...
I felt terribly for Chauncey too, till I realized Duck let him go on Madison Avenue, not somewhere in Battery Park, LOL. Some rich but lonely socialite will...
It seems that when they eat in the kitchen, she's at the head, but when they're in the dining room (with or without guests), he sits at the head. Maybe it's a...
Bob: If I'm not mistaken, I believe that scene with Don in the kitchen drinking milk took place after his phone call to Bobbie in the phone booth, where she...
Derek: Yes, Don is incapable of experiencing joy. The only time I see him with a tinge on life is when he is touching his kids. He is limited in his...
i truly believe i love Mad Men more than any other show i've ever watched. really! LOL, but its true! The attention to detail is truly amazing, the third...
lol, i hope so! that face. did you see HIS face? oh my! I felt terribly for Chauncey too, till I realized Duck let him go on Madison Avenue, not somewhere...
yes, i believe it was after the phone call. Bob: If I'm not mistaken, I believe that scene with Don in the kitchen drinking milk took place after his phone...
Hi Madonna: Well put! And that's why the show is built around him. He's absolutely the most interesting, complex character in the story. Side question, and a...
LOL! Linda, you caught me. On my second viewing, I actually wrote down some of my observations so I could do my duty as Owner/Moderator and post them on this...
no. ;-) Hi Madonna: Well put! And that's why the show is built around him. He's absolutely the most interesting, complex character in the story. Side...
well that's a good idea because there are just too many things going that shouldn't be forgotten and i know i've already forgotten many. LOL! Linda, you...
That's the point I was trying to make when the question of why we were more forgiving of Joan than of Pete--especially on the part of the men on the...
Could very well be, Bob. It would tie in with his telling Bobbie not to talk, and his freezing the very moment Sally says "I won't talk", as he's shaving. ...
Exactly, I thought the same thing.  ... From: Derek <realtorderek@...> Subject: [MadMenAMC] Re:Epi 6 - Maidenform To: MadMenAMC@yahoogroups.com Date:...
Yes, I think when Bobbie mentioned his 'reputation', he was shocked into recognizing the worst part of himself. You could see it in his expression. (God, he's...
Oops, I was composing when you were posting Derek. I guess we all agree then. (haha) J. From: MadMenAMC@yahoogroups.com [mailto:MadMenAMC@yahoogroups.com]...
