Hi Hillary: I checked out the Mad Men site, can't figure out why they're jumping from Episode 1 tonight to Episode 4 next Thursday. They don't seem to have...
Yes, I hope its a mistake also. I think that Eps. 2 and 3 were very important in setting up the characters and situations for what was to come later on. Bob ...
Is it possible that since November is a sweeps month that they are rerunning only what they consider the best or most popular episodes? I tried to bring up the...
Yes, and it drives me crazy when they do that!! But most of the Law and Order episodes can stand on their own, you don't need to have seen the whole series...
You are right - it is not bright to skip episodes. We are living proof that you can miss important stuff the first time - even when you have seen them all in...
I have alerted several friends who live in different cities to watch the show, and now I find out it will not be played in succession! We were going to e-mail...
I get a daily briefing from the American Advertising Federation that includes a quotation from a member of their Hall of Fame. Today's quote seems to fit...
Yea, I finally saw Episode 1! I invited my husband to start watching with me and luckily for me (!), The Office came on at 8 instead of 7, so he graciously...
Clare - it's not your imagination. Episode 1 was filmed as a pilot in New York City a full year before the other episodes, which were then filmed in L.A. Nancy...
Very interesting interpretation! I took it as her being flattered that a big-city sales rep who just met her wanted her. Even though his remarks to her were...
I think it was a bit different because it was the pilot and they didn't know if it would get picked up. I totally noticed those same things about the outside...
I think Peggy and Don Draper are two sides of the same coin. They both are not what they seem. Peggy looks like an "Innocent" girl; she is a B&T, Bridge and...
Terrific observations! "Madonnamwayne", (or can we call you "Madonna"?) I'm guessing you're a baby boomer like many of us on this forum, then? Derek ... both...
Maybe now that the writers (barring any strike issues!) have another season, we'll get more backround story on Peggy. Perhaps they'll reveal even more...
Yes, Boomers are out there and still thinking, acting, and reading. Yes, call me Madonna, I turned to my husband after the show and asked him "What is Peggy's ...
Hi Madonna: I'm a boomer also and I can remember going to bars in NYC in the mid-late 60s, smoke factories as you call them. I agree with what you say about...
Yes, I think there are layers and layers of this onion to peel back to find each character's motivation. Of course, that is the real joy in watching it. I...
Maryln: I have been thinking about your quote from the American Advertising Federation, "If you have a good selling idea, your secretary can write the ad for...
Well, does anyone have any thoughts about Episode 4, or is everyone still bummed out that they skipped Eps. 2 and 3? madonnamwayne <madonnamwayne@...>...
TV Guide gave AMC a "Jeer" on its "Cheers & Jeers" column for re- running "Mad Men" out of sequence. As we all seem to agree in this group, running episode 4...
Hi Julie: Thanks for sending this, I read it and this certainly validates what we in this group have said. I hope the producers will take note of this coming...
Yes, after getting over the stupidity of watching episode 4 after episode 1, I do have some thoughts on the fourth episode. Manhattan is the star of this...
--After seeing New Amsterdam (Episode 4) once again, I was also struck by the competition across male generational lines. I think this is obvious in this...
I noticed too this time around Don's comment to Roger when they're drinking about his (Roger's) being comfortable with powerlessness which Don clearly isn't,...
What I noticed was the camera lingering on items to deliberately point out the authenticity to the period. The first thing that comes to mind was the record...
