Woah, a bloodless alliance...

Music guys, please name that tune--

This is a great post - and what a flight-oriented lead-in tonight: Apollo 13!

MaPeel · 1 year ago

Some crazy-like foreshadowing of the Apollo program on AMC. WE are not there yet--

MaPeel · 1 year ago

Yes, our thoughts are about to take flight. The tipple of choice for this evening---rum and cola, with a hefty squeeze of fresh lime juice.

tomwatson · 1 year ago

Ah yes, culture in the suburbs - long may it prosper!

MaPeel · 1 year ago

This is a whole new side to the Cooperites---Peggy blowing off a guy because of lousey presentations skills. There's newfound power.

tomwatson · 1 year ago

Yeah, and another overhead shot - what's with that, this season?

tomwatson · 1 year ago

Wow an exterior of S&C - another sign of a "hit" budget!

tomwatson · 1 year ago

I knew that plane was going down - it's wikipedia 1962

MaPeel · 1 year ago

Well, that's the actual Flight 1, American Airlines out of Idlewild. All 95 on board were killed

tomwatson · 1 year ago

yeah read about it last week...

MaPeel · 1 year ago

I'm such an optimist---I only found the successful flights

MaPeel · 1 year ago

I don't know if Don should be mentoring anyone on being with the family . . .

tomwatson · 1 year ago

"There's life and there's work" - heavy.

MaPeel · 1 year ago

I like that Roger really knows Don, and tries to help him not commit career suicide

tomwatson · 1 year ago

Right, some actual character development - that is good.

tomwatson · 1 year ago

Who else is lurking - speak up!

James S. · 1 year ago

Check.

MaPeel · 1 year ago

Male bonding! Isn't this 10 years too early. Pre Alan-Alda. I don't think so--

MaPeel · 1 year ago

Family Day.

tomwatson · 1 year ago

I do remember sitting on the stairs on bridge night.

MaPeel · 1 year ago

Cutthroat Bitch wears her sixties very well. Wilson would be happy.

MaPeel · 1 year ago

Steed equates marriage with being overweight with a bad haircut. Funny that Betty thinks the cubby married neighbor is happy--

Teresa · 1 year ago

Not exactly helicopter moms.

MaPeel · 1 year ago

All right Pete!

tomwatson · 1 year ago

"...the kind where everybody has a summer house." - good line, followed by the dross of "take off your dress."

Teresa · 1 year ago

I liked that one too.

Teresa · 1 year ago

Any thoughts on what the conflict between Don & Duck is? I thought Don brought Duck in.

tomwatson · 1 year ago

Duck is old school, pure business, sell the accounts, cash the checks, make the numbers.
Don isn't exactly a revolutionary himself; but he does see the art of the sale, rather than just the numbers of the sale - and there are times when he's clearly in love with the "story" of the product - or, the brand. Agencies that did "branding" were new in the 60s. The old way was to make your dough by a % of the media buy.

Teresa · 1 year ago

Makes sense esp. In light of the scene with Don and the man from Mohawk.

MaPeel · 1 year ago

I think Duck came in when Roger had his heart attack, so it was possible he wasn't going to stay once Roger was back. I think Duck is supposed to be a real rainmaker---he's not on the creative side like Don, so he needs to be more cutthroat.

Time for a refill-

Teresa · 1 year ago

Hmm...

MaPeel · 1 year ago

Oh Pete. you little whore. If Don had opened his door to you, you probably wouldn't have done this---

Teresa · 1 year ago

Cold Pete.

tomwatson · 1 year ago

Yeah, at least Pete's making it interesting!

klg19 · 1 year ago

Maybe, maybe not. Pete's had a harsh relationship with his father all along, and his fatehr was contemptuous of his advertising career, as Pete tried to explain to Duck. And now Pete's not even going to get a cent from his broke father's estate. For Pete to use his father's death to further his own advertising career? Man, that is some sweet revenge.

On another front, I notice that Don no longer calls his wife "Birdie."

tomwatson · 1 year ago

The Latin mass - let Pat Buchanan rejoice!
But they've omitted the mantillas that the women would undoubtedly have worn.

MaPeel · 1 year ago

Ending with the communion rail and the grandson of Mr. Campbell. The plot does thicken, at its own pace.

MaPeel · 1 year ago

Time to return to the 21 century to get ready for the real work week. Good night everyone.

tomwatson · 1 year ago

Good night all - i enjoyed the episode, some real corporate plotting, some belief in the characters...

Bike Fitness Eve · 12 months ago

Wow, this is such a strong season.

Jean · 9 months ago
