    Too much budget...

    I just watched last week's episode, and the agency stories were great. Do I are about Don and Betty's phony marriage? Naw.

    Testing, testing. Dusting off the live-blogging cobwebs.

    Okay Tom, are we going to have the Titanic discussion? The film came out in 1958--surely the good Fr. and Peggy would hear that echo.
  • tomwatson · 1 year ago
    Yeah no question they would - you should be happy the so-called "Catholic" plot line is back - plenty of snark material

    Did he just say Maytag is "very sensitive to Calvinism???""

    Roger never looked more like Larry Tate than in this classic Bewitched entertaining-the-client dinner scene.
  • tomwatson · 1 year ago
    Larry Tate wore the befuddled look brilliantly - how cool would it be if Betty wiggled her nose? She'd be a lot more interesting.

    I like Duck - guilty confession. Indeed, I'm enjoying the S-C ensemble.

    I'm slightly distracted tonight by the financial Armageddon unfolding on Wall Street...
  • MaPeel · 1 year ago
    Don't you bring no reality into the Mad Men zone Tom. Drink a Manhattan until the urge to care about real life goes away, just like Don.
  • tomwatson · 1 year ago
    Don never seems to worry about that bottom line...
  • MaPeel · 1 year ago
    Pro bono "clients." The reason never to volunteer--
  • tomwatson · 1 year ago
    Tell me about it!
  • MaPeel · 1 year ago
    Woa--Betty speaks! Betty finds the words she has needed to say for a long time. Pretty big character development.

    Joan's got a future in television!
  • MaPeel · 1 year ago
    LOVE the Maytag guys.
  • tomwatson · 1 year ago
    Yeah...the ad business is actually getting better - they listened to what we said here last year, obviously.
  • tomwatson · 1 year ago
    Hey, that's St. Patrick's across the street from Roger's office!
  • MaPeel · 1 year ago
    I hope Joan finds her voice about this---
  • tomwatson · 1 year ago
    The singin' priest...
  • James S. · 1 year ago

    Well, it was a night to remember for Don---the night that Betty finally put it all together and said NO.

    The rest of the episodes will be Don rearranging those decks chairs---

    One of their best episodes, I thought. The Joan development - her talent, her high business value, the trigger of insecurity in her fiance, the
    gross stupidity in hiring that young guy to do "her" job...boy, I hope they play this out well. It's rich material. Joan needs to head up the TV Department before this is over. --- Betty working up a sunrise sweat, beating the crap out of a chair, and slopping around in her wonder bread party dress... I liked it.
