Mad Men.

Betty is slowly turning into Denise van Outen, isn't she?

Peggy and ____ getting it on. Nooooooo!

Cooper's comment went right over my head. I didn't realise he was referring to Don's past.

What a great episode - back to it's best I think: Mysterious, complicated, suspenseful and unexpected.

What Mad Men ultimately succeeRAB in doing is that it avoiRAB being a soap and instead portrays itself as high quality drama, something very rare in US TV series. Most US TV is total dumbed-down trash (and that's being kind), although The Wire and Mad Men just go to show what can be done when the Americans decide to try to treat their viewers with some intelligence. There's hope yet (but I fear this is probably just a welcoming blip) so make the most of it

I don't think it was anything to do with Bets giving him her hair (which would have been over a year ago in the story timeline). More likely he did that in response to his phone conversation with Sally, in an attempt to make the family move away per. her wishes.

Good to see that "Mad Men" has some nominations for the Golden Globes awarRAB on January 17th 2010.

January Jones, Jon Hamm have been nominated for Best Actor and Actress in tv Drama series. Also the show is up for Best Drama series.

I'm looking forward to the 3rd series, which should be aired next month in the UK.

Switched off after episode 5 because it didn't really seem to be going anywhere. I've wrote a detailed review of it here:

I think it still does. Which ones do you think are bigger?

The BBC has mainly untaxed guaranteed future-proof income from the licence fee and many other sources, and it has no shareholders to pay, so it has the largest net budget of any UK broadcaster. The last comparable figures for operating expenditure were

I think also Joan was mad because when she helped out on the TV campaign with Kinsey in the last season she thought maybe she would be promoted as she proved she was capable of more, but she was still ignored and kept as the office manager, she wanted to be promoted like Peggy, but never got it. I don't condone violence, but I was quite glad she hit him, I thought that he was going to hit her and he always dismisses and devalues her. He can't accept his wife is brighter than him, I hope she leaves him!

So what are the current BBC plans for Season 2, my Region 1 Lighter DVD Boxset Arrived this week and im itching for more in HD!

I don't think they'll be able to hire Sal while American Tobacco are their biggest account given the events surrounding his firing.

That said, they need an art department and he's too good a character for the show to lose!

Having been a teenager in the '60s, I can tell you that there was a world of difference between 1962 (pre Beatles) and 1970 (post Beatles). Between those 2 years western society's attitudes seemed to have been dragged through a dramatic social revolution or upheaval. And with women's lib and the medical evidence on smoking. just round the corner attitudes changed just as dramatically through the 70s.

Litlle wonder some 45 years on the world in 1962 seems rather weird or repressive, at least regarding people's behaviour anyway.
