Mad Men season 5

I dare you to go to rEFCL and say that!

Srsly, I've been watching the reruns on Sunday mornings for months now in anticipation. There are so many shows on Sunday night now, I'll be watching them for the next 3 days.

OMG SQUEE HOW WILL DON SCREW UP THE IMPROMPTU ENGAGEMENT? AND WILL BETTY BE JSUT AS BIG A BITCH IN RYE? AND WILL CARLA COME BACK AND SMOTHER BETTY IN HER SLEEP I HOPE? AND WILL JOAN'S PREGNANCY BOOBS CAUSE THEIR HIGH RISE BUILDING TO SWAY?
 
Betty's maid, who basically raised the Draper kids from birth but was unceremoniously fired before Betty & Henry & the kids moved to Rye. Carla allowed the weird fat boy in the house to say goodbye to Sally, which made Betty even more insane than usual.
 
I hope the show is good, because the producers demands for a bigger budget is what caused the budget cuts on the Walking Dead.
 
That's not what happened with Mad Men -- AMC were the ones demanding big budget CUTS for season 5, which would have meant drastically reducing the cast and adding an insane amount of product placement, which would have kind of ruined the storytelling. Most people think creator Matt Weiner is a douchebag, but in this case he probably saved the show from sucking by waiting it out and standing his ground.

BTW, it was real good IMO.
 
But wouldnt you say if AMC had a set amount of money for the three shows it produces, by refusing a budget cut (good for him, good for his show) it affected the budgets for the other two?

Its supposed to be the reason Frank Darabount left TWD.
 
I didn't watch it. And I think partly on purpose. It's been gone so long, I'm just not as hyped up about it as I normally am. I'm sure it was awesome.
 
It was awesome!

The best thing about Mad Men is the characters, in that they're all awesome. Even the child actors - especially the child actors.

Also Jessica Paré. A thousand times Jessica Paré.
 
That was some good, sexy, awkward French singing.

I didn't really miss Betty at all.

I guess Bert just decided to come back after quitting last season?

The part where the guy on the train said he'd be dead before Christmas and then Pete looked out the window seemed a bit ominous.

It was a good return.
 
"Is it just me, or is the lobby full of negroes?"

Best scene for me was Joan's visit to the office with the baby, and how incresingly awkward everyone got around it.
 
NOT ENOUGH SALLY

That girl is gorgeous.

I loved how awkward Pete looked when he saw Peggy with the baby. "What's this?" LoL.

That's how I clean my house.

I love Lane, but his wife needs to stop having surgery. Embeth Davis was in Army of Darkness, and she doesn't even look like that anymore.

ANNIE'S BOOBS
 
Hey MAD MEN was on last night too remember Mad Men?

I like how Don is slowly but surely learning just how out of touch he is with modern youth culture. Back in season one he was in a different social class as the hippies that girl he was sleeping with hung out with, but now he's looking at the next generation and not really liking what they are! Interesting how the girl he was talking to at the Rolling Stones concert would only be a few years older than Sally (if we're assuming Sally is like 12ish and the girl was mid-to-late teens).
 
I think the Pete/Roger feud is getting a little ridiculous. I think something really bad is going to happen to Pete fairly soon to knock him down a peg. Is this whole season going to be about Don and Roger sitting around wondering what happened to this nutty world while everyone else sails by them?

I love how Matt Weiner figured out how to take a swipe at Mitt Romney all the way from 1966. Mitt's father was governor of Michigan at the time, and they had Henry call Romney a "clown" while talking to someone on the phone!
