Not-So-Live-Blogging “The Grown-Ups”
Instant classic. We debated all season whether it would even get addressed. Not only was it, but the style, elements of surprise, self-reference, verisimilitude and historical accuracy were, er … dead-on. And now, made with milk, not water … Not-So-Live-Blogging “The ...

Don doll–WANT
lippsisters.com — Adorable, right? The photos were sent to me from Jared Isle, with the following explanation: We (DraftFCB) were tasked with promoting the third season of Mad Men here in New Zealand. We’re huge fan(atic)s, but the show is chronically low rated ... Don doll–WANT
Hammy lunch stuff
I have to say that this was such a relaxing experience. Yes, Jon is dazzlingly handsome; he has looks, presence, sparkling eyes, and the same deep voice that Rachel Menken found so reassuring. But I think I speak for all of us when I say that the starstruck quality was almost instantly gone, and ...

Mad About Gossip: January Jones @ GQ Men of the Year Party
WOW. Can we say gorgeous? Here is January Jones working the red carpet at GQ’s Men of the Year Party. If you remember, Jon Hamm actually made their number one list this year! He unfortunately didn’t attend, sadly, as he was occupied propositioning himself to Roberta. It’s okay ...

We had lunch today with Jon Hamm
So here’s how it happened. Many moons ago, approximately seven moons ago, we posted about a charity auction for the Adrienne Shelly Foundation. If you take a look at the comments on that post, you will notice one very interested seagirl. Seagirl, (whose name will remain seagirl through the ...

Mad News, November 14-19, 2009
I am unfamiliar with Counterforce, but it seems to be another witty blog doing Mad Men recaps. From House Next Door, a podcast on Shut the Door. Have a Seat. From Basketcase Judy S: Ten Suggested Hairstyles for Don Draper. EW asks if you miss Mad Men yet. Well, duh! Ask Multichannel’s Jon ...

Basket of Season 3 Interviews
This season has had us busier than ever at the Basket. Last year, we conducted the bulk of our interviews post-season. And we plan to continue speaking to people, in the long months ahead. But so far, just in the 13-week period that is the Mad Men season, we didn’t do too bad. So, to [...]

Mad Feminist News #7
Politics Daily loves the women of Mad Men. In a brilliant Salon screed about “aspirational” looks and body image, Kate Harding uses Peggy’s objection to the Ann-Margret Patio ad as an example. An article in the New York Times juxtaposes Mad Men with modern feminism, opening: ...

Betty in the parking lot
I really was trying to write this since before people started talking about it in comments. The Grown-Ups. Betty meets Henry Francis in the parking lot. It was my second viewing of the episode–from the opening shot of the scene it was suddenly looking very familiar. I believe it to be a ...

Shut the Door. Not Fade Away.
So, at the S3 finale party, my sister turned to me and said “It felt like the final episode of Angel.” The gathering together of people felt like the way that each member of Angel’s crew spent their last day as meaningfully as possible, and then gathered for the final ...

Bad Reception
Mad Men often accentuates the action in the stories with brief snippets of actual newspaper headlines, magazine covers, radio broadcasts and television clips from the period. Obviously, this is part of establishing a 1960’s feel for the show. But, these bits also often compliment the ...

To Work and to Love
I want to work. —Don Draper, Shut the Door. Have a Seat Freud defined sanity as the ability to work and to love. (I actually did some research on this saying for a book; some people think it’s apocryphal. Whatever.) Archie Whitman could neither work nor love. He was a cold, mean-spirited ...

January Jones plays beer pong
January Jones visited Late Night with Jimmy Fallon during a break in preparing to host SNL this weekend. In addition to promoting SNL and her latest movie, Pirate Radio, JJ faced off against Fallon at beer pong: She stuck around for the next guest, Pittsburgh Steeler Troy Polamalu (she’s ...

New! Improved! Mad Men Top 10!
Thirty-nine is the new 26. Eps, that is. Time to take stock, reevaluate, ruminate and marinate. I was tempted to make it a Top 15 or something, on account of there being, you know, so many good episodes. But 10 it shall remain. Some are up, some are down … some just are. Up? How could ...

Birthday kisses for Laura Ramsey!
November 14th is the birthday of Laura Ramsey, who played the seemingly free-spirited Joy in season two’s the Jet Set. In an episode that was kind of a dream sequence, Joy was a shining star of the dream. She’s got some great looking projects coming up, and we wish her success and ...
