Not to mention that Bewitched, with a main character working in an ad agency (that figured in a number of episodes!) premiered in the fall of 1964.
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Another big cultural moment for the '64 season: Cassius Clay. We just ran into Floyd Patterson in the gambling joint with a brief scene about whether he's about to lose the heavyweight title; in about a month and a half, he's going to lose the title to Sonny Liston in the first round.
Liston meets Clay in February of 1964, so if it's true that we'll keep seeing every other year for more-or-less the calendar year, I'm calling it now. (And I can even guess who's going to win the big fight).

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Oooh, was I was watching that scene, I thought to myself, I wish I knew boxing history better because this could be significant later. Thanks for the mini-lesson.

I'll admit that I had to turn to wikipedia for the exact dates -- but, yeah, Clay is just the kind of 1964 cultural moment we were talking about, and, of course, set to be an even bigger deal later in the 1960s.

Well then, thanks for doing the Wikipedia work that I intended to do, but forgot. Clay came to my mind in that moment as well.

MI-5 series 6 is coming out on dvd on January 20th.
(BTW, did you guys hear that MI-6 is recruiting via facebook? I think I heard that on the Rachel Maddow show.)

Just saw the latest Mad Men (instead of the debate). Nothing new to add, but I love this show.

Me neither.
Oddball episode for me. All about the isolation of everyone. Or maybe about the different facades. Can't decide.
Was that the same actress playing Glen's mom?
