Finally watched last week's Mad Men. What a great episode! When it ended, DW said, "I think this might be one of the most feminist shows ever on TV." I tend to agree - we get so many interesting women's storylines in MM. We also think Joan is The One that Roger mentioned.
I'm a big girl. Just tell me.

"I think this might be one of the most feminist shows ever on TV."
So not what I thought when I first watched it!
They are dealing with the asassination in an interesting way.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Did anyone watch White Collar? I thought it was kinda fun. Not Leverage fun, but charming. And Matt Bomer--I never got into Chuck or Traveler, but damn that man is a charismatic looker.
I am totally with ita on this. It's fun and, wow, I could look at him happily for a while. Add in the competence and banter and I am a happy Cass. Not the best tv EVAH, but fun. I like fun.

I confess I don't watch Mad Men, but am pleased for all y'all who love it.
While I suppose I should have waited until I have photographic evidence, I had to pop in and tell you how your show is permeating the zeitgeist.
Yesterday, at the "Howloween", where the denizens of the dog-friendliest neighborhood in the country gather to parade their pups in some of the cleverest and cheesiest costumes, the 'best disguise' trophy was nommed by our pal Uma. She's a white/brindle English Bulldog with a massive underbite. She was decked out in a pink blouse, pink boufy wig and pink cat-eye glasses, as a 1950's secretary.
While Uma was completely put out and surly over the indignation, the rest of us were delighted.
As soon as I saw her, I thought of this thread! I'll post a link as soon as the event page goes up.

Um, is Jane wearing a black dress? or a dress close enough to black to be tacky at a wedding in the 60's. I mean, it may be New York, but still.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That was intense. I always expect great things of this show, but I really thought they handled this week just right. They hit every note.

Weiner is a lying liar guy. What with his "we won't be dealing with the assassination". Heh. Interesting that Pete and Trudy were such Kennedy supporters.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Franken,
I was thinking the same thing. What a massive lie. He's been dealing with JFK's death all season and really covered it this episode.

There were some really great lines in this show (mostly to do with drinking, i.e. Why are you here? The bars are closed) But the one that really resonated with me was Peggy's line about there not being room for anyone else to feel anything.
