When did he get to set it all up, though?

During the whole booby-trap setup period? It didn't occur to me it would be any other time.

What setup period? After grabbing the cig & matches, they ran off into the woods and didn't get back to the camp until they were captured. What did I miss?

They had a period where they were sitting around and whittling and setting up traps. I figured they'd snuck back to camp and set up the fuse in that window and then gotten themselves captured.

I can buy that!

Draper as the face of the agency started in the gap time -- there's a reason Ad Age was profiling him, and not the agency or anyone else.

"John and Marsha" was the first single (released in 1951) by Stan Freberg. It was a goof on soap operas and consisted of two actors saying each other's names over and over in different tones of voice in a way that created a melodrama. Later in the 50's Freberg revolutionized advertising by injecting humor into what until then had been all about the hard sell.

That's so interesting!

Yeah, but I think for the first time, he's really owning it and I think that's what the end cap interviews were meant to showcase.

Side note on Made Men: I think it's purposeful that they opened the season with Betty being a shitty mom, and person. Because the arc of her character has to go somewhere and it's going to go away from this point. Weiner is not interested in two-dimensional villains, and he's shown sympathy towards Betty before. She's going to have to realize how unfulfilled she is as a mother and wife. We've had hints of what she can be.

Betty Friedan is waiting for her. The Feminine Mystique was already published in 1963. This is the season where she has to change, instead of just changing her marriage.

Friedan was inspired to write The Feminine Mystique after attending a class reunion of her 1942 Smith College graduating class. At the reunion, she sensed that her fellow alumnae felt a general unease with their lives. She followed up the reunion with a questionnaire sent to the other women in her class. The results of the questionnaire confirmed Friedan's impressions. In interpreting the findings, Friedan hypothesized that women are victims of a false belief system that requires them to find identity and meaning in their lives through their husbands and children. She believed that such a system causes women to completely lose their identity in that of their family.

Friedan specifically locates this system among post-World War II white middle-class suburban communities. She suggests that men returning from war turned to their wives for mothering. At the same time, America's post-war economic boom had led to the development of new technologies that were supposed to make household work less difficult, but that often had the result of making women's work less meaningful and valuable.

So, I was listening to David Bianculi talk about the good summer shows on Fresh Air the other day, and I'm all offended that he didn't even mention White Collar! And he only named Leverage in passing. And he named a LOT of shows. Boooo.

Jesse, call in and yell at him for leaving out two of the best shows!

Too bad it aired last week, and it's not a call-in show!
