Probably...I get kind of spoiled on Jez sometimes. I also think they are saddened by the focus in the last few episodes on Entourage on the struggles in Ari's marriage...it's no fun when your Ken doll has to sweat. Can't he just make money and say "hug it out, bitch," to people?(Don't get me wrong...I laughed at that. But the people who want an Ari spin-off want it for the wrong reasons.) And the dudes who want to be Don have found(and snorted) the WMD.
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I know I live in east bum-fuck, but I definately know people who watch, and while they may feel Joan or Peggy's pain don't even really see the black people, or lack thereof, a lot of it is nostalgia for the good old days. Also, I do think it is either influancing fashion, or the same trends that are influancing fashion influanced the reason the show is produced now.
In a nutshell, for me, though I love it it makes me uncomfortable I to sympathize with a rapist, for example, when I find that actually oversympathizing with rapists is an actual problem in our society.

Punishingly Intricate
I don't see people talking about it now the way they did in the first season when there was much more interest in the look,
Bob would disagree. He has to hear me say "I NEED that dress" every time Joan walks onscreen.

“Not dead yet!”
They like the way the game plays because it's rigged in their favor and they never once stop to think about how it's rigged.
They don't even know it's rigged.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I know I've posted this before, but I sat in a class in college called "Ethnicity" and listened to an upper-class white guy say OUT LOUD, "It was my people who made this country great!" It's a miracle he wasn't killed on the spot.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
and listened to an upper-class white guy say OUT LOUD, "It was my people who made this country great!"
You can tell because there are no black people or women on the paper money.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Also we only have to take a month to talk about each of them in history class because all the accomplishments of the white menz take up the rest of the year!
