I love Mad Men

Started by Mark Schoneveld · 8 months ago

I’ve never been a big TV watcher. While we were growing up, my mom used to limit us to something like “Sesame Street only!” No weekday cartoons. No cable. None of it. Sometime when I was in highschool she caved. But by that time I’d been br ... Continue reading »

    I love this show. And that Joan Holloway... Hubba hubba.

    Christina Hendricks (Joan) also has a pivotal role in two Firefly episodes....

    Episodes in which she is equally easy on the eyes, I might add...

    I'm not gonna lie... I looked up Christina Hendricks on IMDB after seeing her in the first episode. My goodness. She's going to be a star, no doubt. I'm totally a fanboy already.

    haven't checked it out yet, but it looks cool. BSG is my fave show, though.

    ha! Yes, i laughed and shook my head when I saw the photo you chose. Joan is beautiful indeed, but i would have used Don Draper. :)

    i love, love, love mad men, and totally enjoyed the characters on twitter. now, the irony of AMC taking legal action against the best marketing money could buy (which they had, of course, been getting for free) is just classic in demonstrating the gap between tv and engaging social media.

    anyway. i pretty much plan my week around sunday nights now. erik totally makes fun of me drooling over the wardrobe and set dressings in every episode.

    Yes. Mad Men is brilliant. Beautifully shot, fantastic casting, great writing, everything. It's a pleasure to the eyes, the brain.

    I was worried in the season opener that the writing for Don's character was becoming somewhat contrived, but that fear was short-lived.

    (and yeah, Deadwood is also fantastic. I only have season 1--I need to get the rest and binge some weekend.)

    I have yet to see Mad Men, but it seems as though I've been through the same DVD marathons - I'll have to check it out, thanks for the tip.
