I used this on a competitor at a conference…

”Hey Bogeywon I was thinking of you guys the other day…”

”that’s funny because I don’t think of you at all…” *walks away

We need a Sally spinoff. 

it's called "swimming with sharks".

But you have to sing

Whoa, Fat Betty, (Bam-ba-lam)

Yup! Sally would be a great spinoff 

[billfromlaketravis 11,448]

I assume Fat Betty was makeup and lighting? January Jones hasn’t lost her fastball.

in case anyone was unaware, this is the new swimming with sharks.  i haven't watched it all, but it gets pretty dark and very...sexual.

Looks fantastic 

[mchookem 16,322]

looks great, obviously similar to the Spacey film which was excellent, but with female leads.

wth is the Roku channel lol

Grimy little pimp is so great.

 

My favorite line in the whole series is, "That's what the money is for" when Don addresses Peggy's feelings/ drama.

The "I'm sorry about your boyfriend, OK!?" at the end of that scene...lulz.

[bluto 4,914]

Harry / Sterling standoff negotiation is so great. 

[Elvis 3,371]

This was a great scene.

 

[mchookem 16,322]

Don Draper is the sexiest leading man in tvland* i forgot how hot some scenes were. hmmm 😊

Have been doing a full re-watch, and I am in season two episode five. The transition from Pete Campbell at the fertility clinic right into Roger Sterling with the paddle ball made me laugh harder than anything I can remember on regular TV in a very very long time.

The show is just so incredible, even on the re-watches there are some subtle things that were missed  the first time through.

I had the same experience.  My first and even second time through I found plenty of new stuff that was entertaining as hell.   Definite sign of an outstanding job all around on a series.

I rewatched this during covid. Just so good. Def my favorite TV series.

is that broad from "Two Broke Girls?"  

I saw her in person once while at a horns game in L.A.  Her ass was absolutely stupefying.  I see now that she is the progressive man's January Jones.  

my dream threesome (them and me) ...

[LonghornSean 3,989]

Yeah I did a first rewatch a couple of years ago. Loved it and look forward to starting it up again at some point. Such a classic show.

[henrygandorf 29,189]

i've decided to stop calling it a "rewatch".  it's just perpetually going and probably will for decades like general hospital.

The takeover yielded an empty shop.  Never made the connection on the similarities until just now finishing up with S3 rewatch.

Holy shit, I do not know how I missed this during the original run, but on the past couple of re-watches, the reference to the Massacre of Glencoe brings literal tears and inability to breathe, I'm laughing so hard.

Campbell's sincerity and exasperation when he insists, "The King ORDERED IT!!!" may be one of the funniest moments I've seen on tv.  Just fucking genius writing.

 

[henrygandorf 29,189]

i'm glad this is an environment where you feel free to fail.

Is Amazon with ads still the only streaming option? Freeve has more ads than broadcast TV. 

[tbone_ 14,113]

I bought several of the seasons on Amazon for a rewatch.

Keep an eye on VUDU. They regularly put the entire series on sale. I paid something like $30. It was worth it. 

[Augustus 3,061]

One of the coolest things to happen with that show was Heinz actually running with one of Mad Men's ad campaigns.

AMC+ is one of the best subscription services out there. In addition to ad free AMC content, you get Shudder, Sundance and IFC content. I probably use it more than any other service.

[Augustus 3,061]

Another really fascinating aspect of that series is just how incredibly different a place the world is in the last season, versus 1960 at the start of season 1.

I don't think there are very many decades in our nation's history during which the country changed that much.  Obviously, more recent decades and the way tech has so altered our lives certainly fits the bill, but prior to that I think the 60's were incredibly transformative.

Same here.  Great service.

remember in the early seasons when amc would run old commercials and shit during mad men (or at least old looking commercials that companies made)?  it made it tricky to fast forward dvr'd episodes.

Yes it did.

How in the living hell did I miss Peggy extorting $400 out of Roger for his fake Mohawk promo?  
 

Damn, that was slick.

how much do you make?

you don't know?  that's helpful.

[RPM 26,318]

Roger and Peggy had a fun dynamic.
