Mad Men (AMC)

[Mulli]

This show seems to use the Soprano method of "filler" episodes. There seems to be episodes where not much happens plotwise.

Good season opening. A reminder of everything and where we left off without pummeling us with new info. Solid start. Looking forward to the plot development.

I cant believe more people arent talking about this show. Best drama on TV currently. Hands down.

 

[O]

I'm still watching, great show.
The next episodes should be interestig.

I have only watched the first season. Need a marathon. Having withdrawals. Please remember to spoiler.

Watched the first two. I love the premise and IM a total sucker for period stuff. The one thing Im having a REALLY hard time with is the writing. Its SO heavy handed in terms of trying to remind us over and over again how period piece this show is. The comment about how "there's no magical machine out there that will make exact copies " was so forced I almost wretched. Imma keep watching cause I like the characters and the storylines, but they need to lay off the overused mysogeny factor (its just not believable even if it did happen that hard in the old days, nowadays it seems too contrived to be real) and they need to let the characters develop a bit on their own. I hope it gets to the point I think it can...

Interesting...my wife and I just started watching this show and I commented that I liked everything about that episde except the silly "copy machine" line.

Episode 3. Weak. The gal from the department store is either a bad character or a bad actress.

Episode 4. Much better. Campbell getting "fired." Was great. I hated that actor until now. Over all I think most of the younger guys in the office are weak actors. But Draper and the two higher ups are really good. The women in the office are really good. Draper's wife is excellent.

Random thoughts over.

Drapers wife is HOT!

Also loved this episode. His vulnerability was so real when he thought he was getting canned. I love how that exec convinced him that it was Draper who saved his butt.

I like the Rachel character watching this the second time through.

Still waiting to watch the second season.

Just started this show yesterday.

Watched the 1st three episodes. It's pretty good so far. I can taste the smoke.

If anyone gets word on them replaying all of Season 2, post it. I started watching Season 1 after they had taken the the older Season 2 shows off of On Demand. So basically, I'm done with Season 1 and am either going to try and watch all of Season 2 on DVD before Season 3 starts, or I may be able to catch a marathon to DVR.

Join. Wife and I watched Season 1. Need Season 2. Jonesing something fierce.

Season 2, honestly, was better than season 1. Just watched the finale last night. Great stuff. This is BY FAR the best drama on Television. And while SNL's 90 minute MadMen *****-out on Saturday night was shameless, hopefully it will spur more people to watch the show. It really is fantastic.

Season 2 is available on-demand, from what I understand, but I dont know the details...

The first half of Season 2, at least on Cox, has been taken off of On Demand.

If you don't count showtime or HBO, Mad Men is the best show on TV.

 

[Mulli]

The actress who plays Peggy also played President Sheen's daughter, Zoe, on West Wing.

Who knew?

 

[Cardsmasochist]

When will the new season start?

 

[Mulli]

Need season two to come out on DVD or on demand!!!

 

[Mulli]

3 or 4 episodes into Season Two. Love this show.

New season starts August 16th!!

 

[Mulli]

Season 2 finale...

Seriously excellent.

 

[azsportsfan01]

I watched the 1st and 2nd season in about a week and I am completely hooked on this show. August 16th can't come soon enough. Also I must say AMC is amazing. The 2 best shows on tv are on here and when their new show comes out next year I am probably going to be hooked on that as well.

 

[azsportsfan01]

Just a reminder, season premier is tonight.

 

[JerkFace]

Can't wait.......

 

[Cardsmasochist]

Season 3 is off to a strong start. I truly enjoyed last night's premier.

 

[azsportsfan01]

This episode was packed. Almost everyone in Sterling Cooper had some story line that sets them up nicely for the season. I really like the way the episode ended. Seems like this is going to be a great season.

I love how they ended last season making you feel like ole Don was gonna wise up and be the family man a perfect protagonist should be, and then they have him bang the hell outta a stewardess to start the season. Good ole Don...
