I watched this morning. Sooooo happy this show is back.
Should be fun to watch the Pete/Ken rivalry. I love the stark differences between the two -- both their reactions to being called to the meeting, and their reactions to the later news. Pete is so damn intense and uncomfortable all the time. I would hate him if it wasn't so clear how miserable he is.
I'm really happy to see a bit ...
Yeah this is another great show....DVRed it to watch tonight (hopefully).
I am turning into a real TV junkie - I feel like almost every time someone posts an "I love whatever show" thread I have to post "yeah me too"..!
Okay - so I jumped on the Mad Men bandwagon after hearing so many great things about it.
I tivo'd it last night, but have never seen the show before. Will I be totally lost, or will I as least be able to follow the episode?
What are some things from the first two seasons that I MUST know in order to start watching the show?
I'm hoping to someday get the first two seasons, but our...

My husband and I have Netflixed the first two seasons - should be here soon. Apparently we'll be Netflixing season three too now that I've missed the first episode!
I've read a lot of great things about this show, including a fantastic article in the most recent Vanity Fair. I'm as interested in the sets and the clothes as I am in anything else - I'm a huge fan of the midcentury modern.
I heart those clothes. i wish I could find some of those dresses. They are amazing
half the fun of the show is watching how politically incorrect they are. Bars in their office. Smoking at work. All the women secretaries. So crazy! I love it!

You really should watch the first two seasons to get the full low down on why these people do what they do.
Jon Hamm's character is so intense and his background is very interesting.
Try to find the first two seasons online (they're out there) or maybe your local library has them...
Last night's episode was outstanding.
Bad boy Don... doing what he does best.
Joan is still...
<SPOILERS> . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Yup, it's Pete's kid. that's why it's so funny how the season 3 ended. I haven't watched the entire 2nd season, but i did watch the episode with Joan's fiancee/Don in California. Great episode. __________________ Follow my adventures in Scrapbooking, cooking, traveling, garden and everyday life at my blog: http://paperchaise.wordpress.com

What is it that I'm picking up on between Roger and Joan? This is my 1st season watching, so I'm thinking these two have some kind of history. They had an affair in Season One. Don't remember if or how long it went on in Season Two. __________________ 3a/3b Latest...

So, clearly I was wrong and Joan did get married. Judging from the previews we'll see more of her marriage very soon. I don't expect it will be a happy one. I can't help but feel a little sorry for Roger who was clearly completely unaware of the possible repercussions of his actions. Yes, he's a dog and an idiot, but part of me does feel for him. Peggy is still lost. I wonder when she will actually deal with what's...

So I just watched the finale of season one. SOMEONE PLEASE talk to me about it! I'm dying. Spoilers if you haven't seen season one... So whose baby is it? And what is Don's deal? He was in the Army during Korea. His CO died and he took the guy's dog tags and abandoned the family he was born into? Is that right? I've gotten the idea this season that his natal family wasn't all that great, but what was going on...
