Off The Reservation

Can't wait!

Oh YES! I have all the seasons you can buy on DVD. As an advertising agent, this speaks to my core, and in many ways is true to what happens politically in the larger shops. Their struggles to manage client expectations is classic and very spot on. The constant battle to come up with creative content that will rise above the madding crowd of screamin' massaging is an issue all of us in this industry face. I hope they carry this a good ways, this and perhaps 2-3 more seasons. Bring it ON babeeeeee!

The writing is sharp and smart, Draper is the quintessential Sharp Dude, and the ensemble acting is as good as any - anywhere. Yers truly has rubbed elbows with a few of those Madison Avenue types - gotta few scars to prove it. I used to stay at the Empire Hotel on West 63rd., just across the street from where Bill Murray met with Sigourney Weaver at the Met Fountian, and did that spin around - mimicing the skater in "Ghostbusters".

Been waiting forrrreeevvvverrrrr for this. There's a couple of good articles on Grantland about it. I'm a fan of Don's new French Canadian wife. And of course Christina Hendricks.

Hi Laura.

This is one of those shows where it would be good to start with Season 1 - Episode 1. Four seasons worth is a lot to buy at one time though - I bought them one at a time, loaned them to my sister-in-law after watching, and now they're out there in cryladyland somewhere. You can start anywhere, but at least try to read as much of the backstory as you can - perhaps wikipedia can offer some help with that. You may not like how the female characters are treated at first, but most of them do grow throughout the series, and develop/show personal strength. You will not be wasting your time by getting involved.

You definitely want to start from season one. The relationships in the show are very intertwined and you will learn who the characters are and why they are who they are (redundant?). As someone in my 20's it is also an eye opener of how different this country was just 50 years ago.

If you are trying to quit smoking though then stay away. Those people are like chimneys lol

This.

Gonna DVR it while I'm watching the Heat-Thunder game. Probably watch it tomorrow night after work.

My wife took full advantage of Netflix during her maternity leave, and plans to do so in October. They have a lot of good TV series on there to watch, including Mad Men, if I am not mistaken... The Office, How I Met Your Mother, and for the classics they have Wings, Cheers, Murder She Wrote. A bit of everything. They even have a lot of the "Masterpiece Classic" stuff from PBS, including Downton Abbey, if you are into that stuff.

After 18 months, I forgot to watch Mad Men on DVR. The amount of commercials was ridiculous.

Pete is such a douche, but he is probably right in some ways. I wish they'd play up Cosgrove a little more. He's almost a cross of Don and Roger. He's more likeable and talented than Pete. Just not as conniving. I'd like to see him become Junior Partner and then compete with Pete for Senior Partner.

And how sexy was that song?

Just got finished watching it. Good start to the season although I'm not liking the new Don Draper so far. Hopefully he'll get back to his old ways eventually.

The addition of them interviewing the African-American women should be a nice twist which may actually open up a whole new market for their firm. Although, it being the 60's, it might hurt them with other clients as well that aren't so "progressive."

Considering according to Pryce they're hanging on barely I highly doubt that would be a wise course of action.
