Mad Men at the Museum of the Moving Image: transport to 60s era New York in new show exhibit

There is no denying that Matthew Weiner created a monster when Mad Men‘s pilot premiered for the first time and everyone was like, “WAIT. WHAT THE &%$# just happened? This is the greatest show ever.” And after a pretty amazingly long run, the second half of the 

“It’s all up in the air”: <i>Mad Men</i> season 7 is coming, and things look pretty groovy

“It’s all up in the air”: Mad Men season 7 is coming, and things look pretty groovy

Remember when Don asked Megan if she wanted to be bi-coastal and she sort of freaked out? Well it looks like there was a change of heart in the upcoming season 7 trailer that previews a left AND right coast perspective of things. And dang,

On missing Mad Men: looking back at the inevitable bittersweet ending to season six

“Ice cream castles in the air / and feather canyons everywhere / I’ve looked at clouds that way / but they only block the sun / they rain and snow on everyone” In a way TV shows are a lot like relationships (duh), and with

Don will still have all the naps!: “The Quality of Mercy” leaves us feeling bittersweet for this season’s Mad Men finale

“The ego sings of castles and kings and things that go with a life of style.” If there’s one thing we can take away from “The Quality of Mercy,” it’s that Don is a lucky bastard. With Sally keeping his little neighborly affair a secret, 

What’s with all the ORANGES?: Mad Men “Favors” review

What’s with all the ORANGES?: Mad Men “Favors” review

“God can turn off the lights at any moment.” A rather uneventful Mad Men episode chewed away by the last ten minutes of “Favors,” which ended with Sally catching Don in the act of hooking back up with Mrs. Rosen after the severe roller coaster 

In Matthew Weiner’s version of a “Tale of Two Cities,” Don smokes hashish, Roger fails to seduce a tripping hippie, and Joan goes rogue

In Matthew Weiner’s version of a “Tale of Two Cities,” Don smokes hashish, Roger fails to seduce a tripping hippie, and Joan goes rogue

“Anyone can tell you not to run makeup ads during football.” Joan: the gingery rebel gone rogue! And I sort of love it! In “Tale of Two Cities” the top tier of the firm is on opposite coasts, and of course, everything has to go completely 

“The Better Half”: Betty pulls a Don, Joan goes to the beach, and we really want to hear Roger’s Dr. Zaius impression

“The Better Half”: Betty pulls a Don, Joan goes to the beach, and we really want to hear Roger’s Dr. Zaius impression

Blood. Margarine. Tears. Seduction. All in an episode’s work! “The Better Half,” was an unexpectedly morbid hour of shenanigans. I mean, never would I have taken Peggy for a murderer (kidding, of course), and since when is Betty the center of attention? And does the market 

“Man With a Plan”: at the end of the day, business will always be business, even if it is just a stick of margarine

“Man With a Plan”: at the end of the day, business will always be business, even if it is just a stick of margarine

The only “Man With a Plan” in this week’s Mad Men episode is Ted, and he barely even knows what’s going on – especially after Don gets him completely wasted before official talks about their first “love child,” margarine (he passes out right after he

Mad Men “For Immediate Release” review: SCDP is now SCDPCGC, Peggy gets a little kissy kissy, and Don Draper loves puppies, apparently

Mad Men has a tendency to totally shift the entire trajectory of the show in one totally unexpected moment, and this week’s episode “For Immediate Release” was a prime example of that phenomenon. One word: CHEVY. Well I guess more so MUSTANG, but either way, in a 

“The Flood”: Don and Bobby see Planet of the Apes, Peggy toys with home ownership, and the people of Mad Men mourn MLK [spoilers]

“The Flood”: Don and Bobby see Planet of the Apes, Peggy toys with home ownership, and the people of Mad Men mourn MLK [spoilers]

“Everybody likes to go to the movies when they’re sad” —Bobby Draper Oh boy. I want to say Don redeemed himself in this week’s episode “The Flood” just by taking Bobby to see Planet of the Apes (twice! And it actually came out one day
