Where's my scotch and smokes??
The new season of Mad Men starts this Sunday night! I am so ready for this.
I’m glad I didn’t actually build a Barbie-sized mock-up of the Sterling Cooper offices, since the gang has new digs this season. I swear, I follow the furniture, clothing and props as much as the storylines on this excellent show.
AMC has been showing selected episodes from past seasons, interspersed with bits of commentary from Matthew Weiner, and I was blown away by how much richer these episodes are upon second, third and fourth viewing. I miss a lot the first time through (that is the highest compliment I can pay a television program) and I find certain characters becoming more compelling (Peggy is one complicated woman) and less so (sorry, Bets!).
So, what will the Mad Men version of 1964 look like? President Johnson’s Great Society social programs, the Gemini missions, escalation in Vietnam,Vatican II… ? I hope we get a glimpse of the New York World’s Fair and a taste of Beatlemania… And I predict Don’s daughter Sally gets a nice juicy storyline. That kid is quite an actress.
