This is a great show. I am thoroughly enjoying it and hoping more will tune in. This particular episode was intriguing because it revealed the increasing emasculated character of the gun totting newlywed and his impending doom. It's some kind of forshadowing...I just know it.

Why isn't Red in the face available On Demand? Episode 7 is the only episode that wasn't ever added to my on demand menu at Comcast.

I like this show very much, however I wish an exotic looking, beautiful woman could be introduced into the secretarial pool, and all of the madmen are vying for her attention, however she's got a secret,(she is mixed black/white and is passing for white.Her greatest fear is being discovered.............Now thats very 1960's

I've stopped watching the show, as well made as it is. I couldn't get through the episode where Roger was trying to promote a group sex event with the Doublemint twins. While Roger, his mistress and Pete Campbell lead the Most Repellent Character race at this point, I realized there is no one I identify with or care about, even Peggy is starting to seem a little creepy and sneaky. I'm not a prude, it would be hypocritical for me to be that way, but I find that I need at least a couple of people to identify with to make the effort to continue watch a film. This outfit has more repellent people per square foot of carpet than the Sopranos

Having sworn off television, this show has restored my faith that someone has the balls to go with the inspired rather than the insiped. The writing is superb, the settings and wardrobe are brilliant and the actors are actors, not just Barbie and Ken dolls. As a "boomer", I was pleasantly suprised at the realism so evident in the series. One question. I had the opportunity to see another fresh face, Darren Pettie, as Pertrucio in Boston and again on Broadway with Nathan Lane. His short, but notable presence, in Episode one evidences a remarkable stage presence translating well to the screen. When are you bringing him back?
