Have some idea as to what Pete and Betty are talking about? Let us know in the comments section.
Sometimes Sally relies on her fists instead of words, but when the oldest Draper kid does say what's on her mind, it can be quite profound.
Just because the season is over doesn't mean you can't still revel in all things Mad Men. Be sure to take a second look at what the show's stars had to say.


Great program. Thanks for all the fun and laughs!
I just love, Bertrum and Peter. I like the three other office fella's too. I would love for Betty to have a baby girl and name her Jacqueline. When I was born all the nurses in the hospital came to my mother’s room because they had to hold the new “baby Jackie.” That’s how popular and loved Jackie Kennedy was.
That was my 15 minutes of fame in 1963, and I didn’t know I was there.
I also was born on January 8 and all my life Elvis took all my birthday press. “I heard it on the radio, today’s is Elvis’s birthday, so I thought I would give a call and wish a Happy Birthday!” gee thanks.
Anyway, my mother had to keep reminding the nurse's that I was named after her sister.
I wish I could have there to see it.
The writer’s should check out “The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio” great advertisement ideas there.
I would like to see more average Joe kind of Advertisements with the smart brainy slogans that housewife’s played to win prizes. The firm should get the average public involved in their ideas. Like Peggy did with the mother and the popsicles.
It's also a good way to bring on many more average outside Janie and “Joe the Plumber” characters.
Thanks again! I’m so looking forward to season 3! Jackie born in January 1963.
Don opens his own ad agency with his half a million, taking several of Sterling Cooper's people with him, including Peggy and Joan (who resents being pulled away from reading the tv scripts and advising clients...and wouldn't mind getting away from Roger and Paul).
Pete stays at Sterling Cooper and works for Don as a mole, feeding information on Duck to Don...via Peggy. It's necessary for Pete and Peggy not to be seen when they meet, though, so it's always at remote little hideaways.
Peggy tries to keep it all business, but Pete talks about everything BUT! Peggy would rather do it by phone or keep it short. Pete finds ways to stretch it out, or have certain papers, forcing the need to meet face to face. Peggy's loyalty to Don keeps her going to the meetings that Pete tries to make steamier and steamier...as his marriage becomes rockier and rockier.
Roger's fooling around with his child bride makes his low productivity noticed by his new bosses, and Duck's drinking starts showing, although he deflects blame on the younger fellows who gripe more and more that they wished they had gone with Don. (A lower salary with a growing agency is better than a disappearing one on a sinking ship.)
When Cooper retires, the Brits decide that the next in line to lead the company in NY is PETE! They offer him a whopping salary and title. By then, Pete's decided that he wants to leave Trudy and be with Peggy, and can only be Don's #2, so he's tempted to take it and BEGS Peggy to leave Don's agency and come back to Sterling Cooper with him at the helm and marry him.
When Peggy rejects him "You're out of your mind!" Pete goes insane with rage, deciding to take it out on Don by taking the helm to "show them all" just how good he is: Sterling Cooper will rise up again and CRUSH Don's agency. (Then Peggy will have no choice but to come back if she's out of job, BTW.)
A fitting close to season #3 would be seeing Pete's name on THE office door at Sterling Cooper and the resolve in his face to crush Don and his agency...or him closing the door at the beginning of his staff meeting to tell everyone how they're going to do it.
This show really get me in to she every episode, cause there is all ways drama going around with these characters. This is a really good show to watch. I really enjoy watching it. Now I can't wail till season 3 comes.
