New York's Gone Mad Week Continues at Citi Field and Times Square

bryan-batt-studio-325.jpgIn between sips of your Brandy Alexander at the Hilton Hotel, don't forget that Mad Men week in New York continues this weekend, too. Tonight at Citi Field, the Mets play the San Francisco Giants and as part of Mad Men week, classic cocktails will be served at the stadium's bars while special fedoras will be handed out to a number of lucky attendees. Season 3 promos will also be broadcast before and during the game. (First pitch is at 7:10PM so you better hurry.) Also, let's not forget the Season 3 premiere screening in Times Square! What could be better than watching the first episode with your fellow Maddicts in NYC on Sunday night? Watching it with Bryan Batt (who'll be on hand). Come dressed in your Mad Men best for the pre-screening costume contest at 8PM. The show airs at 10PM.

Season 3 1st episode, very disappointing, after such along wait. Need to keep the guy seen to the imagination. Yuk! There are lots of fans, did not need a Broke Back Mountain.

Two things in this episode are not consistent with the 60's:

1. We did not say that inanimate objects were "sexy". The only time we used the term sexy as a description was when we were referring to a man or a woman.

2. No man would have had a typewriter in his office, and certainly not one of Don's stature!!!!! Men didn't even know how to type in 1960.

Did anyone else have difficulty hearing, understanding some of the dialogue???? I found some of it to be very muffled................

Just my 2 cents worth.......

What happened to Duck? Very disappointing.

Continue with the gay story line and you've lost this viewing household. I don't want it shoved in my face like that. I want to be entertained. Mad Man can stand on its own you don't need the shock value. Stay away from it.

I agree with Julie as to her point "Continue with the gay story line and you've lost this viewing household."

I am wondering about the "flashback" at the start of episode. Was not Don's three week disppearence last season supposed to be retrospective ? Why do another one ?

I agree with the comments about the gay story line. To me it seemed gratuitous and completely unnecessary to advance the story. The same effect could have been accomplished by cutting away after the bellman adjusted the air conditioning in Sal's room and then picking it up again when Don looks in from the fire escape. I can no longer recommend this to my friends and have gone out of my way to tell them not to watch Mad Men now that this line has been not just crossed but obliterated.

I agree with the comments on the gay story line. It was way more than I needed to see. What??? Is AMC becoming HBO and I didn't know about it. I was so excited that the new season had started now I am just dissappointed. The next time I will definetly have to make sure the children are in the bed.

Oh, please, people! The adultery, out-of-wedlock children, boozing, lying, cheating, child neglect, and religious hyposcrisy, etc. doesn't offend your delicate sensibilities, but a discrete GAY scene does? I guess we haven't moved that far from the early 1960s, after all, when everything was in the closet. I found it (Sal's encounter) to be very true to the times and revealing of the times, and pretty much what was experienced by anyone who was even slightly out of the mainstream - how hard they had to try to fit in, and the personal angst they went through to hide who they were. Why not watch re-runs of the Waltons if a little gay sex is so unpleasant for you? GROW UP!
