What are they missing?

I was a child in this peroid and remember vividly nuclear bomb drills. Under the desks, heads between the knees. Two things missiong; kissing your a$$ goodbye and a Madmen eposode about it.

What else are they missing from the period? What say you?

Sal starting his own agency!

Wouldn't that be something for Don to recon with!

I was browsing thru the character profiles and noted this one for Sal's:

An ambitious employee, he has expressed an interest in starting his own firm, where art would be the driving force behind the copy.

Food for thought. Wouldn't that be an interesting story arc for Season 4~

PEOPLE MAGAZINE'S "SEXIEST MAN ALIVE 2009"......JOHNNY DEPP?????

Well, folks, I just can't believe he could beat Our Man Jon....anyone agree?

Johnny D. is an attractive man, sure....but, let's face it, not even in the same galaxy as Jon Hamm.

Sigh....maybe next year....

The Prisoner

Did anyone watch it? What did you think of it?

Reopen Investigation of Natalie Wood's death

Natalie Wood was a Hollywood icon, beloved by millions for her performances in such classic films as Miracle on 34th Street, West Side Story and Rebel Without a Cause.

Her bizarre death near the yacht Splendour on a chilly November evening in 1981 off Catalina Island has remained shrouded in mystery.

Recent revelations, including admissions by Ms. Wood's husband, have shown that the initial investigation was seriously flawed and evidence ignored.

Anachronisms?

Three phrases I doubt the were used in 1960-1962:
1) The media is the message (Holloway to Paggy Season 1). McLuhan's book was 1967.
2) I'm good. Doug politely declines a glass of whiskey.
I'm good is much later (late 90s?).
3) Prix fixe menu. The phrase in US came much later (late 80's?)

I am open to any challenges here.

Peggy Is In Love With Don

I was reading a previous post about why Don fought for Peggy and not for Betty. I kept wondering why Peggy stayed at SC even after several offers from other companies. I then thought about Don and Peggy's first meeting when Peggy came on to Don and Don quickly told her that he was her boss and not her boyfriend. In almost every scene with Don, Peggy wears this look like a love sick teenager. The people in the office even thought they were having an affair. They share a very strange, yet close sort of intimacy and friendship of shared secrets and mutual respect. Peggy stayed with SC because she is mad about Don even from day one. That's why she seems bored with other men that she meets because none of them measure up to Don. I hope they don't have an affair in Season 4. I really want Don with Rachel. Don may even have some unrecognized feelings for Peggy other than respect. He says that he sees himself in Peggy and remember Don loves himself more than anything.
