Talk is a public forum where you can ask questions and share your commentary with fellow Mad Men fans.
Hopefully AMC will post the official links for these soon, but until then, take a look at four new Mad Men TV spots.....all clips from S1 and S2 scenes, reminding me again what a beautifully-filmed series it is.

OK, my beautiful wife just purchased the entire series of "Buck Rogers" on DVD, for Fathers Day... She's the best!
While I was watching the 2nd episode, I shouted out loud... It's Don Draper in Space! My wife laughed and thought about it for a moment and agreed. Come to think of it, I think Gil is the only reason she got me the DVDs. Come to think of it I think that Jon is the only reason she watches Mad Men. Hmmmm.
If you haven't seen an episode of Buck Rogers, view it and let me know what you think!

Don getting away with too much post made me wonder...why do men cheat.? Come on guys fess up and girls why do you think they do. What can you do to prevent it, etc. Do tell!
Let's pretend AMC is a having a contest to pick new Theme Music for Season 3 of "MAD MEN".
What song would you pick and why?
He disappears from work for three weeks and is rewarded with a half a million dollars when he returns.
He steals Don Draper's identity but instead of turning him over to the police when she discovers this, the real Mrs Draper ends up his secret confidant instead.
He mistreats his wife for years, but gets to stay married to her anyway.
Over and over again he gets away with it. What are the consequences for his behavior?
Here's the profile for a sociopath

I think the only point that doesn't fit is that Don does seem capable of feeling remorse over what his behavior has done to his family.
"Established Men - Sugar Daddy Dating, where beautiful girls and successful men meet." C'mon AMC, you are really scraping the bottom of the barrel for ads these days. I suppose it fits in with the Mad Men story line, though. I can see Roger giving them a call. Would he want them as a Sterling Cooper client? How would he spin it so it didn't sound like just an expensive call girl operation? I can just see him ordering Don to ditch the Arthur Murray Dance Studio and concentrate on Sugar Daddy Dating.
Throw this ad back in the barrel along with the one for body shaving, and credit Mad Men fans with some taste and discrimination, for Pete's sake.
This month, our attention is focused on three movies, "Cape Fear," "Rope," and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance." Why should we talk about these movies here? Well, all three were mentioned during the season (be the first to share where and by whom), and the movie-buff Maddicts have great discussions about the actors, the era, and memories surrounding the viewing of the film. It's also a great deal of fun second-guessing Matt Weiner's motive for mentioning these three movies in the series.
Come join us for the next week or so. Whether you're a movie buff or Mad Men addict, you're welcome to join us this month to discuss Alfred Hitchcock's movie about the guest who's dead on time. Or, maybe you have a juicy tidbit to tell us about the movie where John Wayne met James Stewart. Share how afraid you were whenever Robert Mitchum filled the screen in Cape Fear. Did you think Gregory Peck's character had a chance? This should be fun!
I look forward to another lively discussion and will post my comments right along with you. (...Just a reminder, I am not an AMC moderator, just a fan like yourself!).
Why did Roger introduce Don as Tilden Katz in Six Months Leave? Does he know about Don's affair with Rachel Menken in S1 and that she is now married to Tilden Katz?
Hi Maddicts,
Clayton has other duties but fear not, you're not abandoned!
I'll be keeping an eye on your conversations -- the better to hand out mugs -- and to chime in when I can. And if there's anything you need to be in touch about, you can reach me at: lilyoei.amc@gmail.com.
Best,
Lily
Their house looks huge from the outside so how is it that there are only two bedrooms?? This has always confused me. I wonder if another room will just magically appear for the new baby. And Sally is getting too old to keep sharing with her brother.
"They're changing the guard at Buckingham Palace...
Christopher Robin went down with Alice..."
For AA Milne's full poem, seehttp://www.winniethepoohbear.net/poem_buckingham.php.)
Remember when Roger jumped up and recited this in Alice Cooper's face the moment she showed herself inside the door for the meeting of the partners' vote on PP&Lowe take-over/merger?
On June 21,1958 the year as to which Mad-Men began.the million Dollar seller "Splish-Splash,written and recorded by Bobby Darin was released.It would be so great to hear it and his other top songs 1959(Beyond The Sea,Queen Of The Hop,Dream Lover,Mack The Knife) and so on in episode three.It would truly takes us back to those wonderful years.Kathy
Does anyone think the bad time slot simply has to do with the smoking? There has to be a reason, the time slot is just so bad. I've seen news story after story about over the past decade a huge Hollywood push to ban smoking from all media. (also seen recent stories of a similar push to only show child characters eating healthy food and vegetables. seriously.)
But that's my 2 cents. I think maybe it's the smoking that they're either forced, or just themselves just feel more comfortable, to put it on late. It just makes no sense having such a bad time slot.
Myself, I would hope not because that's just yet again taking something initially well-intended too far. I can't imagine legions of teenagers suddenly running out smoking because of a tv show on the AMC channel they don't watch. Not to mention it's probably harder nowadays for a kid to get his hands on ciggarettes than it is a case of beer.
But if the bad time slot comes down to it actually being because of the smoking, I say put the show on at 8 and puff away even more. They could use the bad publicity.
I think that the only way Betty would possibly be able to consider forgiving Don and reconciling with him after his MASSIVE betrayal would be if Don were to get down on his knees and issue an enormous "mea culpa."...
This was indeed the best episode of M.M. I've ever seen! I couldn't believe how Don and Co. decided to start their own agency. But what, praytell, will happen to Paul, Sal and Ken? Have they been written off the...
