felt like Roger's "When is everything going get back to normal?" / clinging to the ledge while the young kids step on my toes monologue was key
― dmr, Monday, 2 April 2012 16:38 (twelve years ago) link
yeah Roger's been dropping hints about jumping out the window for like two seasons.
and of course nothing ever gets "back to normal".

Roger's too vain to be suicidal. Even if he hates his job and his wife, he knows he has a natural charm and can get by on it for all his remaining years.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 2 April 2012 19:26 (twelve years ago) link
Plus he's not really all that reflective. He just moves on, he's not a dweller like Don.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 2 April 2012 19:30 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, that too. Roger has no mood swings because he's mostly oblivious to what's going on around him.

serious question: has any sympathetic adult character on this show ever been seen taking a bite of food? seems like people only get to eat on the show when the writers want to show them in an unflattering light.

sympathetic?

i mean everyone hates harry, and lolwhitecastle rite?
we're meant to hate betty, and there's the eating from last night, and that one episode where she does it with a stranger in a bar (that whore!) and eats out of the refrigerator when she gets home.

there are plenty of scenes that I can think of that take place at meals, but I'm not sure about the actually seeing people eat thing

the "actually eating" is what i'm talking about. and i know sally has gotten to eat, that's why i was asking about adults.

this is something Sopranos conscientiously did all the time but tbf it's pretty rare on TV shows, not just Mad Man. It's really hard to shoot scenes of people with their mouths full.

like, I dunno how much I would read into it thematically
i know, it's just something i think about from time to time -- how shows (etc) sometimes use food as a device to help make someone seem more unlikeable.

harry eats the most onscreen, also talks about food the most

yes, his wife is "making" him lose weight and he's obv such a weak person that all he wants to do outside of the house is cheat on his diet.
― eyes of dora maar (get bent), Monday, 2 April 2012 19:58 (twelve years ago) link
(and he's already cheated on his wife, speaking of things that harry cheats on)
― eyes of dora maar (get bent), Monday, 2 April 2012 19:59 (twelve years ago) link
harry actually told his wife that he cheated (not sure why i always want to stick up for him).
― mizzell, Monday, 2 April 2012 20:02 (twelve years ago) link
i wanted to stick up for him cuz he's a perennial loser, but the thing last week with megan was... well, him digging his own grave.
― eyes of dora maar (get bent), Monday, 2 April 2012 20:04 (twelve years ago) link
And he was very remorseful, which is why when he started getting really creepy with women I felt a bit let down by him. xp
― Respectfully, Tyrese Gibson (Nicole), Monday, 2 April 2012 20:04 (twelve years ago) link
pete has gone from being a weasel to being likeable, and he's been pretty creepy with women too.
actually most of these characters (including/especially peggy) are sexual weirdos.

Fans of the highly addictive TV series about the advertising business in the 1960s learned yesterday that AMC, the cable network that carries the show, is demanding cast cuts -- of at least two characters.

iirc MW locked in his cast for the final 3 seasons when he reached his agreement with AMC
― http://i.imgur.com/TBVkw.gif (silby), Monday, 2 April 2012 20:57 (twelve years ago) link
what point?
― mizzell, Monday, 2 April 2012 20:57 (twelve years ago) link
the point on top of my head.
no, the point that amc wants weiner to get rid of two characters in exchange for his THIRTY MILLION DOLLAR salary.
― eyes of dora maar (get bent), Monday, 2 April 2012 20:58 (twelve years ago) link
seem to recall that one of the things MW said after he signed his contract was that AMC were offering him more money at the expense of cast and minutes on air and he wasn't biting.

"Seriously, lib media mocking my dead grandpa?" Tagg Romney wrote in response to Politco reporter Alex Burns partially quoted the offending line. "George Romney was as good a man I've ever known. Inspirational leader, worked for civil rights, promoted freedom. We need more like him."
On Sunday's episode, Betty's new husband, Henry Francis, turned down a request that his boss, New York Mayor John Lindsay, appear with Michigan Gov. George Romney.
"Well, tell Jim his honor’s not going to Michigan," Francis said. "Because Romney’s a clown and I don’t want him standing next to him."

what's with all the Harry-hate? Did he start sucking in season 4 (which I watched sporadically and may have even missed a couple of eps), or something? I always found him to be one of the more likable, decent dudes in the office, particularly compared the likes of Pete or that pretentious beardo who got left behind after the SCDP break
