Won't be watching for a while but its sad (from wha I've read) that Betty won't be given much time on the show. The character is v underrated, I love the depth given to the housewifery manias!

The show writes for her really well and she's excellent at what she's asked to do...assuming they write her to be a shallow bitch who repulses me in new ways every other episode.

None of these ppl are that likeable -- Betty is on par for the course.

agree everybody's fairly loathsome - with the exception of Peggy

I honestly like Joan and Peggy, and perhaps Don's old secretary who died at her desk and Don's newest secretary that he shares with Roger. But yeah, I see what you mean.

Trudy is very likable to me, even tho she's a nazi.
― Mordy, Thursday, 29 March 2012 20:05 (twelve years ago) link
I can't tell if my feelings about Trudy are shaded by my feelings about Annie on Community (and/or Alison Brie in general). Those are positive feelings, btw.

I wouldn't assume that Betty is being given a smaller role, only because Christopher Stanley (Henry Francis) is now credited as a regular cast member.
― Cuba Pudding, Jr. (jaymc), Thursday, 29 March 2012 21:23 (twelve years ago) link
(Unless the idea there is that Betty is on-screen no more than Henry is, and they don't want to officially demote January Jones, so they'll promote Christopher Stanley instead.)

The Lurch and Morticia comment makes more sense now that I've seen the house.
So was Betty wearing her real baby fat or did they just put her in costume?

best: Megan gamely saying "yes" in response to something Mrs. Heinz said in just the same way Don gamely says "yes" when he just needs the conversation to continue.
worst: Betty eating ice cream was too """on the nose"""

I read this as her previously overstepping/being too modern ("well, don was divorced...") and realizing that "yes" is the correct answer, even if she found work talk exciting from a professional pov.
