feel slightly conflicted w/ this ending in the 70s. especially since some media outlets are reporting it'll actually jump to the mid 70s.
mad men for me is very specific in its 60s allure, associating it with another decade, especially for its finale will be an interesting feat.

They should do the China Beach thing and have the final episodes take place in multiple eras...or not.

Fun Fact: John Slattery played a Sterling-esque doctor in the series finale of China Beach.

surely this 'leap forward to the mid 70s' thing is just your PR hype story? no way the actors can look suddenly 5 years older?? i mean i'm all for it i.. guess. no way Sally's gonna look 20 or whatever.

Yeah, I definitely don't think this is 1976. As someone else pointed out, they used a Decemberists song in the end credits once, so there's no reason to think that "Love Hangover" -- in a teaser trailer, no less -- is meant to be faithful to the period in which the season's set. Also I know Kiernan Shipka is a "mature beyond her years" or whatever, but she's 15. No way are they going to have her playing early 20s.

they would not have put her in that baby-doll dress if they wanted her to read as older.

The tell on this for me was Joan's hair. Even though she's a single mom, etc, there's no way she'd still be wearing her 1969 hairstyle in 1976. Joan's way too cool for that shit.

a short baby-doll dress with a high collar and puffy shoulder-sleeves...i don't understand fashion at all.
alan sepinwall was talking about what might be a non-terrible mad men prequel, and he landed on the early adventures of bert cooper, where we finally discover what led to his testicles being removed.

It seems like there was effort made in the later seasons toward ugly fashions and ugly apartments. Maybe they thought it was too unrealistic to keep it like a Best Of 60s fashion. I really like Megan, Sally and Betty's clothes in the photo above.

Don looks like his lifestyle's starting to catch up with him in that pic, hope they play that up. Like how will don function when he's no longer the most virile man in the room lol.

Odd ending with that group shot that includes Cooper, Sal, and Kinsey (which I don't recall being in the actual show).

I plan to rewatch "The Suitcase" just before the last few start, and also the last episode of 7-a, remind myself where everything left off.

Pretty much the same, until you all jogged my memory. I remember Peggy getting very nostalgic over Burger Chef. (Which I was referring to as Burger King earlier, because I thought the one was standing in for the other--I guess there really was a Burger Chef after all, although I'm not sure I remember any.)

From the link above: Harry: Since he didn't complete his paperwork in time, he owns a 0 percent stake in SC&P, which makes his share of the sale $0. (Adjusted for inflation: $0.)

Having looked at the logo, I now vaguely remember Burger Chef. Did a little reading, and they made it into Canada, too.

The fam went to BC pretty regularly when I was a kid. I don't remember if it was good or not, but I remember getting kids meals that were in a container shaped like a F1 racecar and I had a few of those I'd push around on the floor. Maybe Peggy spearheaded that campaign.

"Mad Men" is holding a contest for all its loyal and avid fans. The contest is called "Mad Men: The Fan Cut" wherein viewers are invited to create their own individual scenes based on the first-ever episode of the show. When AMC has gathered all the winning videos from the fans, they will compile them to recreate the pilot episode.
