a short baby-doll dress with a high collar and puffy shoulder-sleeves...i don't understand fashion at all.
yeah, it's kind of a wayward teen nod to edwardian and regency fashion. reminds me a little of the one on the left side here.

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.

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

I think that group shot was from an old commercial for the show.

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.

Pete is a legend. One of tv's greatest weasels.
― dutch_justice, Wednesday, 11 March 2015 06:54 (nine years ago) link
I gave up first time around about 2 or 3 episodes i too, because I actively hated all the characters on some level. But it gets better! I really recommend sticking with it Morbs. Also other characters occasionally bloody Pete's nose (actually and figuratively) as the show progresses and it is quite the thrill.

I would give it till episode 7, 'Red in the Face', which was the one that really sold me.

might've tried this sooner if i'd known Elisabeth Moss is essentially the second protagonist.
also i understand fictionalizing the specific histories of real products, but coming up with "It's Toasted" for Luckies in 1960, lol, like we all haven't watched and heard '40s/'50s commercials right? oh.
― touch of a love-starved cobra (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 11 March 2015 15:08 (nine years ago) link
Pete is so wonderfully loathsome. (he's the third protagonist after Peggy if we're keeping track)
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 11 March 2015 16:03 (nine years ago) link
one of the (many) interesting things about this show is how Don is a pretty standard "man without qualities" existential protagonist but they surround him with such vibrant characters--almost everyone on the show is so memorable and fully realized, especially as it goes along. i think that's the deepest pleasure of the show, where even bit recurring parts like someone's secretary have unique personalities. it's a very rich show in that way.
― ryan, Wednesday, 11 March 2015 16:10 (nine years ago) link
yeah when people complain about how "nothing happens" on this show I think they are missing the long-game richness that comes from the attention to detail for each character
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 11 March 2015 16:13 (nine years ago) link
I wonder what "nothing" might mean to them, because plenty happens. Does nothing = not much crime, not enough fights?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Wednesday, 11 March 2015 16:28 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, this was an odd moment in the show. One of a handful of S1 missteps, IMO.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 11 March 2015 16:31 (nine years ago) link
it's a criticism I've heard from multiple people and yeah I think they mean in comparison to, like, crime shows or Game of Thrones or something where there's nonstop murderboobs
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 11 March 2015 16:32 (nine years ago) link
xxp
it's one of the things i liked about the show most i think; the fact that the channel they were on meant they *couldn't* go full on murderboobs. instead you get.. romance and hints of things and smouldering. sexiness is sexier than sex as i believe someone once said.

I think people exaggerate and get oddly hung up about the nudity/sex. The French equivalents like Hard and Maison Close really do feature sex as a main ingredient though.
