Without reading the most recent comments (not looking for any spoilers), I've been watching the series on DVD in the past couple of weeks -- love it. One of the more interesting series I've seen in a long time. Just started season 2 and hope to catch up for the start of season 3. Helps me understand the world my parents grew up in a bit better.

And I'm so glad I wasn't around back then when smoking was so omnipresent. Gross!

Three episodes left, ladies.

I tried watching it when the first season came out on DVD, and didn't get more than about 3-4 episodes in.

Now I'm trying again and loving it. I'm almost done with season 1 via Netflix, season 2 is on On Demand, and I'll DVR the first episode or two of the new season until I'm caught up.

No idea why it didn't click with me the first time.

^I'm so glad you like it. It's a brilliant show. And Jon Hamm is so fucking sexy it hurts. I just bought Season 2 tonight and gave it to myself as an early birthday gift.

He was on Jimmy Fallon the other nite

Remember in Season 1 when Midge called Don at work once and said, "I want you to come down here, ravage me, pull my hair, and leave me for dead."? I would totally be up for that. Yes please, Mr. Draper.

I think I just missed January Jones on Fallon

I'd find him hotter if he wasn't such a freaking snake.

I find him very attractive as Don Draper (physically only, as he's a freaking snake), but Jon Hamm in non-Don Draper form ... not so much. I think it's the slicked-back hair that does it. Without it, he is just attractive and not so totally ha-cha-cha hot.

I think he's incredibly sexy both ways. Don is a complete douche, but he still manages to be completely attractive in every way. Also, I'm a total sucker for a hot man in a fedora. I have this weird fetish for them. And Jon Hamm to me, even without the Draper style is absolutely gorgeous. He has an incredible smile, and he seems so down-to-earth. I wanna marry him or have his babies or something....

ETA: Even with his marital woes and new baby on the way, I predict Don Draper will get laid more in the season premiere of Mad Men than I did all summer | TV Ecards and Greeting Cards at someecards.com

The Vincent Price sketch from SNL is on right now. Hamm's James Mason impression still kills me.

I love that sketch. "Say, where are the whores?" Every sketch was hilarious that night. I loved Don Draper's Guide to Picking up Women and the Pat Finger sketch is gold. I was literally on the floor.

Caught part of the re-airing last night, after the news. That was a great episode.

"If she's a pirate, my Jolly Roger was at full-mast the whole drive over here!"

Just got done powering through season two. Can't wait for tonight.

By the way, I had to explain something in that Pat Finger sketch to my 15 year old daughter. :blush:

I thought it was really solid premiere. That opening scene with Don witnessing his own birth in his mind was fascinating and very unique. I'm not sure how I like the new British workers. They don't really seem to fit in with the whole vibe at Sterling Cooper. Some of the funniest moments of the night was Pete showing what an epic douche he is about having to share Head of Accounts with Ken. Although, the firing of Burt Peterson was hilarious. On a serious note, the most poignant moment of the episode was Don and Sal on the plane ride home after he caught Sal in the hotel with the man. When he said, "I need to ask you something..", you could tell Sal was terrified, and when all Don wanted to talk about was the account, the relief in his eyes that he wasn't being judged or ridiculed was amazing. That scene to me showed that even though Don can be a sleaze, he was a good guy in a lot of ways. Most men at the time (many even now) would be afraid to sit next to Sal or act differently around him. Don isn't, at least not yet, and that's a good thing.

And the line of that ad about London Fog that Don says to Sal on the plane is 'Limit Your Exposure'.

"Say, Vincent, do you mind if I slip into something more comfortable? I pissed myself on the way over here. Pretty numb down there, so I only know it when it hits my ankles."

I say, Don Draper. You are still a giant prick. After all that last season, you go and do that on your first chance away?

Douchebag.

If it got him out of his shirt, I appreciate it.

I just bought Season One.

I can't wait to hear what you think. The first couple episodes are kind of slow-paced, but things really picked up for me around episode 3.

 

[daygloeyes2]

I love it. Only 2 episodes in, but I'm hooked.

Thank you Barnes and Noble for having it available at 50% off.
