“Mad Men” threw us back into the fire with its midseason premiere Sunday, and it did so with Don Draper confronting his mortality, and Peggy Olson realizing more and more that she wants to be spontaneous … even if she is not entirely sure just yet that she can be. This is a perpetual work-in-progress […]
Mad Men, Mad Men season 7 review
Death is a hard thing to swallow in life, and it is often something that is trivialized on TV shows. That is not exactly the case when it comes to “Mad Men.” The AMC staple brought season 7 back on Sunday night a story that revolved around Don Draper living his life to the fullest, […]
While there are countless interviews and “Mad Men” retrospectives all over the internet this week in preparation of the series returning to AMC on Sunday, few of them have asked the following very-important question: What’s actually going to happen in Sunday night’s episode? Part of the reason for that is creator Matthew Weiner’s reluctance to […]
We have yet to even see the first of the final seven episodes of “Mad Men,” and yet at the same time we can already envision the way in which this story is going to end: With a ton of complaining. This is the landscape that we live in these days with social media and […]
Come Sunday night, the beginning of the end is here: “Mad Men” season 7 (the final season), episode 8 is finally here. AMC has done a very good job of keeping us waiting, and the fact that Matthew Weiner keeps almost every little detail about the series a secret hasn’t made things any easier on […]
While you have gotten a chance to see John Slattery as Roger Sterling on “Mad Men” over the years, it turns out that there was an opportunity for him to be on another show that has been extremely valuable to pop culture in its own right. Not only that, but its ratings have shot through the […]
When the news first broke that Jon Hamm secretly spent a month in rehab prior to starting his “Mad Men” promotional tour for his final season, we were at first reluctant to report on it. Obviously this was something he did not intend on releasing to the public (at least at this time), and there […]
While there may not be a new episode of “Mad Men” for another two weeks, this is the time for us to start to be a little bit reflective on what has been a wonderful past eight or nine years for the show. We’ve seen Don Draper try to mature, be married, divorced, married, and […]
“Better Phone Pete”? While “Breaking Bad” managed to form a spin-off show in “Better Call Saul” that has turned out to be pretty darn great, this is still something that “Mad Men” creator Matthew Weiner is shying away from. We have heard him talk a number of times as of late about his desire to […]
“Mad Men” has a knack for looking perpetually cool at all times, and for the latest proof of that, you don’t have to look any further than the latest promo courtesy of AMC. Thanks to the glitz and the gloss of AMC’s marketing team, you almost forget for a few moments that Don Draper is […]
