I missed a birthday!
Sorry, holiday weekend and all. November 28th is the birthday of Sunny Mabrey, who gave a strong, memorable performance as Shelley, the outgoing and engaged stewardess in Out of Town. Plus, we have a sister named Sunny, so y’know, extra points. Day-late birthday kisses to you, Sunny, ...

Who Moved My Velveeta?
1998’s Who moved my cheese?, by Spencer Johnson, stresses the importance of being prepared for the inevitable changes which are going to occur in the workplace. The book is told as an allegory featuring two mice, “Sniff” and “Scurry,” and two tiny humans, ...

Grace
In deciding to post a Rockwell illustration to wish everyone at BoK a Happy Turkey Day, I was expecting to go with the iconic Freedom From Want, in which a family is gathered around a table, all smiles as the golden bird is being set in place for carving. If it doesn’t come readily to [...]

Mad News, November 20-25, 2009
We’re pretty proud that New York Magazine picked up our article on Don Draper dolls. The Sydney Morning Herald profiles Matt Weiner. The New York Post lists Mad Men under “TV we’re thankful for.” Peggy Noonan is also thankful for much this year — including Mad Men, ...

Mr. Campbell, who cares?
Conrad Hilton: You know? I got everything I have on my own. It’s made me immune to those who complain and cry because they can’t. I didn’t take you for one of them, Don. Are you?. —Shut the Door. Have a Seat Roger Sterling: How long do you think it’ll take us to be in a place [...]

Don and the fire
Let’s go all the way back to Out of Town. The fire alarm goes off. Sal’s looking kind of confused and says “What’s that?” and the bellhop says “fire alarm;” they’re still fussing around with their clothes in the time it takes Don to get out the ...

A Love Among the Ruins goof?
A Mad Men fan sent us this waaaaay back. The picture is difficult to read, but, well, let me quote her: when Don sits down at the table with his father-in-law after having words with William. Look at the back of Don’s New York Times. It looks like a Blackberry to me. (Click to enlarge.) ...

November 24th: Big Basket Birthday Day!
Well, maybe just to some of us. We know that not all viewers took notice of Gertie at the stables in S2, but others are fans of Denise Crosby from way back–she was the ultimately doomed, oft returning Lieutenant Tasha Yar on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Whether you recognized her or ...

Don has never told Betty he loved her
Not on camera anyway. In A Night to Remember, she said he didn’t, and he said “I do, all the time.” In the Gypsy and the Hobo he said that Anna reminded him he loved her. But we have never seen him look Betty in the eyes and tell her “I love you,” or even [...]

Just Desserts
Guest-posted by seagirl. OK, if you must know, Deborah had the Brown Butter Pecan Tart and Roberta, something equally decadent that I failed to get a fork into fast enough. The rest of us stuck with espresso and chocolates. Then again, this whole thing really wasn’t about food. But there are ...

Not-So-Live-Blogging “The Grown-Ups”
Instant classic. We debated all season whether it would even get addressed. Not only was it, but the style, elements of surprise, self-reference, verisimilitude and historical accuracy were, er … dead-on. And now, made with milk, not water … Not-So-Live-Blogging “The ...

Don doll–WANT
Adorable, right? The photos were sent to me from Jared Isle, with the following explanation: We (DraftFCB) were tasked with promoting the third season of Mad Men here in New Zealand. We’re huge fan(atic)s, but the show is chronically low rated here. One of the things we decided to do, ...

Hammy lunch stuff
I have to say that this was such a relaxing experience. Yes, Jon is dazzlingly handsome; he has looks, presence, sparkling eyes, and the same deep voice that Rachel Menken found so reassuring. But I think I speak for all of us when I say that the starstruck quality was almost instantly gone, and ...

Mad About Gossip: January Jones @ GQ Men of the Year Party
WOW. Can we say gorgeous? Here is January Jones working the red carpet at GQ’s Men of the Year Party. If you remember, Jon Hamm actually made their number one list this year! He unfortunately didn’t attend, sadly, as he was occupied propositioning himself to Roberta. It’s okay ...

We had lunch today with Jon Hamm
So here’s how it happened. Many moons ago, approximately seven moons ago, we posted about a charity auction for the Adrienne Shelly Foundation. If you take a look at the comments on that post, you will notice one very interested seagirl. Seagirl, (whose name will remain seagirl through the ...
