It's funny you should mention Mad Men w/o Draper because it seems that this season is a lot more Don-centric than the last two. The other characters don't seem to get much screen time unless they are interacting with Draper. I guess they are trying to get Hamm an emmy.

Not like he doesn't deserve one. Not like any of them don't deserve one. I consider myself so lucky to have gotten on board the "Mad Men" bus from the beginning. I never hardly watch AMC, and I don't quite know how I caught this show from the start, but I did, and I'm glad.
I don't think I'd even mind if, in one episode, they all break out in a Bollywood (ala "Slumdog Millionaire" - at the end of the movie), or "Grease" musical number, and dance and sing around the office. I really think I'd admire a move like that - just out of the goddamn blue.

With Bryan Cranston out of the running for the Emmy next year (since the new season of Breaking Bad will not be airing before awards season), the episode should be more then enough to get Hamm the Emmy. His performance this season has been incredible (and the show as a whole has been fantastic considering the game changer last season, I am truly impressed).

Something akin to "The Milton Plaza" commercial years back. "The Milton Plaza is that lullaby of old New York!"

I love the Sirk films and that whole look and era.

I remember my first introduction to it was that my brother heard good things, and so we all saw the season 2 premiere. I was like "What the hell is this?" and was not interested solely for the fact that I don't like jumping in without having seen every ep before that. So I exited like 20 minutes in, and thought Don's character was a closeted gay man based on his actions (yes, Don, not Sal)....now looking back I must have been out of it or something. Later that year I bought Season 1 cheap online during the Black Friday deals, and was hooked.
