MAD MEN... Fun piks inside & *spoilers*

I have enjoyed the series for the nostalgia factor alone. In the early years I thought the writing was exceptional but then it became redundant. This may have been because AMC didn't finance a production budget and it limited creative choices.

I should have stopped watching long ago, but will stick it out to the end.

Btw, I have the Joan doll.

DH and I recently changed our DISH package and I no longer get AMC. Years ago I would have had a meltdown at the thought of missing this show, but right now I'm not event that bothered by it. I know one day soon enough I can watch it on Netflix or something and that's good enough for me.

Side note: this winter I binged on Sons of Anarchy, and the girl who plays Tara looked SO familiar to me. I finally found out she was previously on Mad Men, but I can't remember who she played. Does anyone know? I looked up her character name on IMDB and it didn't ring any bells.

I'm both extremely excited and also super sad because I love this show so dearly! I didn't start watching until I think S2 but eventually caught up, and I have all the DVDs so I've watched the subsequent seasons more than once, and I have been watching the episodes on AMC Sunday mornings when those air. Assuming my guide is correct, it looks like AMC is starting a marathon around 12:30am EDT Sunday, so I have that set ready to go and will end up watching most of the past year or so while I'm around tomorrow.

Finally it's back - so sad it's the last few episodes. Those dolls are too awesome.

Aaah, yes, now I remember!! Thank you so much!

I'm so excited! I can't wait!

Thanks so much for those photos of the dolls. I'm also a newcomer to watching the show-didn't start watching it until a few months ago and then binge watched all of the seasons on Netflix. I loved the first few seasons-such excellent writing and character development. And then the writing just fizzled out-I wondered about that and now I know thanks to this thread it's because AMC didn't finance a production budge.

I did continue to watch because I love seeing the styles of clothing and the incredible attention to detail that is on that show. There are fashions and products that I remember having in my house or using that I've long forgotten pop up on the show-that is such fun!

Although the show has really declined from the strong story development of the first 3-4 seasons, I'm still interested enough to see how it all turns out, so I'll be watching along with all of you.

Debbie in MD. 

I really enjoyed it. Don seemed so troubled last night. Will this cause him to reevaluate his life, or just bang more women? I think he will just bang more women.

So did Roger pay that waitress $100 for sex at the beginning of the episode and then Don gave her another $100 for sex later? Or did the waitress only have sex with Don because she thought she owed him for the $100 tip Roger gave earlier and he was there to collect?

And am I correct that that is the mom of the Cullen family from Twilight?

Skipping over spoilers as we can't watch Madmen... but dang those Barbies are cool! going to add them to my wish list. <sigh>

THANK YOU! I could not figure out where I recognized her from.
I was a little disappointed in Don - not the show - last night. I was hoping for maybe some personal growth, but he seems to be backsliding big time. I am hopeful for Peggy though

I have the Joan Barbie

I loved the episode, I just love lust after Jon Hamm. I've been a MM fan since the beginning and am sad to see it end. I have no idea what they are going to do to wrap it up but I know it will be good.
