Mad Men Season 3, It's nearly here!!


Season 3 of MAD MEN is coming on Sunday. I can't wait to see where we find the cast this fall. I have been impatiently waiting for this moment. What is going to happen?

What of Don and Betty? What did she tell him at the kitchen table that night? "I'm Pregnant." Too easy. "I had an affair." Unheard of. "I wan't a divorce." I can't imagine that. I'm unsure exactly howthey're going to haul in the strings they left us dangling on at the end of last season.

What of Pete, alone in the office with his rifle? Surely he can't kill himself off! Whom else will I hate then? Wait a minute, I forgot...Duck is the new Ass in my book. If I remember right, I was left feeling a little sorry for Pete.

How is Peggy going to shake off this annoying Preist, Father Gill? It seems he is becoming a real thorn in her side. Her underhanded sister, Anita, seriously bugs me. No beating around the bush about the sibling rivalry here.

I want more of Joan. More, more, more. My absolute favorite scene of hers so far, and there are many, is when she shames and humiliates Paul Kinsey nearly to


death.

Joan: "Mr. Kinsey? Is something wrong?"

Paul: "I'm avoiding you, or haven't you noticed that after three days?"

Joan: "Are you worried about the typewriter? I'm not going to tell anyone, although
you were so brazen you don't deserve clemency."

Paul: "what'd you say to Sheila?"

Joan: "Who?"

Paul: "Sheila. My Girlfriend."

Joan: "Describe her to me."

Paul: "Very Funny."

Joan: "I know what's first on the list."

Paul: "Oh My God, I knew you were a lot of things..."

Joan: "I'm not a phoney."

Paul: "You're so proud."

Joan: "It's so obvious why you're seeing her. A supermarket checkout girl?
conversation must be stimulating. 'Lettuce costs a nickle.'"

Paul: "What a relief. You're just jealous."

Joan: "Because you're the one who got away? You, out there in your poor little
rich boy apartment in Newark or wherever, walkin' around
with your pipe and your beard, fallin' in love with that girl just to show
how interesting you are...Go ahead, what part is wrong?"


That was the BEST BURN of all time. You could actually feel paul seething!

Well, I'm looking forward to Sunday along with a slew of other Mad Men lovers. It's hard to keep something so darn perfect to yourself!

I Heart MAD MEN!!



I am sooooo excited about the second season of amc's "Mad Men", Sunday 7/27/08 at 9 pm. I've been impatiently waiting long enough. What a perfect show! If you are going to watch anything at all this summer, this show has got to be it. I was seriously worried that amc wouldn't give us a second season but they've obviously got someone smart enough to know when he/she/they've been smacked in the head with something fantastic. amc seems to be kicking some serious ass this year with excellent programming like "Breaking Bad" (Bryan Cranston; Aaron Paul) and of course, this one.


I am quite pleased! Oh, and by the way, I'm not the only one who thinks amc is doing wonderfully. They raked in the most Emmy nominations for any basic cable network. "Breaking Bad"(John Hamm; Christina Hendricks) pulled in four nominations and "Mad Men" fully stomped ass with sixteen nominations!


I am literally counting the hours until I can pull out my trusty old clicker, plump up my kick back pillows and zone in on the best danged show since "Sopranos" (which still garners the number one spot in my heart as my favorite tv show of all time...so far anyhow)

My favorite character has got to be "Joan", played to the hilt, and perfectly I might add, by Christina Hendricks. She can wear the living hell out of those rocking 60's dresses and honest to God makes them look like a brand new style! If anyone can bring a look back, she would be the one to do it. Talk about stunning. I honestly can't wait to see what she's wearing in season 2.
