Bumping an old thread...but Mad Men-FINALLY-returns this Sunday night.

And I can't wait! Been watching some previous season episodes in anticipation. Wonder if Don and Betty reunite?

Same here! Great show!

I loved their walking dead promo!

[mredskins]

Any one watch?

Nothing ground breaking in the first show. Still I was entertained the whole two hours. I felt like I was just catching up with old friends. That is the power of those characters.

One dagger though, no Betty. God I need a Betty fix!

I watched it...hence my Zou Bisou Bisou title.

It was definitely a "let's get reacquainted" episode. Still it was pretty awesome. Loved when Roger Sterling went to Staten Island at 6am

Need my Betty fix too.

When Megan went out on the deck after Don gave her the "talk" about surprise parties. Did part of you think she was going to jump? I did.

Yeah for a second I thought so.

I completely thought that was going to happen!

Kiss kiss kiss etc.

My God, how soft they are!

Kiss kiss kiss etc.

The sound of kisses!

In the bushes, under the August sky

Lovers glide stealthily

Like birds, they have dates

Everywhere you hear:

Kiss kiss kiss etc.

My God, how soft they are!

But tell me, do you know

What that means, between us,

What does “zou bisou” mean?

It means, I confess to you,

But yes, I love only you!

Kiss kiss kiss etc.

My God, how soft it is!

But no need for bushes in the month of August

When you kiss me softly on the neck!

It’s funny, you see, I confess,

I feel it everywhere

Kiss kiss kiss etc.

My God, how soft it is!

Kiss kiss kiss etc.

Little kisses

Kiss kiss kiss

Yeah...still doesn't compare to Megan's performance.

I liked how you can see the definite change (set wise) to the late 60s, especially in Don's new apartment

School me on why I should be watching this show. Sounds a bit soap opera-ish the way you guys talk about it, lol. I've had it on my Netflix queue for a while now, just haven't pulled the trigger.

I think everyone who watches it can relate to someone in the show. Like for me I can see some of myself in Peter, he is torn between city "life" and now being a full time family man. I have fully embraced the ladder now but not so along ago it was a big adjustment for me and frankly anyone who just had their first child. Like in last night's episode his wife said when they were visiting Don in the city "god it is so loud here" and he mumbled "i know" like he missed it. Just little things like that draw you in.

I guess in away it is a soap opera but they seem to always do something that just blows your mind and it come out of no where.

I also think it brings to light just how powerful the AD world can be and this documents when it really started picking up steam.

My parents enjoy it a lot and I think they get a lot of nostalgia out of it. I like it to see them living in such a UN-political correct world.

It be a good summer program for you watch when nothing else is on and by the time you catch up this season will be on DVD.

Plus it is a great "wifey" show, to watch together. Actually some of the scenes are pretty hot and you may find yourselves pausing it for a "timeout". :cool-smil

Another great line from last night was during Don's "birthday gift". When Roger says to his young wife "why don't you dance like that for me" and she responded "why don't you look like him" (meaning Don). that made me laugh out loud.

Well, on an episode per episode basis not much seemingly happens but then when you look back over several episodes you realize a lot happens.

The way the episodes tend to sometimes end suddenly is part of what I like about it. The problems aren't nicely wrapped up in a bow at the end of the episodes.

The characters are almost all compelling, the protagonist "Don Draper" has arguably as many, if not more flaws, than anyone else. He's like Breaking Bad's Walt in many ways. The writing flows smoothly and there aren't many, if any, wasted dialogues.

I don't know what show to compare it to, but I highly highly recommend it.
