Mad Men

Nebb

Can we please talk about mad men? I want to talk about mad men. I dont care what about it we talk about. I just want to talk about it.

TLo (link) has been driving me abslutely crazy with their Mad Style posts. They did a teaser ysterday after getting a screener of ep. 1 and I am losing my shiit im so excited.

PLEASE talk to me about mad men.

I'm game. I was watching reruns last week of the ones that I fell asleep in when we watched them the first time. I have to make sure I remember what happened. The break has been much too long.

I saw a poster as I was walking by the Gap the other day.  Apparently, Gap is doing a casting call for Mad Men.  I thought of you.

I am SO freaking excited!!! Though I'm bummed because H's bff is staying with us until next week, so I probably won't be able to watch the season premiere on Sunday. We live in a one-bedroom apartment, and if the guys aren't using the TV, they'll be in the loft loudly playing video games. We can't have both things on at once otherwise you can't hear either one. I'll have to try really hard not to read spoilers until I can catch the episode!

I hate how short the season is and how long it is between seasons. I never thought sunday would ever get here, ive been waiting since october. Ive heard that peggy is pretty sassy now, I cant WAIT to see that!

Nebb

We're raiding my aunts house (she has satellite) on sunday night to watch it, and im so excited ill get to watch it in real time for the first time in 2 years. The general tv provider here doesnt carry AMC.

FI and I JUST started watching it! There was a piece on my local NPR about how careful they are about lingo- it was interesting and you can hear it here- it's only about 9 min, but worth a listen, if you're a fan.

So far I'm mostly loving the clothing, also the kids playing in plastic bags, moms smoking/drinking, no seatbelts, etc!

So I was looking at that link, Nebb. 

THis guy: http://tinyurl.com/2857gnl

looks even more creepy out of character, and I didn't realize that was possible. He creeps me out, in a (young) dirty old man kind of way. 

Nebb

Seriously, I think it is one of the best shows on tv now. It is so absolutely spot on with plot, personalities, wardrobe, sets. It is just so incredible. Its like a throw back but the story is so compelling. It just sucks you right in. Its just such an amazing how, please just watch it straight through, dont skip to this season.

Hah, he always looks so gungy at EVERY event I ever see him at. He doesnt bother to dress up and shave. T-Lo did a review of the mad men premier on tuesday and it was absolutely hilarious with their summary of what everyone looked like by what they were wearing.

Seriously, I know ive been talking about TLo a lot, but their reviews of the show are AWESOME and they put so much effort into their posts. It is such a pleasure reading their reviews after episodes air.

SarahPLiz

Im glad you shared the link. I am enjoying their commentary.

I just found the Season 3 finale in my TiVO suggestions. Watching it right now. 

Nebb

You havnt seen it?!?

SarahPLiz

I saw it, but I don't remember all the details, so I'm watching it again. We watched them all downloaded from somewhere to our TiVO and FI always wanted to watch like 3 at a time, late at night. I always fell asleep for some part, even though I love the show. 

Nebb

I used to watch it on ninjavideo, it is still aggrivating me that they got shut down. The last 2 episodes of the season are just absolutely epic, I loved them.

I swear to god if jon hamm doesnt win an emmy for his performance this year, i will lose it. He is incredible.

kimheartsscott

My best friend wants to borrow the first season and start watching but I secretly don't want her to incase her dog chews up my lighter case.  You have Netflix, use it damnit!

I follow Rich Sommer on twitter and he is really excited, keeps saying this season is amazing.  Yay!  He tweeted this the other day, which was pretty funny.

I dont think I could lend out my mad men dvds either. Theyre MINE.

Knittibell

I won't skip! I missed the beginning, so we've waited for it to acquire some seasons, since from what we've heard, we'll go through them really fast!

Nebb

Its pretty addicting. We caught the first season after it came out on dvd and we watched it in about a week. The finale of season 1 will SHOCK you!!!

Knittibell

SWEET!!

I love a good shock, when it's not in real life.

kimheartsscott

New season + new and improved Mad Men Yourself = new avatar for Kim.

Nebb

Im never happy with my result when I mad men myself

kimheartsscott

My Mad Men Yourself always turns out sluttier and skinnier than real me. 

Nebb

I always feel bad not making my mad men person as fat as i am in real life, and then im always disappointed how frumpy it ends up looking. I always look like peggys sister.

kimheartsscott

I just cheat.  "Well, I plan on being that skinny again one day..." 

Nebb

I plan on being skinny but im very doubtful it will happen.

My shadow on a door yesterday was all distorted but I looked so thin, it made me happy. I like my shadow.

MarriedInAFever

I will be drinking an Old Fashioned and watching. I can't wait.

Mine too, in a way. I just re-proportion myself a la Joan (read: less booty, more boobs), which is totally cheating. ;)

SO ready for this!!

There was a small fight in my house of MadMen vs Entourage but I won. We are dvr-ing enourage
