Desperate Housewives actress Kathryn Joosten has reached out to Mad Men producers because she wants a health warning to air before each episode! Joosten, a former smoker and lung cancer survivor, thinks the show glamorizes smoking. 
Kiernan Shipka, who plays little Sally Draper, was recently interviewed by Chicago Tribune's Maureen Ryan. I was pretty tickled by how mature she sounded and frankly, just amused by the idea of someone that young doing press for a mature show.

The 63rd annual British Academy of Film and Television Awards (BAFTAs) were held last weekend and "Mad Men" took away the prize for Best International Show. It was nominated against "Nurse Jackie," "Family Guy" and "True Blood." That's an eclectic group of shows, huh?

If I could work in any TV office, I think it would be the writer's room at 30 Rock! Places like Dunder Mifflin would just get downright irritating. I love watching Dwight and Micheal on the screen, but in real life, I'd probably go postal.

ThisWeekIn Network is proud to present the debut of our new series, "This Week in Mad Men," discussing all the goings-on in Season 4 with our panel of "Mad Men" aficionados and experts. See it here:
http://thisweekin.com/madmen Our first episode dealt with the Season 4 premiere, as well as our predictions for the rest of the season, our Don Draper-style slogan pitches and, of course, copious amounts of drinking. Topics discussed include: - Who is Don Draper? Don started the series all effortless cool, a guy who had it all - the envy of all men and irresistible to women. He's pretty much the complete opposite now. Awkward, volatile, depressed (and depressing). It's hard to imagine first-season Don wanting a woman to slap him in bed, or awkwardly moving in for a kiss on a first date, or misfiring during an interview so badly that his attempt to be humble and gracious makes him look "like a prick." It's like he's back to being Dick Whitman and has to start the transformation into Don Draper all over again, from scratch. The episode ends with him basically deciding to fake it, to try to be the old Don Draper even if he knows he hasn't got it any more and can't just slip into the character effortlessly like he once did. There was a twinge of desperation to the act, particularly how he felt the need to add in the lie about having a second story. Maybe Betty and his relationship with her, and his family, was more integral to the Draper persona than he realized? - Peggy and the Ham - Betty's marriage to Henry...will it last? - Where's the rest of Team Sterling Cooper? - The Use of "Tobacco Road" Hosts include Lon Harris, Jacob Burch, Jaime Fox and Jason McIntyre. |

Ha! If you haven't read this yet, check out Green-Arrow's latest entry on our Mad Men Blog:
http://www.madmenshow.com/page/Mad+Men+Blog So, the John Deere Massacre of 1963 *wasn't* an odd bit of product placement. I honestly thought they approved it! BTW, the warning label is brilliant and I'm seriously thinking about printing a few of them on some sticker sheets and putting them on our lawn mower. |

US President John F. Kennedy established many fashion trends,
along with his wife Jackie, as we are reminded of in this fabulous TV series Mad Men. Arguably, no president, or presidental couple has before or since, influenced to that degree. The producers have gone to great lengths and dilligence in bringing forth that atmosphere. It was a very dynamic period in history. Among the many things Kennedy is famous for, is NOT wearing a hat. I had heard that at the time, he caused quite a stir. And of course the mens fashion industry, particularly hat manufacturers didn't like that. Consperacy theorest, can run with that one. |
