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.

I've tried to look up and down to find interviews or quotes from Matt Weiner discussing the impetus and origin of Don Draper - when writing the pilot, before the show and before his work on Sopranos.
Where does someone come up with the idea for such an amazing layered character?
I'm trying to find similar inspiration for my own pilot.
Is it safe for me to say the got the idea from The Great Gatsby?

the person of Don Draper is a soldier,with barely a famiy raised by cold,strict people; he never hardly HAD ANY FAMILY.the key to Draper is the faceless man;no one loves.,"family" so uncaring,after the war,he escaped from them;stole someones name,or made one up.his first wie was freaked cause he hides hmself completely.Draper is the empty,self-invented no where man.he made up.a huge fake. "Don Draper"like an actor invents himself so his real insides are empty,alone,which is why hes becoming alcoholic,promiscuious,dead inside.Faulkner,or Tennesee Wlilams is where he's from..-much more tragic.

although don has continued his cheating ways in season six he has taken it one step further(worse) by cheating with his friends wife.i did not see that as somethng that would be in his character. is this his self destruction getting worse or are the writers losing the true essence of don draper? with pete and don both cheating in episode three it seems a little soap opera-ish which is not in keeping with the caliber of the show.

"or are the writers losing the true essence of don draper? " I think they've really changed Don in the last two seasons. I really liked when they would have all those little views into the life of Dick Whitman. Don doesn't even seem to care he might get caught impersonating someone else any longer. It wasn't that long ago that he was hyperventilating over the chance he might be found out. I haven't enjoyed the last two season very much -- ever since Megan got promoted out of the reception area. I think the Mad Men glory days are over.

has no one noticed that betty was sexually abused as a child by her father and her comments about sandy to her husband were related to her own childhood abuse? I found her comments to be out of character for her and suggest she may be having some form of meltdown or breakdown..has anyone made this connection?i have not read anything related on the chats or blogs.

I don't recall anywhere in the show where Betty was sexually abused by her father when she was a child, but I found her comments totally bizarre and wondering why something like that was written into the script.

What is this about? Barely heard anything up until Kenny mentioned it about Bob having a catering business.
My understanding is Bob hates his job and wants to move into Advertising.
Kenny doesn't like this or what?

Seriously, I do not get her character at all. Irrational retardation all over the map. Am I the only one who wants to shoot her face off?
She's acting as if she's been a saint throughout the whole marriage with Don. Sure she didn't cheat on him with another man (Though that is open for interpretation, some would say she did) but that's not the only way to inappropriately act in a relationship. She becomes more and more of a nightmare and continue to do things that would potentially leave mental scars on any child. Her children (well at least Sally) hates her and with good reason.
She can be as angry at Don as she wants but taking it out on the children just puts her higher and higher up on my list of TV characters that I hope will die in a huge fire. Ok that's not true, she's been at the very top since season 2 (currently at episode 5, season 4).
It doesn't matter that this was a different day and age, ******** are ******** no matter how or when they were raised, and she's not just acting that way due to the times. I really can't find anything to say in her defense. She's an empty and bitter person who is in no position to raise children.

I didn't mind "Betts" in the beginning of the series although I thought she was kinda neurotic...but she's like cold-bitter-saucy-***** 99% of the time and I hate the way she treats her kids...when Sally gets out of rehab 5 years from now she could tell her psychiatrist about her autobiography she's writing: Dropping Acid: My Mother Made Me Do It. Mommy Dearest indeed....

Hello everyone. I am a newly born Mad Men fan, and i need your help. I have to prepare a presentation about the series at my school, and i have to show a 5-10 minutes long clip from the series, i really want a clip that can catch the essence of Mad Men (booze, girls, the alter ego, etc) but i dont want to give away to much of the plot. Since i hope that my classmates will begin watching, and i dont want to spoil the story for them
So can anyone help me please? And it really would be helpfull if you guys could write the episode and season so i could find it more easily. Any proposal is welcome.
Thank you in advance. Jakob

I'm sure you can find some sort of video on youtube that combines various scenes from the show. Maybe a trailer for one of the seasons? Take your pick! Finding a specific clip that captures the essence of Mad Men will be very easy.

Jon Hamm is Batman!
Jon Hamm is an amazing actor. Kevin Smith has gone on record to MTV endorsing this guy for Batman. "He's always brooding on that show. He comes off like Bruce Wayne," said Smith. "That voice of his—the Don Draper voice—that's f---ing Batman!"
Here is a cool article written about the idea:
http://www.comicbookfilm.com/batman-reboot.html
I know that people bring up the age issue all the time, but I don't think it's that big of a factor.
I think that if Bruce Wayne were to pop out of the comic-book, he would look like Jon Hamm.
aprileshowers (posted this on IMDB back in July): The Mad Men writers have already referenced Don Draper as Batman as far back as season 1x03, "Marriage of Figaro," when Harry Crane says of Don: "Draper? Who knows anything about that guy? No one’s ever lifted that rock. He could be Batman for all we know."
In the same episode, Don is later gifted with a pair of knight cufflinks in continuum of the Dark Knight theme.
Psychologically, not only does Hamm evince the dark brooding of Batman, physically overall, with a superhero square jaw and a broad-chested 6'3" frame (Mad Men asks that he not build muscle mass since he portrays an office executive from the 1960's), he inspires reference to Superman, as well.
I'm on team: Jon Hamm for Batman! What about you?

I don't feel sorry for Betty she is nothing but a self righteous closet tramp. She paints herself as a victim when in fact she not. Anybody unfortunate to associated with her becomes the victim as her new hubby will find all too soon. I feel sorry for her children and she did Don a favor by forcing the divorce. What I really want to know is why haven't her treacherous ass moved out of Don's house?
