I feel like I almost found my thread.  I have read so much commentary on this beloved program that I suppose I'M crazy not to fawn over Mad Men, but I can't bear any of the allegedly complex characters.  Everyone else's escapism with that show just feels like wallowing in the worst.

"…he's Al Capone with a colostomy bag."

Boreman's "Point Break" is still my favorite take on the Parker novels

I firmly believe the show rewards you for everything, the first major deposit was the ending of the pilot, and if you are about to start season 4-7, get ready to reap the bounty.

@avclub-4b97b5ad9d466de90e5d901c0557b21a:disqus  I felt bad for him because after working with Spike Lee he said "Ok, I mean it this time, NO MORE RACIST Southerners after working with the great Spike Lee"

@avclub-3b4206840686bf0aab3032155dc2042a:disqus you make a lot of great points.  Not undermining the list of worse crimes, but those are bullet points to me, and I guess I admire the family units that worked things out together with the least amount of hypocrisy.  What strikes me the most is, by the end of the series,…

my favorite Randy Quaid movie

I'm a concerned citizen Whose 4 the Mare

I grew up in Texas, so Hypercolors only worked their magic wherever you were gushing sweat from the bus ride.  No one had the Janet Jackson Rolling Stone effect.  Maybe you needed to be wearing Freezy Freakies?

might I introduce you to Kevin Hyatt?

We'll have plenty of time in the future to discuss the mighty Kavanaugh, but you make it clear that only the Strike Team could bring down the Strike Team.

Well this season certainly has one of my favorite Dutch moments (a succession of them), where everyone gathers in the TV room with popcorn.  Vic almost heals the riff in the aftermath, but it doesn't take long for Vic to make things black and white (basketball tickets for my friends, missing chairs and ho-hos for my…

"Representative of All the Good People of Farmington"  - - HA!

I do believe it was the same Ronnie,  and he simply finally had the opportunity to step up. He was just 3rd or 4th in line.  All the characters got stronger as the seasons went on

the eagles, featuring fleetwood mac, performing the songs of wilco

we just double featured this with Miller's Crossing.  Man deserves a star on the Whimper Walk of Fame

Mayhaps I can interest you in some Curtis Mayfield Hot Pants?

CAFE!!!
