What gets me is how she hikes up her shoulders, stands up straight and sticks out her face the exact same way every time she goes to kiss Don. It seems like a real chore for the poor girl.

Rogers Aching Ticker - Yeah, I really liked Midge too, she and Rachel were the only two of Don's lovers who didn't seem pathetic or trashy. I was really pissed when they turned her into a junkie, I really just wanted to imagine her going off and being wonderful. I see your point about her beatnik friends, I just felt…

pork- Designers can add so much to a story and if they're really good no one notices.

Never having seen Gilmore Girls I don't really have a problem with her in this, she seems fine for the period. She doesn't sound any more modern to me than Betty or Rachel Mencken. Why do you say Midge didn't fit? This really surprises me as she like a bohemian artist of any period. The one I felt really didn't fit…

I think Michael is Don's antagonist, not a villain. They have established him as a man with no political skills but a decent guy who's actually right. His idea was appropriate for a children's soft drink and Don's sucked ass in every way. I saw Don as more villainous, instead of just saying we're going with the devil…

I forgot about that. While I was watching the show, it just went past me, I didn't think about the trip to California. Poor Sally, thinking that Megan just used and abandoned her in favor of her father. What a crappy thing for a child to deal with.

Maybe it's just because her character is more likeable, but I don't understand why people harp on how bad January Jones and Alexis Bleidel are but give Jessica Pare a pass. She's just as wooden. The scene where she was running lines with her friend was really well written. The line where she said something to the…

She said something like don't get used to it, there's going to be lots of crying and rejection. Not sure what that means. Auditions will be so trying she'll be too upset to cook and be perky, I guess.

I saw it as him admitting that he was instrumental in turning Betty into zombie Betty, but I see what you're saying.

So very young and pretty!

No, that's not it. I never watched Gilmore Girls and she really does seem too young to be married to that guy with 2 kids who are old enough to be elsewhere. Also the fact that he thinks it's hot to have a 24 year old mistress when his wife looks even younger.

That was the movie I was trying to remember. That's the only thing I've seen her in. It was weird enough that the men were all hideous and gross (except Clive Owen) while all of the low-down hookers and murders looked like they were posing for the cover of Maxim, I could buy it, it's a comic book, that's what they do.…

I felt the same way about the song at first. Why would Megan tell him to listen to that song when there was no way they were going to use it in an ad 45 years ago. It seemed like they just wanted to use the song and it's obvious symbolism and had Megan say "listen to this one" to explain why he wouldn't start at the…

So it was what really happens on the shows but in Somalia with a woman and a baby. Man, some things just don't need to be parodied. You couldn't make up something better than "prostitution whore." That's what's funny, like Fey doing Sarah Palin just using actual quotes from interviews. I'll have to watch The Soup more…

Can someone explain the joke about Liz and Virginia vacationing in Somalia. I loathe just about every single show on Bravo and I only know this because when I have attempted to watch reruns of House or the show with the fashion designers, I have to turn it off because their relentless commercials make me want to pound…

Here's the Kodak ad The song is called Turn Around

vanzettis sacco puppet -That Makes sense. Sally's always been had to be mature because the adults around her just weren't doing what they needed to do. She got drunk at an office party at age 7 because no one was paying attention.

The Carousel pitch had pictures of Betty, Don and the kids looking happy, something we hadn't seen all season, so it worked dramatically and I think it would have worked as an ad, like the Kodak, Where are you Going? ads from the 60s. That was the only idea on the show that worked as a real pitch. I would actually…

I thought your link would explain the title of the episode, but I still don't see how it all comes together. Sally had fish in a ballroom (with no staircase), that was all I got from it initially. The clip had the song title, the Shirley Temple, and a grown man socializing with a child, but it's just a goofy patter…

I did think of the Clorox ad, I really like the Clorox ad so I thought Megan's idea was great. It seems like the writer had a deadline and happened to see the Clorox ad, Bridesmaids, The Shining and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf at the same time while s/he was writing the script.
