Special Patrol Group—I don't suppose you're also the one that correctly points out that whales are, in fact, mammals every time someone makes an (admittedly hackneyed) fish joke about them? Or has to remonstrate that a light year is a unit of distance whenever it is colloquially misused? You are right about decades,…

'Arrested Development' and 'Tim and Eric' are truly the emperors of comedy!
inasmuch as they neither one have clothes.

And the telltale sign of Arrested Development's greatness?
If "it looks like it was fun as hell to make" is a a telltale sign of greatness, it's time to ree-valuate 'The Cannonball Run'.

Sterling Cooper was operating with a lot of unnecessary expenses—some client related, some not—that nobody had ever scrutinized before. That's what Lane does (again, note how he crunched the numbers so well on the fly)—he knows how to make the money work efficiently in a way that Roger, Bert, and Don have never paid…

Midge is gone. She hitched a ride out to Frisco with some hipsters. They danced down the streets like dingledodies, and she shambled after as she's been doing all my life after people who interest her, because the only people for her are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved,…

Roger was definitely smoking at the bar—but spotting Don's potential illness may be a real coup. It was a laugh line earlier but when Roger's old flame said she lost her husband to lung cancer the camera cut to a conspicuously self-conscious Don lighting up. Given the way the series began, and how deliberate the show…

But she's not even leaving him for being unfaithful—she's been aware, though at times only vaguely, of his extracurricular activities for years. It's the realization, on top of everything else that he is literally not the man she thought he was, and furthermore that she no longer loves him that has her seeking a…

Can anyonw explain what this so-called "Marcya" is up to? Is it code?

"Her apartment was messy"—a very nice touch by the way.

"Oh, I. I got a funny feeling when she walked
In the room and I, As I recall it ended much too soon."

"Possession is nine-tenths of the law"—And if Joan is the only one who knows where everything is or how the office worked from day to day, how is anyone going to ever prove what belonged to whom?

No question, it's a double standard, but the fact that "She hasn't slept with Henry" doesn't mean she hasn't been unfaithful in an important way. Screwing a stranger in a bar bathroom, is one thing—sharing an illicit correspondence is something else again. Don's first question of Roger, the typically male "are they…

It doesn't seem to be rooted in the surreal quasi Cold War spy milieu that the original was, but rather in a kind of post "W" surveilance, propoganda, bread and circuses dystopia. Could work, but manage all those expectations away from McGoohan.

What do you mean "would be"? Carla is raising those kids—while their whiny narcissistic parents pursue their instant gratification and gather chips against each other, who's with them at the park? Who's making them eat their salad and pouring them chocolate milk?

Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone?

And Betty also was wearing (the) pants (in the family) last night.

Sterling Cooper's been at a loss for a decent art department sionce Sal was fired, but I don't think he would just drop everything to return to SC or to the new SCDP—the latter he couldn't do anyway, because their biggest client is still Lucky Strikes. I think Joan kind of knows about Sal—they shared a theatrical kiss…

I'm sure they mentioned Don's age last season—I remember because it's the same as my own, and all I could think was dammit, why am I not that suave, sexy and successful? The short answer is because I am more of Paul Kinsey than a Don Draper.

"she never forgave him"

"somewhat disposable characters"
