"And what's this Freud shit?!" - Turn of the Century Jerry Seinfeld. 

@avclub-3be42d8a3412057f79af152555e39bd4:disqus: I think Matthew all but said "I'm secretly a time traveler and let me tell you that is a stupid-ass idea." and later Grantham hears that it didn't go well for his friend who signed up or something like that.

I used to work at an entertainment/style magazine, and one day Katherine Heigl came up in conversation in the bull pen. As soon as her name was mentioned, our Creative Director (who has a lot of industry connections) comes walking out of his office and tells us a story Robert Zemeckis told him.

So, Mad Men's part of the Timmy Westphall universe?

I love your way of breaking down the seasons, very spot on. Personally I've viewed the series a lot like this, for reasons somewhat similar:
