EJ – Aww, poor Freddy Rumsen. We’ve got an episode set in early August of 1962, given the timing of Marilyn Monroe’s death. Time’s moving fast this season, and it would seem as if this episode takes place only a few days after the previous episode, or else it took […]

Mad Men Round Table: Season 2, Episode 8 – “A Night to Remember”
EJ I just want to say that I wish Joan had stayed in Harry’s department. Teaming up my two favorite characters on a regular basis… that would be the greatest spinoff ever. As for the joke of the week, it’s a tough heat. I was right, there is only one […]
