Mad Men returns. Thumbs up or down?

He's very wealthy.

 

I guess I'm weird. There isn't enough money in the world to make him attractive. And the sideburns really don't help.

 

It makes me wonder how much the Dykeman family legacy still boosts Pete or if it's just the wealth now. For a long time, it didn't matter if he was rich or not. He was part of the Dykeman family and that was enough.

 

When I said "wealthy," I didn't mean he was making enough on his own for that stature. Sterling-Cooper-Draper-Pryce still isn't flourishing, and Campbell is a junior partner. He makes enough to be rich. Trudy has the money required to be wealthy.

 

It's the sideburns. But he has a retreating hairline, by 1975 he'll be bald.

Obvious juxtaposition of how Pete handles infidelity and Don does it. As Mrs Abbott said, Pete deserves a stalker.

 

It's been wracking my brain ... who plays Brenda? She looks familiar.

 

Collette Wolfe from Cougar Town and Hot Tub Time Machine (with Jessica Pare). You might recognize her as Pete's ex-girlfriend in a recent episode of The Office.

 

Collette Wolfe - stunning

Yep. The Office. Knew I had seen her in something recently. Thanks.

 

Her at the Campbells, not so much.

As out of touch Don appears in every scene now, its getting painful. He's sooooo not with it. You'd think that someone of his means would at least try something new in his wardrobe; a turtleneck at least?

They did a nice job of making Megan look really awful in her robe.

 

Trudy Campbell picked out the ugliest couch I've ever seen.

And how much did it cost to get a remote with a TV in 1968? I imagine an arm and a leg. I don't think my family had a remote until the late 1980s. Our VCR had a remote with a wire.

 

I remember that 'remote', thats why we called it a 'clicker', because when you press it,you hear the clicking sound.
