Mad Men Season 4

There was an ATM machine at Suburban Bank on Route 1 in College Park Maryland in 1980. It was across the street from the 'Vous.

 

Don and Dick were both in this episode. He's starting to confuse the two, I think

 

I don't see how anyone could say this wasn't one of the best episodes in series history. Don and Peggy were just incredible.

 

Almost 50 years after Peggy left her boyfriend and family sitting at dinner, that scene is still played out today, over and over, for women who really just prefer to work, women whose families and mates just don't get it. I can't count how many times I chose work--or was forced to choose work--over a holiday, a birthday, a friend, a dinner, a vacation. Broke my heart to wonder what that would have been like in 1965, when it was utterly unheard of.

Equally poignant, Peggy telling Don that everyone assumed she got her job by sleeping with him. Fifty years later....not much has changed.

The stories she could tell today, at 81 years old.

 

Here's the scene with the great line;

Peggy: "You never say thank you!"

Don: "That's what the money's for"

Maybe one of the best scenes in the first four seasons so far

My liver hurts just watching those people drink.

 

Actually, she would be 71 today. She was celebrating her 26th birthday in 1965, meaning she was born in 1939.

My mother is a few years younger than what Peggy would be, yet, she worked from right out of high school in department stores, and as a company bookkeeper in the 1960s. Looking at Peggy, I've often wondered if my mom had to deal with the same BS that Peggy did in that decade.

 

Don sez: "There will be fat years, and there will be lean years ... but it will always rain."

any Jews on MadMen?

 

They have their own agencies.

 

Grey was a notorious Jewish house, for decades.

 

I was hoping someone would say this. It was so good I was jumping off my couch like it was a football game.
This season has been unbelievable.
Year three was unbelievable.
Year one was unbelievable.
Year two was merely excellent, just to make you appreciate when the show really hits it out of the park.
