Mad Men Under the Bed Mad Men Season 5 Episode 4 recap Not as many beds are made with space underneath anymore. All the platform beds and Ikea frames and whatnot mean the bed's on the floor. Apparently, it's to keep the secrets from piling up under there. I can' By Duana • Apr 09, 2012 12:18 pm
Mad Men It was all a bit much Mad Men Season 5 Episode 3 recap Wasn't it? I mean, I get it.

Mad Men It means "Oh! Kiss Kiss" Mad Men Season 5 Episode 1-2 recap All over Google this morning, people are discovering that “zoobeezoobeezoo” is, in fact "Zou Bisou Bisou", a legit French pop song, and then happily humming it to themselves as they go about their Monday.

Mad Men Dog Days Are Over - Mad Men Season 5 Preview #3 The wait is finally over, and Sunday is a two-hour reintroduction to the world of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce.

Mad Men Mother, Daughter. Like? - Mad Men Season 5 Preview #2 Click here for preview #1. I just googled “Did Rare Steak Exist In The 60s?” (Answer - not really, except for “barbarians”). This was mainly due to how much I’m enjoying my leftovers-lunch, but as I turned my thoughts to Mad Men, I started thinking about what else I By Duana • Mar 16, 2012 02:24 pm
Girly Throw Downs Becoming Peggy - Mad Men Season 5 Preview #1 With Mad Men finally, finally at a reachable distance and with such a long time since we checked in with our crew at SCDP, I wanted to remind myself where we are with all our characters.

Mad Men Jon Hamm: Mad Men in March Why am I the asshole who thought that Mad Men would be back this month? It won’t. Not until March 25 per Jon Hamm who revealed the date during a podcast even though AMC hasn’t confirmed it. Was he supposed to say? I’m not sure. But it’ By Lainey • Jan 11, 2012 03:54 pm
Mad Men The AfterMadth Written by Duana (I certainly hope you groaned at the worst pun I’ve ever made) So – the deal is done! Mad Men is happening! Matthew Weiner’s reported $25-30 million is actually spread over three years, instead of two – so while Seasons 5 and 6 are guaranteed - imagine By Lainey • Apr 01, 2011 08:21 am
Mad Men What’s Your Price? Written by Duana Nikki Finke is reporting that talks between AMC and Matthew Weiner might be disintegrating. There are three items of contention: 1) Product placement 2) Shortening the show by two minutes – enough to fit one more commercial break and 3) losing two cast members in an effort to By Lainey • Mar 29, 2011 03:39 am
Mad Men Whither Mad Men? Written by Duana So the panicky panicky news yesterday was that negotiations surrounding Mad Men are at such a standstill that the show may not come on until 2012.

Mad Men Who Do You Know? Written by Duana I don't think it’s an accident that so many guys are in love with Sally Draper. Not in a creepy way, but ask the average 30 something male Mad Men viewer and he will talk about Sally Draper with a sort of sad affection, By Lainey • Oct 11, 2010 06:48 am
Quiveration French Riviera Lighting Whatever is happening today in Cannes, it’s producing beautiful photographs, goddamn. Not that it’s a challenge to shoot Jon Hamm, of course not.

Mad Men When You Are Engulfed In Flames Written by Duana It’s not a Mad Men reference, it’s a David Sedaris one. But it might well have worked for this week’s episode.
