Mad Men: R.I.P. Bert Cooper

Bert Cooper (Robert Morse) goes out in style on Mad Men.

To paraphrase Elizabeth Barrett Browning —  Robert Morse, how do I love the? Let me count the ways.

Mad Men: Don Draper is dead!

Don faces Sally as he shows her where he grew up in the season finale of Mad Men.

Don Draper has finally come clean and it took a Hershey bar to make him do it.

The first episode of this season’s Mad Men started with Don reading Dante’s Inferno on the beach. The last episode, titled “In Care Of,” ended with him hitting rock bottom. A great cliffhanger to set up the show’s final season.

At times it was painful to watch as Don plowed through the nine levels of hell — limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud, and treachery.

Mad Men: Dandy Dom

How about a round of humiliate the hostess?

50 ways to leave your lover? Make that 51. Pretend your a Dom, Don, and get yourself free.

In last night’s episode of Mad Men, “Man with a Plan,” Don Draper concocted a beautiful plan to dump his mistress.

We figured it would be coming. In the season opener, Don told Sylvia that his wish for the new year was for “this” to stop. The way he did it though was unexpected, but in true fashion for a man battling his way through Purgatorio.

Mad Men: The heat is on

Don and Roger share a “moment.”

I haven’t posted anything in a couple weeks about Mad Men. That’s because lately the show was as fluffy and lightheaded as Peaches,”the apple that goes in the pig’s mouth.” Great line, Marie. And give it up for Peaches and her puppies!

Diehard fans were waiting, hoping that something, anything would happen, and then last night POW! As Ralph Kramden would say, “Right in the kisser, Alice!

Mad Men: Dandy Don

AMC lets you create “yourself” in a Mad Men scenario. This is “me” and Don – heh.

“Sometimes, you gotta dance with the one that brung ya.” And sometimes you gotta do the Lambada with your neighbor’s wife.

The haunted world of Don Draper is heating up in season six of Mad Men. He’s become so good at telling and living lies, that as the war explodes on the airwaves, there is the impending sense that Dandy Don’s life is about to explode too.

In last night’s episode, The Collaborators, Don continues to be the ultimate “Yes Man” with his wife. When Megan asks if he would like to have children, he says sure, whatever she wants, which is the last thing he wants.

Don no longer cares enough about Megan to disagree, argue, or fight with her, which we all know is an integral part of a normal relationship (hey now). It’s easier for Don to just smile vacuously and nod like a bobblehead doll.
