Mad Men - Tumblr Posts

I love love love this shot, but I also love that in the moving version you can see Robert Morse pretty clearly being like "Where's my mark? Oh, there it is."

Also, good call by some commenters on Sepinwall's review:

"...every character was completely in a window frame except Don."

"Don is actually partly in one window and partly in another window. How's that for symbolism?"

This is, without question, the finest piece of journalism I have ever read.

With the legendary series drawing to a close, the men and women who made “Mad Men” possible have come together to discuss how the show began. Here, for the first time ever, is the complete and authoritative oral history of “Mad Men.”

Matthew Weiner (series creator): It was 2006, and I had just been fired from The Sopranos for writing an episode where every single character dies on a roller coaster. I had been toying with the idea for Mad Men for a number of years, and since I was currently out of work, I figured I would try pursuing it in earnest. I sat down and wrote all seven seasons of Mad Men in about four hours.

Ed Carroll (President, AMC Networks): At that time, the only thing airing on AMC was a show called Broderick Names Them Roderick, which was a reality show about Matthew Broderick holding divorced men at gunpoint and forcing them to change their legal name to Roderick against their will. We aired this show 24 hours a day. Needless to say, we were looking for some original programing.

Matthew Weiner: I walked into Ed Carroll’s office without knocking, and I said, “What about a show where it’s Don Draper, baby?”

Ed Carroll: Matt just stood in my office excitedly repeating the phrase “It’s Don Draper, baby!” over and over again. I had no idea what Don Draper was, but I said to Matt, “You’ve got yourself a show.”

Matthew Weiner: The next step was to get a cast together.

Jon Hamm (Don Draper): Yes. I am Hamm. I read the script of Mad Men. I knew that I wanted to be the main star. The secret man who drinks at work. I loved him. I called Matthew Weiner and I told him, “I love this script. I love the main star. Hamm must be Draper. It has to be Hamm.”

Breaking out a good pick up line is an art. When you come across a good one, like a really good one, then it's pretty spectacular.

Some of the ones in this Mad Men montage are kinda corny. But if they were delivered that smoothly and confidently, then yeah. I'd bite. 

Ooooooooooooooooh!!!!
