Mad Men Season 4

I just finished Season One. I'm watching Season Two right now.

 

Same boat. I'm glad I read on this board how douchey it is for a 20-something to watch this show and want to go out and buy suits and drink scotch. Because I was totally going to be that guy.

 

You can be a douchey 20-something without the suits and scotch.

 

But I won't be *that* type of douche. I wouldn't want to be so common.

 

The first two seasons build the foundation. The damn thing absolutely
takes wing a skooch into Season III (Episode 3, the Derby Party episode) and
enters the stratosphere, from there.

 

Fur suuure. Just peak into any bottle-service joint patrolled by bullet-headed
bouncers.

 

Obvious blue font. We all know RickStain would view scotch as a luxury item and not in his budget.

 

I'm starting to butt up against the edge of my budget right now, and I like all the stuff I have too much to give anything up, so I'm applying for some part-time jobs to work on my days off. I think I just failed the McDonald's hiring exam online, because they said they would contact me if I were to be considered for employment, but I never gave them contact information.

 

I'm playing catchup before Sunday's premiere and am a bit underwhelmed with Season 3 two shows in.

The storyline seems jumpy and I don't care for the Brits ... then again, I still have 11 episodes to go.

 

If they do end this in 1969, either the Mets, Jets or the Moon I'm guessing would be involved.

 

It picks up somewhat with the third episode and episode 5 on are all top notch.

I also suggest reading Alan Sepinwall's old blog as a companion after you finish an episode -- he has great insights, as do most of his commenters.

 

It's not douchey at all.

It's called being a grown-up.

The show is helping bring back manhood.
