Wait a minute...I just realized something: if Don went back to McCann to produce the Coke spot, does that mean Meredith got her job back?!?
quote:We just now finished tonight. Amazing series although I will say I thought the Stan and Peggy thing was really forced. I would have rather seen a much more subtle get together that was more in line with the shows DNA. We've all seen it brewing in the background but the way they tied it up was very Sam and Diane sitcommish. Was WTF just like everyone else until the last scene. Brilliant.quote:
I watched the wire and most of sopranos after they had aired, caught up late with lost as I joined after the first 3 seasons (watched all eps before watching new ones live), started Breaking Bad the same way in between seasons 3 and 4.
I started Mad Men in the first season live. So it has been a slow burn all these years enjoying this amazing show.
I really think it's at the top for me, with a very close couple of shows below it. But due to the "traditional" (weird to say that as if it's almost no longer the norm) viewing of this series week to week, year to year... It just has a different nostalgic effect for me than the others.
What a phenomenal show. This one isn't replaceable in the Sunday night lineup.
Right there with you. I joined each of those shows (save for Lost, which I was with from day one) in almost the exact way. But with Mad Men, driving to work one day in 2007, I remember seeing a billboard for it on Sunset Blvd - the red and black lettering with the silhouette of a man sitting/smoking - and something about it immediately grabbed my attention. I remember getting to work, Googling it, watching the trailer, and thinking I HAVE to watch that. And I fell in love immediately upon first viewing. Back then, I didn't know a single other person who watched the first season. It felt like such a personal/underground thing. In fact, I don't remember it really blowing up until season two.

I actually enjoyed going back and watching single episodes a lot more than I expected. So many great hours of story that can stand on their own.
I wasn't the biggest fan of P1 of S7, but I really enjoyed P2 of S7 (up until the finale, which I found horrendous). I'm sure that I will go back and watch it again from the beginning some day.
