Greg Mitchell: When 'Mad Men' Types -- and Hollywood-- First Played a Key Role in Politics
When pundits labeled last year's presidential campaign "divisive" and "dirty," I had to laugh. The champion of all dirty races in this century, in fact, was the 1934 contest between Upton Sinclair and Frank Merriam.

This episode was a big showcase for January Jones, a stunning beauty who is also a very good actress. Forget Don, this was the Betty Draper show.

that pretty much sums up Mad Men. Kudos for using the word sycophants in a kids show.
Great except for one thing... they should have used mad, sad and GLAD, not "happy". "Glad" would hace fit better with the progression of things. Maybe I'm over-analyzing!
Apologies to thebookhook... I didn't read their comment before posting my own, which had the same idea.
Sesame Street still rocks! Some of my favorite college memories when I lived in the dorm (74-75) include the offensive linemen singing along with Oscar. I still love Grover.
YYYAAAYYY!!! i love it!
I just hope this causes a whole generation of preschoolers to call their playmates "sycophant", rather than something they heard on South Park.
this is so clever, using adult TV (that children are more interested in) as a diving board to teach children about emotion. wow
(Hat etiquette breech though.)
mad, sad and glad might have had a better ring, but I'm just an ad woman.
Nice, but I'm imagining they are trying to avoide the criticism launched at Dr. Seuss by educators and child psychologist/experts who claimed that too much rhyming is bad for child development as it can confuse them. We don't want negative words mad/sad presented along with a similar sounding word like glad. We want to differentiate completely for the children--hence, happy as far from mad/sad as can be Two syllables and brings thoughts of eee ounds yippee, sesame, sunny and honey. Even the sound of it has energy. The Sesame Street folks put lots of thought into this I'm sure.
Agreed, and I'm an ad man. But also, Guy Smiley would have been a better looking Don Draper.
I still prefer parodies OF Sesame Street. Only characters I liked as a kid were Oscar and the Count.
