'Mad Men' Season 5 Promo: Roger Is Back (VIDEO)

First Posted: 02/18/2012 1:12 pm Updated: 02/18/2012 9:21 pm

It's been a long time coming, but the "Mad Men" Season 5 premiere is finally upon us -- and so are the new promos. Get a sneak peek at the new season above.

The AMC drama returns with a two-hour premiere on Sun., March 25 at 9 p.m. EST and the cast is starting to drop hints about the long-awaited return.

"I think this season is the best yet. I really do," John Slattery told HuffPost TV in late January. "We were all commenting that it felt like the first season. We've somehow circled back after all the details and all the plot development that's happened with everybody ... it's kind of circled back to the sort of tunnel vision on each character and various elements of each character that they've dialed in on. It's somehow simpler."

In the new promo above, check out Slattery's Roger back in action: the debauchery, the swagger, the highballs, the vests -- it's all back.

The "Mad Men" cast shared their favorite episodes with HuffPost TV:

"My favorite episode is still the pilot ['Smoke Gets In Your Eyes']. It was just such an amazing experience, and the first step in this incredible journey. But I've never ever worked on something and felt the way I felt after we shot the episode in Season 4 called 'The Suitcase' [Episode 7]. That one ... I can't even put it into words, but that one over there [pointing to Elisabeth Moss] is so talented and it was such a lovely performance. It was really just great to be able to say those words next to that person."

Seasons 1 and 2 were my faves. The very first episode was and still is a knock-out. I also like The Wheel and the episode that takes place during the Cuban Missile Crisis - "Meditations in an Emergency." The scene when Pete tells Peggy that he loves her may be my very favorite.

The writers Lisa Albert, Kater Gordon and Jane Anderson, were the best. They no longer write for MM and it shows.

My addiction! I'll be going into withdrawal after Downton Abbey finales so now I can get my Mad Men fix to compensate. Can't wait.

Great Show!
Too Bad Producers Don't get the Idea that This is the type of TV Viewers Want instead of All that "Reality" Crap!

They do, but it is really expensive to produce. Jersey Shore is nearly free to produce and brings in a lot of money. TV Producers are not in the television buisness, they are in the money making business. It happend along time ago.

You are so right. Also, the whole 're-make' fad is plain old laziness of studios wanting to cash in on something that worked once before. Sad.

It's been so long I would expect Don's daughter to be an angry teenager or away at college.

Seriously, I have predicted that. Sally will usher us into the flower child era.

I'll watch it, but the interest has waned over the amount of time it has taken. No concern for the fans/viewers just the money.

Looking forward to a real meat & potatoes TV series vs. the jello and pablum being served up on Broadcast.

gratuitous advertorial cross-market logrolling and I love it.
