As it turns out, Vincent Kartheiser might be as punchable as his "Mad Men" character Pete Campbell in real life. Kartheiser revealed in an interview w...

"Mad Men" fans love to hate Pete Campbell, and with good reason. But as actor Vincent Kartheiser recently admitted, there's an X factor to Pete's infa...
This episode is haunted by phantoms of both the characters and the series, exposing the existence of everyone's double life.
For most of "Mad Men" Season 5, there have been multiple hints about someone committing suicide, and all along many thought it was going to be Pete Ca...
Well, we knew it was coming. There has been such an overwhelming sense of doom hanging over this season with death symbols popping up at every turn: mass murders, sniper shootings, empty elevator shafts, dream-murders and Don doodling a noose.
Selling sex is a basic advertising concept that we see over and over, but it's much harder to swallow when the concept becomes a reality.
"Christmas Waltz" is an improved episode of Mad Men in this uneven season of a longtime great TV series, an episode with a very welcome return to advertising. Too much of this season has been taken up with some fairly arbitrary soap opera doings.
TV fans were shocked last week to see actress Alexis Bledel, who played the adolescent Rory Gilmore on "Gilmore Girls," looking all grown up on "Mad M...
I loved this episode. It was fast-paced, it was funny, it was deep and it had the Beatles.
Is Weiner readying Peter's so easily turned head for the chopping block?
The fifth season of AMC's Mad Men is in full swing. As is appropriate with the maturing of a series, the characters seem more mature as well, yet I'm happy to report they all still seem to be their same old selves.
In retrospect, we could see Don and Megan's showdown at HoJos coming a mile away.
This week's episode, "Signal 30," takes us inside the troubled head of straight-laced Peter Campbell, where we discover a young man repeatedly tempting fate.
He finally has all the pieces in place; he should be able to make the music as loud as he wants but it's not working -- the sound of his symphony is not coming out. Something's wrong, a chord is loose. It's not Beethoven's 9th, it's the drops of the leaking faucet.
There were hints coming out of the pre-season publicity that one major character would die this year. And I'm sure few missed Pete's seemingly esoteric reference to owning a shotgun last night.
Unlike Don, Pete's turmoil isn't essentially the result of self-hatred -- it's all about that desire for recognition and approval.
I like to think that a big chunk of Mad Men's narrative is Pete's education in human behavior. He's the Pinocchio of Sterling Cooper -- he was born a wooden doll, and now is still trying to act like a real boy.
And so the moment AMC has poured untold thousands of advertising dollars into is here: the long-awaited premier of Season 5 of "Mad Men." As you swish...
There's a lot about the New York trod by the real Mad Men back in 1966 -- the year in which we assume season five will be set -- that would send even die-hard Mad Men retroheads scurrying back to 2012.
Los Angeles A MAN is measured by his automobile in this city. But Vincent Kartheiser, the actor who plays the slick ad salesman Pete Campbell on "M...
