Mad Men -- welcome back from what's been amateur hour at SCDP. I'm not talking about the copywriters, campaigns or maiden voyages on an acid trip. I'm talking about the series writers.
It's hard to figure out why someone didn't come up with such a great way to celebrate such a cocktail-mad city long ago.
Mad Men and publishing in the early 1960s were pretty much the same business, same characters, same everything: booze-y lunches, shag a secretary, at ...
Last night's Mad Men episode, "The Beautiful Girls," centers around Faye, Sally, Miss Blankenship, Peggy and Joan -- all in different stages of life, dealing with their own roles as women as well as their roles with the men that rely on them.
