Chit-chat Wednesday and MISSING MY MAD MEN



I'm a huge fan of the TV show Mad Men. I love the fashions, the interior design, the make-up and of course the scripts. It's so clever, sly and witty. I miss it so much now the first series has finished screening on SBS. The Scribe is as addicted as I am and so we couldn't resist the chance to turn ourselves into Mad Men characters. I'm in the red dress and the Scribe is the blond character in the other scene. Those of you who know us will know the resemblance to us both is spooky.

I keep raving about Mad Men to whoever will listen to me but it's not often that I find TV shows that I really, really love. Mad Men happens to be the best American show since the glory days of the early Buffy series in my opinion. On Saturday nights the Scribe and I love to watch an old black-and-white film (hurrah for TCM) but there seems to be a lack of really great television shows. And so three cheers for Mad Men. I love Betty, Joan and Bert Cooper. Do you have any favourite TV shows that you would like to share? Are you a Mad Mad Men fan? If so, who is your favourite character?

    You will love them Karen! They have a DVD of the series if you want to get that. Linda, I find Peggy a tricky character. I want to like her I really do but there's something a bit nasty about her in my opinion. Joan is superb however! xx

    i watched the first series of mad men on dvd, so over a few days rather than weeks. like you i loved the sets and costumes, and the outrageous celebration of the non-pc aspects of the times - bet the writers had fun with that! i found peggy frustrating, if she's so smart, why does she fall for the non-compelling callow youth, and i couldn't believe how the series ended for her!!!! yes, joan is a more satisfying character.
    i don't really watch much on tv, but did love buffy as well - i believe joss whedon has a new series coming out...

    Hi! I just wanted to say I was inspired by your comments on my blog about chasing our dreams ... I like your idea of inspiration board. Thanks. Good luck, with yours. :)

    We don't get Mad Men, in UK. Or perhaps we do ... I haven't watched tv in about 6 months ... to much to do. :)

    I absolutely adore Mad Men. I think in Season 1 Don was my favorite but now it's the older guy who had the heart attack, or maybe Joan...I adore her walk.

    I am watching series 2 now Josephine (on DVD) and I am an addict too. I think I would like to be Betty (coz she is with Don) but have the sex appeal of Joan....xv
