Wow, Don and Megan's little cool whip routine was incredibly pathetic. Like holy shit, that gave me embarrassment goose bumps. It made my teeth hurt.

So glad she's out of the office.

Just taste it Don

[shadyspace]

When he did the skit again with Peggy he was Real Don again.

+1

Terrific line. Oh, and terrific episode. Beatles licensing must've cost a shit ton though.

[Supermanisdead]

When he did the skit again with Peggy he was Real Don again.

I loved that scene. Especially the random scientist woman's "Um, you can't smoke in here."

[Rookje]

Anyone else really tired of Megan?

I think now that's she's not at the workplace, Don's eyes are going to start wandering. I want the old Don back.

[giga]

God, Mad Men always knows how to end an episode. Tomorrow Never Knows was so perfect.

First great episode of the season.

[Ignatz Mouse]

Looking back, this season is more about Megan than Don. Which makes some sense, since we know almost nothing about her before now.

[giga]

Can anyone link to the Beatles track closing last night's episode? It sounded like a recent mix, the only ones I can find seem to be the original.

Pretty sure it was the stereo mix.

I don't think a Sal reunion will ever happen. Time to let it go man.

I mostly have, but then something comes up to remind me.

Actually, better it doesn't happen. Becuase in my fairytale version he's a successful TV commercial director, and if they bring him back he'll probably be an alcholoic or heroin addict.

[BenjaminBirdie]

What did that make Peggy's massacring of it?

[jett]

Don needs to fuck some strange.

Don needs to fuck some strange.

JUST TRY IT ALREADY

[Fuu]

JUST TRY IT ALREADY

Honey, is that really what you want? Don't you want me to taste it?

[-Pyromaniac-]

Just taste it.

[Jrmint]

That look he gave Peggy the second time she said try it instead of taste it was so golden.

Someone should gif that.

[Mangotron]

Pizza House: Just try it already

[-Pyromaniac-]

I like how the pizza house thing is something you can never pull off these days because of how many ways there are to check what you dialed.

[Meier]

Anyone else really tired of Megan? I think now that's she's not at the workplace, Don's eyes are going to start wandering. I want the old Don back.

Her being there definitely kept him more in line which it seemed like he actually liked. I think it's pretty safe to say that he'll stray in short order. The only downside to this season and I guess since the move to SCDP is that Don is almost completely un-involved in the creative and pitching process. I do miss him coming up with some super brilliant idea and being this amazing salesman.

Pizza House: Just try it already

Well played.

[BenjaminBirdie]

Pizza House: Just try it already

Brilliant.

[Ignatz Mouse]

I had this same thought. Don could just hit redial! No, wait...

[DominoKid]

Wow, Don and Megan's little cool whip routine was incredibly pathetic. Like holy shit, that gave me embarrassment goose bumps. It made my teeth hurt.

i thought it was cute.
now Don and Peggy doing it? THAT was pathetic.

Mad Men: Week 8 Power Rankings

[Fatalah]

"Mad Men" May Have Paid Record Price for Beatles Song

It doesn’t seem like a lot, but the producers of “Mad Men” may have paid a record price for a single master recording for a TV show. Sources tell me that Lions Gate and AMC paid “upwards of $250,000″ for use of “Tomorrow Never Knows,” a John Lennon song from the Revolver album. In order even to get the song, Sony/ATV Publishing had to get Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Olivia Harrison and Yoko Ono to sign off on it.

Wowza.

[sixteen-bit]

That price tag.

But didn't they close with a Beatles song last season too? The one episode where Don gives Sally tickets to the Beatles concert.

[Cornballer]

Wow, that's steep.

That price tag. But didn't they close with a Beatles song last season too? The one episode where Don gives Sally tickets to the Beatles concert.

Here's a partial S4 list with some links to S1-S3.

[Slo]

WHY IS IT THAT EVERYONE WANTS MUSIC ALL OF A SUDDEN?

[-Pyromaniac-]

Other shows get less budget so mad men can use a beatles song for 40 seconds.

[Meier]

$250,000 doesn't sound like a lot for a very memorable moment... especially if that price includes the rights for home video which I'm sure it does.

[Fatalah]

In one episode, Weiner presented 3 avenues for Pete's demise:

1.) By his own hand. Continued feelings of insignificance fuel his depression.
2.) His workplace has faulty elevators.
3.) He's playing it fast and loose with another man's wife.

I can't believe it, but this is straight out of the Simpsons' playbook.



Oh yes, and Pete sorted out his life insurance. Too many signs point to Pete, will it really be him? Or will signs switch again to Roger/Megan next week?

Roger seems like he's in a really good place now.

Last I checked, the budget per episode is around $3 million, so that seems like a significant chunk.

[shadyspace]

lol if Pete gets murdered I won't stop laughing for a week.

I can't watch the video, it tells me it's "currently unavailable" :(

Maybe try on the Bravo site?

[Jack Scofield]

Kinda strange how the office was completely oblivious to Sal's homosexuality but immediately realized their client was gay.

same thing, and I'm starting to think it's because I'm not in the US =/

[BenjaminBirdie]

I hear tell Pete's gonna get abducted by a short dude and almost set on fire and he does crack lol that was a real show that happened you guys

[Acrylamid]

Let's get Alexis Bledel for a guest role.

Let's pay $250,000 and personally contact Paul McCartney for approval to use "Tomorrow Never Knows".

Let's film inside the elevator shaft.

I prefer her over Betty.

Great episode. Really enjoying the happy Don and Megan moment but it looks like its about to take a turn

Peggy doing fake voice at phone. Lol
