There will be another
People probably said the same thing about the Sopranos and then this show popped up like a month later.
55/70. Not bad.

Anyone else watching right now? I remember now the terrible emotional ride these episodes are. Every moment has me cringing.

which S3 episode is the "lawnmower" episode?
edit: Nevermind. Episode is on now

I got a pretty bad result but I'm honestly surprised how many situations I remember despite seeing most of these episodes nearly 5 years ago.

I got 43 on the quiz, heavily weighted to later episodes (plus the half-dozen I recently rewatched).
Good quiz.
Good quiz.

I got 50/70 on the quiz. I was doing really well, considering that the questions are in chronological order with the seasons, but fell off big-time once we got to seasons 6 and 7 as I have only seen them once.
Love this show - will do a big re-watch later in the year when I have all the blu-rays lined up. Still need to get seasons 5-7 on blu, I never loved them as much as the earlier ones. That will hopefully change as I give some further attention.

They should have used that for a credits and really imploded the universe.
Also, man did Freddie Rumsen really take a 180 from the beginning of season 4, with his great dames. Such an old fashioned dude.

Joan plays the accordion
Caught "My Old Kentucky Home" on TV last night. I remembered parts of it, like Roger's blackface and Don meeting Connie in the bar, but there was so much I didn't. The Joan scene, Pete and Trudy dancing, and Sally reading The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (such a smart kid) to her grandpa. I really need to rewatch the whole show one day.

Oh man, that sequence. That made me like Pete, and I didn't like how much I was liking Pete in that moment. I had so much hope for a brief second that he wasn't a fucking grubworm of a person.
Of course, it turns out Pete is one of the few people on the show who has managed to learn from his mistakes. Or at least some of them.

It was strange watching that scene with the knowledge of last week's episode. Pete could have been that guy all the time if he had wanted to. Or at the very least a lot less of a, as you say, grubworm. He's definitely matured and is one of the show's best characters in my mind.
60/70. That was fun.

The Suitcase is on now
Thanks for the heads up.
"That's what the money is for!"
I enjoy seeing these commercials for the show that aired before I started watching it, a lot of them have cheesy narration.

It's hard for me to choose between the two, but I'd have to say Summer Man edges out The Suitcase for favorite episode. Guess i'm a sucker for internal monologues and The Stones.
If it is a film let's hope it is better than his one from 2013 "Are You Here" which has a rating of 7% on rotten tomatoes.
Is it really that bad?
On a more relevant note, I'm watching the end of "The Suitcase" now, and it's a masterpiece of an episode. The scene where Don breaks down in front of Peggy is heartbreaking, especially now that the show is ending. The final "open or closed" line between them followed by Simon and Garfunkel is so effective. I hope Don and Peggy have one more moment together.

bitch I'm taking calls.
I didn't like it =/
I know. Could see him wanting to do another.
I can't see him doing another show after dedicating 10 years of his life to one.

I've been enjoying Season 7 and the show remains one of the very few I watch live.
But my interest definitely took a hit; for me, it was probably after Season 3. My wife loves those early seasons, too. It's been pretty hard to keep her on board but I think she likes this final season as well.
As I said, this final season has been a strong close but those first few seasons were edge of my seat awesomeness.
Edit: Looking through the episode recaps, we definitely were still riding the MM high through Season 4. May need to jump in on marathon.

And it looks like I was wrong. Betty and Peggy did share another scene together, even if it was brief
