TVGuide.com: Is she at fault for the divorce? Brown: I don't believe Shirley is at fault ever at any time. I believe Shirley is salt of the Earth. She's a saint. She was a poor bystander in another relationship her husband had. It's tragic. Poor, sweet Shirley.

What Ever Happened to January Jones?

16 Nov 2009 12:50:18 PST

Written by Brian Moylan
The short answer is probably not, but she sure will try. We speculated that her busty cover of GQ and her SNL gig were a play for career-after-Mad Men because creator Matthew Weiner wasn't bringing her back. (And given the show's relatively low salary, she'd wouldn't mind moving on.) She had a...

Mad Men , Grace Kelly, And Poop Jokes Galore: January Jones Has A Rough Night On SNL [Snl Roundup]

15 Nov 2009 08:30:00 PST

Written by hortense
It was obvious early on that Jones was going to be a shaky host; in her monologue, she came across as terrified and stiff, stumbling over her lines, and the Mad Men jokes provided by the cast (including Fred Armisen, who gives a rather sweet little shout out to his wife, Elisabeth Moss, who pl...

It wasn’t until William Bernbach, the first rock star of Madison Avenue, put his copywriter in the same room as the art director that creative professionals found their stride and modern advertising truly came to life. Ads began to deliver a more emotional impact; they began to show a sens...

Sterling Coup: A terrific ending to the 'Mad Men' season

09 Nov 2009 01:08:05 PST

Written by Tempo
Just as Don assembles and solidifies his Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce family, he loses Betty and the kids. And though the major explosions in Don and Betty's marriage came in the last few episodes, there were still a few gripping aftershocks in "Close the Door."

Mad Men : Ain't That A Kick In The Head? [Mad (wo)men]

08 Nov 2009 21:00:00 PST

Written by Tracie
After an entire season of having his sleep interrupted by Betty, the baby, and Conrad Hilton, Don finally had to wake himself up. This seemed to be one of the themes of this episode, as Don put all his effort into to saving Sterling Cooper, and came to terms with the fact that he couldn't do the s...

Mad Men, "The Grown-Ups": Watching too much television

01 Nov 2009 20:01:00 PST

Written by asepinwall@starledger.com (Alan Sepinwall)
And that in turn raises a troubling question about what happens to Betty going forward. Betty has only ever figured into the story as she relates to Don, and we've seen this season with Joan and, especially, Sal, how easily characters who don't work at Sterling Cooper and/or don't have rela...

Opinion: Mad Men – “Wee Small Hours”

12 Oct 2009 08:57:27 PDT

Written by Myles
“Wee Small Hours” October 11th, 2009 It’s yet another installment in a compelling but slow-paced series of episodes, ones which feel designed to show these characters searching the depths of their emotions and not quite sticking the landing, so to speak.

Written by LatoyaPeterson
Interestingly, every time a rape or sexual assault is portrayed on the show, questions swirl around whether or not it was really, truly an assault. When Joan was raped by her fiancé in the second season the buzz on message boards was that it wasn't really rape. In an interview with New York Mag...

Opinion: High on 'True Blood' and 'Mad Men' (and let's discuss the latter)

31 Aug 2009 01:07:49 PDT

Written by Tempo
These two shows are so different in tone, execution and setting. Yet I just had to point out how lucky we are to be able to escape the real world in such different ways -- via the hedonistic world of "True Blood" and via the intellectually challenging "Mad Men." (Was my enjoyment enhanced by the...

Don Draper Logic

Written by Rick Monaco
Mad Men kicked off its third season on A&E last Sunday, and it's either jumped the proverbial shark or is heading into exciting and uncharted waters, depending on your slant. It's no Sopranos-grade production and its creator Matthew Weiner is no David Chase, despite the former havin...

Don Draper is on vacation, remains handsome while doing so

27 Jul 2009 14:50:32 PDT

Jon Hamm has a lot to be happy about. The third season of Mad Men is kicking off in a couple of weeks; he was nominated for two Emmy Awards for his work on Mad Men and 30 Rock; and he’s very likely the Second Coming of Christ. So if anyone deserves a vacation, it’s him. And thanks to one of our beloved re...

Opinion: Can Jon Hamm Become A Movie Star? [Acting]

31 Oct 2008 08:41:31 PDT

Written by Richard
I mean, he's still living pretty modestly. The first season of Mad Men, given that it's an AMC show, probably didn't pay much and his second season contract most likely didn't give him a huge raise. Last we checked, he was living in Los Feliz and driving a leased Audi. So he's not quite tooling ar...

Jon is joined by “Mad Men” co-stars John Slattery (as Roger) and Elisabeth Moss (as Peggy) In what’s first billed as “Mad Men” and then as — what? a different TV show? — “Two A-Holes at an Ad Agency in the 1960s.” But beyond the two people being A-holes, there’s really no place for this sketch to...

Describing Betty Draper to the representatives from Heineken, Duck Phillips identifies her as “well off and educated.” Now, in the context of the scene, we breeze right by it: they’re selling this pitch, so it’s not like anyone’s going to put on the brakes. However, let’s be frank: to this p...
