Mornin' folks!

#1 Post by dimmzy » Mon Jul 28, 2008 6:24 am

Anyone watch Mad Men? I love how AMC has ALL the episodes, commercial-free, on AMC on Demand.

I love how the show subtly shows how things have changed. My favorite scene was where the little girl was running around playing with a dry cleaner bag on her head and the mother says, "You better not have dumped my clothes on the floor, young lady!"

Mornin', dimmzy!

I get HBO but I haven't watched Mad Men. When do they start another season of Big Love? :)

Talk about old fashioned, Draper's Doctor actually checked Draper's blood pressure himself.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Actually, MAD MEN is on AMC -- regular pay cable!

BIG LOVE will start in January. It should have started this summer, but the writers strike delayed things ...

Mine does, too, but only as a verification of the nurse's original check before she came in.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.
