Slow and Steady wins the race….,
Every season, the show starts off like an empty flower bed, takes roots and then blossoms. This season is no different. I think it’s funny when people complain that Don Draper has no character growth. He’s f’ing Batman. He’s Tony Soprano. He is not supposed to change, you are just supposed to understand him better. Hoping for some growth from Joan and Peggy this season though and for Pete to do something beyond lust and jealousy. Mad for Mad Men!

|An Ever-changing Story,
Mad Men has had its good seasons and great seasons (5) …. but I never tire of watching the complexities of the characters being played out over a changing America. Having grown up during this era, I applaud the accuracy of the production. Instead of flashing the year across the screen or something like “6 years later ….”, small droplets of newscasts, conversations indicate which year it is. Their comments about the world around them are familiar. Regarding characters: Roger gets better with age, Peggy grows up, Don continues to evolve and Pete realizes that no matter what he does, he can never match Don in deed or misdeed. I’ll be sorry to see this series end.

|a minority view here at amazon–i still love it,
i notice that after 280 reviews that this show has an aggregate rating of three stars. i’ve read some of the reviews and amazon viewers in general seem to be underwhelmed with the show. i have been reading post episode analyses online plus listening to NPR podcasts about Mad Men. this amazon view is not being repeated there nor do i share it. i like the series as much as i ever did.
take a look at the poster shown on this page for the show. that is don draper both coming and going. look at the signs around him and the disjointedness of the art work. it is not an uplifting poster! this season opens at the end of 1967 and then jumps right into 1968 and the country as a whole is coming apart, just like the poster. so it is not just don draper’s world which is being torn.
at the end of last season, much was made of the woman coming up to don and asking him “are you alone?”. much has been written about whether that meant don was going to return to being a philanderer. i looked at the question in its larger sense. is this man alone inside of himself, forever isolated from really connecting with anyone? to me the answer is obvious. he is the probably the most alone man one could ever encounter. and this time period leads into an era of alienation for the american population unlike any it had known before. parents are about to be alienated from their children as they never have been before, just as one gigantic shift. so, as usual, don is ahead of the times.
as for the other characters, fascinating things are going on for them as well. we can see that women who want to get out of the straight jacketed post war existence finally have a glimmer of hope for doing so. peggy and joan are far from being as miserable as the men around them. even trudy campbell begins to show her mettle!
the creative workers, the artists, in the advertising business, also begin to look like people are going to look in decades ahead. they are also experimenting more with the changes in lifestyles. also, television is becoming more and more a vital part of everything going on, including advertising. every time we are told a huge event has taken place it is via the tv, not by print or radio.
the creator of this series, matthew weiner, is obviously very interested in this era and the huge societal changes which took place during it and would continue to take place at an ever faster rate. as someone who came of age during this era, it is fascinating for me to look back and see it unfold from a much broader perspective.
i think this season is well worth viewing but, again, i am a minority view here on amazon apparently.

|Let them talk smack,
Alot of people seem to have a problem with GNC. I had been taking these vitamins for about 2 years. then I tried some other types of vitamins. I could tell within a few days that I did not feel as well. Not a big difference, but I could tell. The other vitamins cost more and did not work as well. I switched back to Mega Men.
