Losing Lane: Mad Men Season 5 Episode 12 (Commissions and Fees)

June 4, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 6 Comments

Sterling Cooper Draper… Harris? Was suicide the only way out for Mad Men’s consistent recipient of the Least Valuable Player Award? In “Commissions and Fees,” Lane’s tragic end is inevitable as soon as his sleight of hand with the books is found out by Bert Cooper; the canceled check for the money he stole from […]

Day Off or Off Day…

May 13, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 12 Comments

I was considering taking a day off. (Hello, Crazy? You there? Think you could manage a little down time?) Then I was thinking maybe I was just having an off day. Another matter entirely. Perhaps if I took the occasional day off, I might have fewer off days. Then again, in reality, I don’t have […]

Starting With a Kiss? Bliss. . .

March 25, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 4 Comments

Is Mad Men Season 5 really starting with a kiss? Apparently so. And if the episode title isn’t enough to seduce us, I can only imagine that the premiere itself will. Season 5’s “A Little Kiss” Parts 1 and 2 will air tonight at 9:00 p.m. on AMC TV, and all the Mad Men addicts […]

Dear Mathew Weiner… Please Give Us More Betty

October 12, 2010 by D. A. Wolf Leave a Comment

Dear Matt Weiner, Yes, we know it’s Mad Men, but you’ve given us much to savor in the women, except for one. Exactly. Betty Draper Francis. Sure, we fell for her charm and beauty in the beginning. Perfect for the Kennedy era Camelot. Typical of the Alfred Hitchcock heroine. We tolerated her cool, and at […]

Mad Men Episodes 9 and 10: Prejudice, Power, and Pretense

October 25, 2009 by D. A. Wolf 5 Comments

What were the 60s about? As the viewers of AMC TV’s Mad Men are aware – the appearance of one thing, and trouble, trouble, trouble, seething beneath the surface of everything.  With each episode, the glitz and glamor are increasingly overshadowed by secrets and seedy behaviors. 60s Prejudice In Episode 9, Sal falls victim to […]

Mad Men’s Women: Drugged Debs, Bottles over Breasts

September 15, 2009 by D. A. Wolf 2 Comments

Disturbing, on oh-so-many levels. This week’s episode of Mad Men was an unsettling and somber look at the world of baby-birthing in the 60s, and long before. Setting aside all your opinions of the main character’s ambivalence about her place in society, her marriage, her family and her unborn child, it’s hard not to be […]
