Mad Men Season 5 Episode 3 – Tea Leaves

April 2, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 4 Comments

One more 1960s bias of note, courtesy of Mad Men… Fat, of course.

Counting Down to Mad Men Season 5

March 18, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 4 Comments

Those of us who unabashedly call ourselves fans are counting down the days. Just seven more to go. Mad Men Season 5 premieres – at last – Sunday evening March 25 on AMC TV. The New York Times covered the upcoming season not long ago, as has increasing media promotion on all fronts. As if […]

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 […]

Mixing My Martini, Musing on My Mad Men. . .

October 3, 2010 by D. A. Wolf Leave a Comment

What day of the week is it across the country? Mad Men Day, of course. And while it isn’t quite evening yet, it’s approaching cocktail hour in my neck of the woods. Why not get a jump on the festivities? I’ve had a productive weekend, albeit sans my favorite role as provocateur, or should I […]

Precarious Pairings: Mad Men Episode 10 (Hands and Knees)

September 27, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 5 Comments

A couple, embracing in a moment of intimacy. Both are seemingly on the same page, sure of their world, their judgments of others. Pete and Trudy share a moment. “Just remember. Everything’s good here,” she says, as her husband proudly rubs her pregnant belly. In an episode of Mad Men where our favorite characters find […]

Beautiful Girls Make Fascinating Fodder: Mad Men Season 4 Episode 9

September 20, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 10 Comments

Sure, they’re beautiful. Joanie, Peggy, Faye – even little Sally Draper who may be a child, but seems increasingly well-versed in the ways of the world. She isn’t Betty’s daughter for nothing. Mad Men’s “The Beautiful Girls” follows two dynamite episodes, and wriggles its way through with the usual dramatic turns and a healthy hint […]

Why We Love Our Television Heroes: Mad Men Episode 6

August 30, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 5 Comments

Bigger than life. Flashy. Flawed. Cagey, corrupt, capricious. We love our television heroes, and our anti-heroes. Big screen or small screen, we escape into fictional lives, finding points in common, or nothing in common at all. Mad Men is the perfect example of this phenomenon, as the Emmy award winning drama – again, just last […]

Mad Men Season 4 Episode 4: The Rejection

August 16, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 4 Comments

Mad Men continues to do what it does best, revealing characters in all their complexity. “The Rejection” is filled with nifty elements which seed future story lines as bad news transforms into opportunities for some, and drives others into deeper despair. Of course, we don’t yet know which paths our favorite characters will take as […]

Memory, Myth, and Mad Men

July 23, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 9 Comments

We’re two days away from Mad Men Season 4, premiering on July 25th! For those of us who can’t get enough of this Emmy-award winning drama with its seductive and complex characters, the slick and subtle depiction of the sixties, and plot twists for our favorite actors to navigate, it’s worth a few minutes to […]

Good news and bad news

July 6, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 16 Comments

There’s good news and bad news. Oh, I won’t even begin to discuss the state of the BP oil spill, our lagging economy, not to mention my pitiful personal life. But there’s still a cornucopia of good news – offset of course, by weird news (at the very least), and yes, bad news. But may […]
