Mad Men fans?

Sal

Is anyone else a huge fan of this show?
I am fascinated by the show- love the dialogue, the sets, the costumes, the intrigue, the symbolism.
I will be sad to see it end soon, but intrigued to see how they do this.

Another fan here. I got hooked on the show a few seasons back--and watched the first three seasons in reverse order! I love the style and the nuanced writing. The best shows are the ones in which not much happens on the surface, but there is a lot of pedaling going on below. My favorite episode, though, had to be when Roger ended up spending time with his daughter in the hippy enclave. I laughed for hours remembering his expressions.

Yep. I love it and will miss it when it's over.

Funny, my husband just texted me this photo of Joan and said he wishes we could get this dress for me. Even though retro is not my thing, I would wear the heck out of that dress for a special occasion!

Yes I binge watched the first four seasons then started watching it weekly. My favourite character has to be Pete, he is so awful, yet so real, he says the things we might think but be ashamed to put into words.

Roger is a great character too - mind you they pretty much all are!

Yes that dress would suit you Janet, didn't Joan look stunning in it. I would like to see her have a "happy ending" but I am not sure that any of them will have!

Another big fan! I was In DC last month and almost died when I came across the cast on the sidewalk. We saw Jon Hamm, along with his fellow cast members John Slattery, Christina Hendricks, and creator Matthew Weiner. I later read that they were in town donating period props from the series to the Smithsonian. My dream celebrity sighting!

Cool photos Debora! I'd be dying right beside you. I've been a fan right from day one, and have mixed feelings about it ending. Shows always need to end at some point, but the growth of these characters has been so interesting. I'm a little wary of how it will all end too - sort of atraid it will go out with a whimper, and not a bang. Or with some deeply hidden meaning I won't get

I am a sporadic viewer myself and catch an episode now and again. What fascinated me from the first episode though was how they manage to craft such a powerful and meaningful show when there is almost nothing going on. YKWIM? Compared to most shows where there's a LOT of action, this should be a snoozefest, but every episode is compelling and tells you something about the characters and their world and ultimately about you/the viewer and your world.

Yes! My husband and I have watched religiously for years. I'll be really sad to see it go, but I'm enjoying the story lines as they're wrapping up. Plus, Peggy walking into that new office carrying her Octopus picture? Best moment, ever.
