Watched all the divx copies, what a great show.  Best new one in a while, I think.  Retro and all but still entertaining, the humor is not dated, and in many ways the problems aren't dated either, just differently expressed.

As for the women, I like those mentioned above but Pete Campbell's wife, Trudy Campbell (the one with the parents who want to give her and Pete the downpayment for the apartment after Pete's parents refuse) is my favorite.  She looks cute and old-school women's college-y in the show with her hair up but she looks pretty damn cute with it down too, as per imdb

Pete looks very like my senior partner when he was in his late 20s cerca 1961, which was right when this film is supposed to take place.

The reality of the past rarely co-operates with us, as much as we would prefer for completeness.

TV

Sex and Death are never apart!
And Fear is what drives advertising as you so rightly say.
It's all very primal stuff really.
Not dying, attracting a mate - There's not too much more to it than that.

Remind me not to have raw oysters, martinis, cigarettes and then walk up twenty flights.

I was deeply dissatisfied with the last episode.  Not enough Joan by half.

Incidentally, it was a .22 rifle rather than a shotgun.  Out here in The Sticks, we may not be perpetually soigne but we know these things.

Some days, I do go, to 18, pimp style.

Perhaps it's, the ideal, number (yet unknown).
