And yet the show has just created a revival of French ye-ye pop after one episode. The hiatus was definitely too long, but the show is now back and seems to be as good as ever. Did anyone else watch the premiere?


Really great drama, even better when watched lounging with a good single malt.

But it's not a series I feell much a need to discuss afterward (not on the net, anyway - I get my fill of Madmen discussion at the advertising agency, as you might guess) and beside, AMC Canada is not available in Québec, so by the time I'll download an epiosde via i-tune, I'm always behind, and I avoid threads about it not to have it spoiled.

I know what youre talking about with the yé-yé number in the first episode though, all too well. The actress playing Draper's fiancée is from Montréal, so they brought it up all day and that damn song got played on about five radio shows through the day. Not a revival here, however. Yé-yé is one those things that won't go away, much like 60s' rock and roll in the US (it's somewhat worse, we're stuck with both the originals and the French covers, plus the original !French stuff. Not a big fan of the sixties's pop music)

It really looks like no one watches Mad Men based on the absence of discussion. - 27/03/2012 02:44:01 PM 926 Views
I've only watched the first two series. - 27/03/2012 05:42:47 PM 572 Views
I intend to, at some point. Though as Stephen notes, the DVDs are expensive. *NM* - 27/03/2012 06:13:04 PM 256 Views
People buy DVDs? I thought everything was streaming or Blu-Ray now. - 27/03/2012 06:15:07 PM 615 Views
Also, I think they're streaming on Netflix *NM* - 27/03/2012 06:18:12 PM 297 Views
I'm still hoping Blu-Ray will go the way of the betacam. - 28/03/2012 10:38:22 PM 675 Views
It won't. - 29/03/2012 01:29:52 AM 621 Views
I don't watch my DVDs on a TV. *NM* - 30/03/2012 08:52:27 PM 273 Views

Yes, I just assumed 1080p. - 31/03/2012 05:55:13 AM 602 Views
What type of monitor are you using? - 31/03/2012 05:11:38 AM 718 Views
I also refused to take this step for a long time - 29/03/2012 03:46:59 PM 748 Views
No you don't. - 30/03/2012 01:40:57 PM 870 Views

It was Mad Men being Mad Men, albeit funnier than usual. - 27/03/2012 11:07:18 PM 675 Views
That's true. - 28/03/2012 12:00:36 AM 662 Views
I'm not surprised about the ratings. - 28/03/2012 01:18:34 AM 654 Views
I do - 28/03/2012 12:51:11 AM 769 Views
I've only checked out the first couple of episodes. - 28/03/2012 05:30:25 AM 684 Views
I watched the pilot. - 28/03/2012 02:04:17 PM 730 Views
I've chosen to watch the much inferior Pan Am. Hey, at least they're hot. *NM* - 29/03/2012 10:06:48 PM 311 Views
Totally. *NM* - 30/03/2012 08:55:47 PM 270 Views
Word. *NM* - 30/03/2012 09:34:31 PM 266 Views
Didn't they cancel that show after 3 episodes or something? *NM* - 30/03/2012 11:40:57 PM 263 Views
Not quite, but it does appear to be cancelled - 31/03/2012 05:06:45 AM 813 Views
Aw. Oh well. It wasn't exactly the best show ever, granted. *NM* - 31/03/2012 02:00:06 PM 268 Views
