Matthew Weiner and I attended the same prep school at the same time (he was 2 grades above me).


I'm glad that Matt named one of the show's characters "Father John Gill". (The real Father Gill was one of my favorite teachers. He called his students "toads" -- and we were!)

My first grade teacher surely didn't look like that and that was in 1970, so not so much later. Miss De Simone was her name and she looked as good it sounds. Black hair down to her waist and legs up to ya-ya. I've been stuck on groovy girls in mod dresses ever since.

I still think she's a Gloria Trillo in the making.

I think my husband will disagree with you about her being the sexiest character on the show... then again he is partial to redheads.

Thumbs up Gents, is it only 'me' or does anyone else notice the Switchboard Gal..?
This is probably just 'me'...but I tend to notice the backroom folk more And from Season 1, the Switchboard Operator, Lois Sadler (Crista Flanagan - a GREAT Irish name if ever there was one!) just shone out of the screen and turned me into a BIG puppy-dog!!

Anyone else out there in the same boat, or do I just need to keep taking the medication? OKAY..I asked for that!! So, anyone else with me on this one where Lois will be overlooked 'no longer!!' I'm signing her up to MIDDLETON-DRAPER & STERLING.

I agree. She's just good at compartmentalizing. I wish I had had teachers this good at keeping their personal life out of our classroom. On the other hand, how do we know what she assigns for essay topics?

I noticed that she didnt get fired when she ran over that Brit's foot. Comic relief endures.

Though the late '60's and '70s are not my favorite era's, I'd still love to see the show explore the extreme changes of the time. Even if one of the later seasons was set in the 1980's I'd still watch the show! I hope they at least get up to the mid-70's.

Sorta OT: Betty Draper really does need to be killed off on the plane ride to Reno after the horrific "performance" of January Jones on SNL last night.

Really OT: The skit on Grace Kelly on SNL was in really poor taste, and reminded why I don't watch much network television, or television for that matter (outside of hockey of course).

SNL is one of the only bad comedy shows on network TV. It's more of a status thing for someone to host SNL, instead of it actually being funny or entertaining. I don't think they push for comedy on the show-the skits are childish and the acting and actors are terrible.

SNL Mad Mennies Monologue
the opening was rather good. I liked the "I Like Peggy" comment from her real life hubby.

January Jones is as stilted in real life as she is on the show! It was painful to watch.
