Will Pfeifer, Sean Driscoll and I are back with a new podcaster, Melissa Westphal, to talk season four of “Mad Men.”
High marks all around for the premiere last night, titled “Public Relations.” I think more than anything, the four of us were just happy to have “Mad Men” back in our lives. There’s nothing like hearing that theme song after a long weekend.
11 months have passed since the end of season three. Don seems darker (the man spent his Thanksgiving with a hooker. That should tell you enough). Peggy and Pete seem more mature. Betty seems exactly the same. And the whole show is wrapped in a new coat of paint, as the newly minted Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce has moved into a floor in the modern Time Life building.
We’ll be posting weekly through the end of the season. Tune in by clicking play above, or by subscribing to our iTunes feed.
Enjoy!

I also thought that Henry’s mom looked too young to be his mother!
Did anyone else think that the one-legged reporter was a call-back to the Englishman who lost his leg in the Sterling Cooper office last season? “And just when he was getting his foot in the door…”
Loved when Roger said to a sleeping Don that he’d caught him at his most vulnerable. Great!

Hey guys, nice to see you back with your excellent review of the first episode of Mad Men. I agree it was the best opener episode of all 4 seasons,
Interesting note about the “John and Marsha” thing. It was a parody record spoofing soap operas by Stan Freberg that first came out in early 50’s. It was still popular in the early 60’s because I knew exactly what it was because I was a teen in the 60’s and my girlfriends and I would do the exact same thing that Peggy and Joey were doing. All one of us had to do was say, out of clear blue, in that soap operatic voice “Joohhnnn” and one of us would do the “Maaarssshhha”, and it would continue on and one more dramatically.
