Yes! I have to say it is my generation who raised these men. Or at least I did. What I mean is that when my son was born in the '70's I made a conscience effort to raise a "good man" and not to put another "a**hole" into the world. Really, that's what I said. I have a son who is a dedicated husband, father, worker, citizen, etc. whom I am extremely proud of. Plus he loves and respects me! Also, I raised him without the hypocrisy of religion. It is a joy for me and my husband to be around him and his family.

Of course, I know there were good men in past generations, but who are they on Mad Men? I have to go through the list. ha-ha!

Ken Cosgrove can certainly cut a mean rug. I wonder if he is a good dancer when he is off speed.

At one point I thought Don was actually thinking outside of the box, regarding advertising, but alas it was the drugs talking.

I think it was season three when Pete and Trudy danced up a storm doing the Charleston. These are good skills to have in that after the series is over, these actors can make a buck on one of those Dancing With the Stars type programs.

Does anyone else thing that Cutler or Ted's "doctor" was brought in as payback on how Don drank Ted under the table? Methinks the office cold war has started, but it's not going to be all that "cold"! LOL

Bitchy Betty is back and I couldn't be happier. Besides, she was right about the casting couch. Don and Megan screwed up.
Wow. Betty is such a hypocrite! She had a lot of nerve bringing up a "casting couch" Seems to me when she cheated on Don, she found herself on a couch too. This is probably why Sally resents and disrespects her. Her parenting is very inconsistent, and she does not set a good example for her daughter. She plays this "above it all" role and she can be just as skeezy and disgusting as the characters we "love to hate"

The old saying "do as I say, not as I do" comes to mind.

Actually Vincent Kartheiser will be playing Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice this summer and planning his wedding to former MM cast member, Alexis Biedel. I don't DWTS in his future. lol

Betty never physically cheated on Don. Not really. She had an emotional affair first with Henry. After she told Don that she was divorcing him, Betty, Henry, and Baby Gene flew to Reno to get Betty a divorce. There was a scene where Betty and Henry met with a lawyer in NY which explained that Betty did not cheat on Don with Henry. I don't think she cheated with anyone else either.
