The Most Confusing 'Mad Men' Ever
20 May 2013 12:10 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Note: Do not read on if you have not yet seen Season 6, Episode 8 of AMC's "Mad Men," titled "The Crash."
This week's "Mad Men" saw half of Sdpcgc tripping on speed serum, resulting in darts in forearms, a long-awaited Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss) and Stan Rizzo (Jay R. Ferguson) kiss, tap-dancing Ken Cosgrove (Aaron Staton) and Sylvia Rosen (Linda Cardellini) finally put a very sweaty Don Draper (Jon Hamm) in his place.
But in between those highlights, which fans cheered on Twitter, there was plenty of confusion, leading many viewers to tweet that they too felt the late '60s feel-good vibe a little too much while watching "The Crash."
Below, check out fifty tweets about last night's "Mad Men" and share your theories in the comments. Also, check back with HuffPost TV for Maureen Ryan's recap of "The Crash," which will be available on Wednesday.
"Mad Men" airs Sundays at 10 p. »

'Mad Men' Brings Together an Office on Uppers and Flashbacks to Brothel Living in One of the Show's Best Episodes
20 May 2013 10:24 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
This article below contains spoilers for "The Crash," the May 19th, 2013 episode of "Mad Men." High on an injection of B vitamins and speed and giddy from days without sleep, Don Draper (Jon Hamm) discovered the universal perfect pitch in last night's episode. In his addled mind, at least, he grasped the advertising singularity, and for a moment, Don believed he could sell anything to anyone, evoke some primal yearning having to do with our desire for a connection with other people and use it to convince anyone, from Chevy to his wayward mistress Sylvia Rosen (Linda Cardellini) to bend to his will. Like most substance-enabled epiphanies, it dissolved in the bright light of sobriety -- Don wasn't actually able to see into the inner workings of human motivation like some persuasion-based variant on Neo at the end of "The Matrix." No, his revelation had everything to do with himself »

'Mad Men' Highlights Don's Power Games, at Work and in the Bedroom
13 May 2013 9:33 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
The article below contains spoilers for "Man With a Plan," the May 12, 2013 episode of "Mad Men." Don (Jon Hamm) likes to be on top -- not that there was ever any doubt. Don Draper, ad man extraordinaire, has refused to be pinned down by contracts, difficult clients or the ladies in his life, preferring to come and go as he pleases (and to tell people to fuck off whenever he feels like it), impelled by the deep-seated restlessness and self-examination that have shaped his life. "Man With a Plan," directed by Roger Sterling himself, John Slattery, and written by Semi Chellas and Matthew Weiner, is an episode built around a pair of Don's power games as he tried to establish his ascendancy in two different realms. One was with his mistress and neighbor Sylvia Rosen (Linda Cardellini), and the other was with his counterpoint Ted Chaough (Kevin Rahm) in the »

Return
10 May 2013 1:02 AM, PDT | Sky Movies | See recent Sky Movies news »
Blue-collar mom and Us Army Reservist Kelli (Linda Cardellini) finds life spiralling out of control when she returns to the Ohio rust belt from the Gulf after a tour of duty. Drinking more than she should and driving an emotional wedge between herself and her husband (Michael Shannon), she quits her job and drifts, alienating those around her and posing a real risk to the welfare of her kids. Writer-director Liza Johnson's debut feature eschews melodramatic emotional shocks to quietly chronicle a damaged mum slipping through the cracks. »
'Mad Men's' Linda Cardellini Deflects Trick Questions, Talks 'Freaks and Geeks'
9 May 2013 7:50 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
Mad Men's attention may currently be fixed on the rapidly changing situation at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, but there's still the matter of the unhappy doctor's wife keeping a key under the mat several floors below the Drapers' Upper East Side apartment. Linda Cardellini raised more than a few eyebrows when her quiet new character was revealed to be sleeping with relapsing lothario Don Draper (Jon Hamm) during the season six premiere -- largely because, in typical Mad Men fashion, no one even expected to see her on the show. Sylvia Rosen has since been revealed to be one of Draper's

This season of Mad Men has brought more than an obsession with death, copious facial hair, and a merger - it's also been featuring a ton of recognizable guest stars. We were shocked but delighted to see Linda Cardellini (Freaks and Geeks forever!) in the season opener, and now it seems like each episode has another face we know. But just in case you're still trying to place some of Mad Men's recent guest stars, we've got the answers right here. View Slideshow › »

Freaks and Geeks Ep 1.02 ‘Beers and Weirs’ – The one where everybody doesn’t get wasted (except Bill)

Freaks and Geeks Episode 2 ‘Beers and Weirs’
Directed by Jake Kasdan
Written by J. Elvis Weinstein & Judd Apatow
Aired 10/2/99
The problem with most second episodes of television shows is they spend too much time re-establishing the story beats and relationship dynamics between characters from the pilot, just in case there’s a few million extra people tuning in after hearing about the first episode (spoiler: this very rarely happens… these days, most shows are lucky to maintain an audience through the second episode). ‘Beers and Weirs’ has a much better way of handling the second episode of a series: throw all the characters in the same location and observe their interactions. It’s a really organic way of adding complexities to the relationships on the show, all under the conceit of a high school trope – partying when the parents go way – with an absolutely ingenious twist.

Jon Hamm reveals why 'Mad Men' keeps secrets better than the CIA -- Video
30 April 2013 7:30 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Mad Men creator Matt Weiner’s obsession with confidentiality is no secret. The show’s actors keep mum in interviews, terrified of letting slip even the tiniest hint of a sliver of a spoiler. When reviewers received advance copies of the show’s sixth season premiere this year, they were instructed not to reveal what year the episode took place, the existence of any new characters, and “whether the agency has expanded to an additional floor.” And according to star Jon Hamm, new featured guest star Linda Cardellini wasn’t even allowed to attend the show’s premiere — since doing »

Jon Hamm On The Secrecy Of Linda Cardellini's 'Mad Men' Role
30 April 2013 5:14 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Jon Hamm dropped by "The Daily Show" where he talked about the secrecy surrounding Linda Cardellini's guest role on "Mad Men." Jon Stewart couldn't even wrap his head around the former "Freaks and Geeks" star even being on the show. He can't forget her as a high school student.
"We’re gonna work our way through iconic television shows, I think, by the time we’re done," Hamm joked.
Cardellini actually had just had a baby when they started filming. As Hamm explained, it was astonishing what she was able to juggle at that time. "Not only was she managing being on the show, not telling anybody she was on the show, including family and friends, but also dealing with an infant," he said. "I was amazed she could show up to work in the morning much less be as good as she is."
But Cardellini isn't the only one being kept busy. »

Freaks and Geeks Ep 1.01 ‘Pilot’ Welcome to McKinley High
24 April 2013 2:00 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Freaks and Geeks Episode 1 ‘Pilot’
Directed by Jake Kasdan
Written by Paul Feig
Aired 9/25/1999
If there’s such thing as a perfect pilot, Freaks and Geeks‘s first hour is it. Most pilots are mish-mashed groups of scenes with some overly constructed jokes, an audience-grabbing plot hook, and numerous scenes where characters explain who other characters are. ‘Pilot’ is the exact opposite of that, a beautiful, detailed photograph into a high school in suburban Detroit on the first day back from summer vacation. From that first scene, where an overwrought confession of love between a football player and cheerleader (“I just love you so much… it scares me”) is shoved off-frame to introduce us to the ‘freaks’, Freaks and Geeks established itself as a different kind of high school show, one that wasn’t afraid to be honest about shitty high school life when you’re not “one of the cool kids. »

Does She Know The Truth?
24 April 2013 1:17 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Four episodes into Season 6 of "Mad Men" and AMC's beloved drama is just as buzzed-about as ever.
Don (Jon Hamm) is cheating on Megan (Jessica Paré), Trudy (Allison Brie) finally put Pete Campbell (Vincent Kartheiser) in his place, Roger Sterling (John Slattery) is in therapy and Betty (January Jones) still appears to be eating a few too many bugles.
"Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner and the some of the cast gathered at the Paley Center in New York on Tuesday for a panel moderated by Brian Williams to discuss their characters, the vibe on set and what's to come.
Find out what they had to say during the panel and to The Huffington Post on the red carpet below.

Nickelodeon’s Sanjay and Craig Draws 30 Rock, Arrested Development & Breaking Bad Alums
24 April 2013 7:32 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
What if Calvin and Hobbes weren’t a duo comprised of a young boy and his toy tiger, but rather of a young boy and his pet snake? That’s the premise Nickelodeon’s new animated offering, Sanjay and Craig, which is uniting actors from top shows like 30 Rock, Arrested Development and Breaking Bad.
Sanjay and Craig is produced by the same creators of another animated jaunt, The Adventures of Pete & Pete. If you remember than one, than you’ll also remember that it wasn’t only kids who found it amusing. Likewise, Sanjay and Craig hopes to woo young adults and “their young nieces and nephews,” also, reported EW.
Drawing comparisons with Disney’s Phineas and Ferb, which I’ll admit I’ve watched a few times and enjoyed, Sanjay and Craig will trace the misadventures of a daring 12-year-old “dreamer” named Sanjay, voiced by 30 Rock alum Maulik Pancholy, »

Mad Men’s casting department really has a knack for finding buzzworthy, nostalgia-baiting guest stars. Refugees from Gen Y touchstones like The Secret World of Alex Mack, Saved by the Bell, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer have been showing up on the series for years. Last season, Pete Campbell — himself played by a veteran of The WB — romanced Rory Gilmore both on and off-camera. This season, Don Draper’s doing the same with Freaks and Geeks’s Lindsay Weir.
And last night, the show dipped even further into the nostalgia well by bringing in a TV ringer with one of »

Mad Men @ the Movies: The Age of Aquarius
15 April 2013 6:24 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Hi all, this is Deborah filling in for Nathaniel for our mutual favorite TV show. It figures that while I'm filling in there are no explicit movie references. However, I think I can keep you engaged with some juicy Broadway and implicit movie references.
Linda Cardellini guest stars on Mad Men
Episode 6.03, The Collaborators, is directed by Jon Hamm to dirty perfection. Make no mistake, this is a very dirty episode, concerned with adultery, broken promises, and things not being what they seem.
We open with a party at the Campbell home; Pete is offering tickets to "Hair" to two neighbors. It’s a flirtatious conversation, Pete tells the ladies that hair is full of drugs, foul language, and “simulated sex acts.” Flirting is not the subtle art of yore in 1968, we say “sex acts” right out in public! (Spoilers ahead.) »

Sunshine On 'Mad Men'?!
15 April 2013 1:07 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Note: Do not read on if you have not yet seen Season 6, Episode 3 of AMC's "Mad Men," titled "The Collaborators."
"Mad Men" specializes in surprising, nostalgic guest-casting. After "Freaks & Geeks" alum Linda Cardellini stole the show in the AMC drama's Season 6 premiere, another early 2000s favorite had a guest appearance in the show's third episode: Kip Pardue, who is fondly remembered as Ronnie "Sunshine" Bass, the long-haired, left-handed California quarterback in Denzel Washington's high-school football film "Remember The Titans."
Pardue's "Mad Men" guest spot had him playing a hot shot Heinz ketchup executive, who stopped by Sterling Cooper in a blue suit for an unofficial visit. While Don (Jon Hamm) and Ken Cosgrove (Aaron Staton) were excited to vie for his business, Heinz beans executive Raymond Geiger (John Sloman) made it clear that the visit was just for show. Still, word got back to Peggy that Heinz was potentially up for his grabs, »

'Mad Men's' Jessica Pare: Megan Thinks She Has It All
14 April 2013 9:24 AM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
After avoiding the pitfalls of being with Don Draper (Jon Hamm) for an entire season, Megan (Jessica Pare) is now in the same boat Betty (January Jones) was in back in the first season of Mad Men. The season six premiere revelation that Don has gone back to his philandering ways -- this time with Doctor’s wife Sylvia (Linda Cardellini) -- seems to deflate all hope of the protagonist ever keeping a steady romantic interest. And it makes Megan and her in-the-dark optimism one of the series’ more sympathetic characters at this juncture. Photos: Rape Jokes, F-Bombs and More:

'Mad Men', 'Being Human USA', Victoria Wood: This week's TV review
13 April 2013 1:00 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »
I'd found myself somewhat frustrated by Mad Men's hit-and-miss fifth season. As ever, the show had its moments - Lane's shocking suicide in 'Commissions and Fees' and Joan's tragic choice in 'The Other Woman' - but with a neutered Don Draper (Jon Hamm) at the helm, it all felt just a little underwhelming.
So I was thrilled to see Sky Atlantic's classiest import back on top form with two-part season six premiere 'The Doorway'. Mad Men is at its best when Don is at his worst, so I practically cheered when the self-loathing ad man leapt into bed with Linda Cardellini's Sylvia Rosen.
There was much more to 'The Doorway' than Don resuming his path to self-destruction of course. Even more arresting was Roger Sterling's emotional arc - the real impact of his mother's death only hit Roger once the tools of his deceased shoeshiner were delivered to »
