Countdown To Ecstasy

I went to Disneyland and all I got was a dead woman's ring!

It's back!  It only took 17 months, but tonight, "Mad Men" returns.  I've spent the past few days brushing up, studying the various cheat sheets.  The SJG keppy is a foggy mess at the moment, so I'll take whatever help I can get.  Here are the finer points to ease you back to the swingin', smokin', Martini-drinkin', hat-wearin' '60s.  Don kept a journal, took on the tobacco industry (good luck with that!), proposed to his secretary Megan 'cuz she's good with the kids and then dumped Faye, the lady consultant/shrink he was boinking, the one who knows his real identity.  (Will that come back to bite him in his handsome tush?!  We can only hope!)  Joan got promoted but didn't get a raise.  (Thanks for nothing, boys!)  Joan and Roger did it standing up on a side street after they'd been mugged! (Normal response?  You betcha!)  Now she's preggers with Roger's baby, but is pretending it's hubby Greg's.  (Doesn't she watch TV?  That scheme never works, honey.) Roger wrote a book, he's unhappily married and he's a daddy-to-be! (Mazel tov, you scoundrel!) Betty's second marriage is a bust.  She forced-fed her daughter sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving. (Bad Betty!) She's just as miserable and unlikable as ever, but very pretty, which is all that matters!  Peggy's a smart career woman, a '60s gal, finding her way.  She saved the agency after the Lucky Strike fiasco by scoring a pantyhose account.  Who knew pantyhose had such power! (If only I'd come up with Spanx! Dang!)  Oh, and Pete and Trudy had a baby girl.  What more do you need to know?  Watch the show.  We'll discuss tomorrow.
