Rachel (dont know if its just the character, I would be all over her)
Trudy (Shes not a big character but man is she hot)
Joan (come on ya gotta love red, shes got curves for days)
Midge (terribly sexy women)
Betty (beautiful face and a knockout body to boot)
Hmmmmm... I just named the leading lady last. well it doesn't surprise me my taste is usually not the most common.
- i don't find midge or rachel very attractive but i guess i don't like odd noses.– _salisae_1/2
  there is a bit of a nose thing going on there.– MrOneHundred2/2

it's a pretty good show but it feels like they're trying too hard with the art direction when it comes to the women's dresses

When I'm watching the intro I keep wondering if one of the characters will eventually leap to their death out of their office window
- the gay one will– Llyod1/4
  There’s a gay one? Don’t spoil it for me! I’m not through season 1 yet!!!!!!– MrOneHundred2/4
  all I'll say is that he's in the closet– Llyod3/4
  they were hinting at it from the very episode 1– rafalski4/4

There is that one script typeface on one of the sign/ads in the intro that annoys the balls off of me! It’s the one blemish on a perfectly art-directed universe.

You haven't heard? QBN doesn't like to do things half way. It's all or nothing around here.

I don’t recognise any of them out of costume. I have a real thing for the period portrayed in this show.

This is a really great show. I haven't not enjoyed an episode yet. I bet a lot of old folks who were kids in the ad business back then would get a kick out of it.
- I’d like to kick them.– MrOneHundred

are the ad guys were based on real people?
- I don't think so, but I could be wrong. I don't know the background story on the show.– dog_opus

Not real characters, but a lot of the branding and concepts they come up with are based on real stories. Like the creation of the Lucky Strike slogan, the "Executive Account" for businessmen, Kodak Slide Carousel, etc.

Come on. Most ad people are pretty one-dimensional, so in a sense they are based on real people.

ooh, sorry if I offended anyone. I have some issues with that industry. This show allows me to witness its foibles at a safe distance, be entertained and scope out hot retro-lookin’ chicks all at the same time.
- so they're one-dimensional but you are scared and fairly base yourself.– _salisae_1/17
  shame you can't cover up the bitterness more eloquently.– _salisae_2/17
  I’m not really that bitter. It’s more of an affectation. It helps me to believe I did the right thing in walking away.– MrOneHundred3/17
  I walked away from it as well but that doesn't stop me from saying there are some brilliant minds in advertising.– _salisae_4/17
  No argument there. The brilliant ones tended to be the same ones I couldn’t stand being near...– MrOneHundred5/17
  ...for myriad reasons (drunk/drug addict, sexist, racist, liar, etc)– MrOneHundred6/17
  You understand they're not all that way, correct? I could make a sweeping statement about drummers– _salisae_7/17
  for instance, but it wouldn't necessarily describe you. Generalities really peeve me.– _salisae_8/17
  ...and you would be largely correct. My beef has always been with the majority who cling to the cliché – good or bad.– MrOneHundred9/17
  every time– _salisae_10/17
  But, no, my current boss is a former Ad Man and he is great. I’ve just been burned by too many of the clichés– MrOneHundred11/17
  Not every time, just frighteningly often.– MrOneHundred12/17
  Making some generalisations has helped me repeat bad mistakes in choosing who I trust...– MrOneHundred13/17
  I’m don’t like making them, but when you need to drive a nail, it’s best to use a hammer.– MrOneHundred14/17
  hahah... helped me NOT repeat bad mistakes.
  * pages Dr Freud.– MrOneHundred15/17
  what happened? Difficult to put in a note I realize but I'm curious.– _salisae_16/17
  haha how about Freud's relative - Bernaise?– _salisae_17/17

for _salisae_;
I freelanced at a LOT of ad agencies and had a very strong rep as a “guy who solves problems”. I worked the bad hours, did the dirty jobs, saved some arses superior to mine and bent over backwards to please my temporary masters. I am happy to say I got paid well and had a lot of respect from my peers. At one point, I was desperate for full-time employment (the details of that desperation, I won’t share here). I was, basically promised permanent work with more-than-one agency and each time I got screwed over. One place I had been at for near 6 months with the promise of a job and I found out they hired a junior. The way I found out was when I turned up for work and she was sitting in my chair and introduced herself. When I fronted the CD about it, he said I had imagined the whole thing. Similar things happened more than once. Art directors taking credit for my work. Brainless copywriters getting paid 3 times my wage and “borrowing” ideas from me. Just the typical fun stuff you see on Mad Men. Yes, hard to put exactly into words, but you should be able to get the gist.
But there have been a few who I would consider mentors (two who strangely can’t even utter eachothers’ name). They can’t be generalised in any sense.
- I have to be discreet. My disguise on QBN is dangerously thin.– MrOneHundred1/8
  *pulls up trench coat collar and puts on dark glasses– _salisae_2/8
  Well, it is a very small industry where I am, and if I get into specifics, it could get nasty...– MrOneHundred3/8
  ...and I have put it behind me, where it belongs.– MrOneHundred4/8
  Are you making fun of me?– MrOneHundred5/8
  not at all i just felt like i created a risky situation for you.– _salisae_6/8
  putting it behind you is the best idea. sorry you had such screwy situations :/– _salisae_7/8
  That’s alright. I tend to be a little paranoid. I bet others have had it worse.– MrOneHundred8/8

My favorite episode so far for this season. You could see that car wreck coming a mile away.

Watched last night. Wow, Don's character is a bit darker this season. I am loving this season so far. The look on Don's face when Peggy called him Don was priceless.
...and speaking of Peggy, was that a dream or was Don really there in the hospital with her? Does he know about the kid?
- i'm pretty sure he was there. she repeated that line in the car after picking up bobbie & him.– Chief
