Seriously, where are the recaps at???

Yeah, okay. Talk is cheap. I really wanted to do those Mad Men Season 3 recaps, but other things came up and I wasn't ever able to make it a priority. I've pretty much abandoned all hope of ever doing them.

Fortunately, Mad Men is pretty well covered elsewhere on the Internet. You don't need me. But I still feel bad about it, because I said I'd do it, and I know I'd enjoy it. However, I'd feel much worse if I bailed on any of the other things I've committed to instead.

So... no new recaps for the forseeable future. :-(

Where are the Mad Men Season 3 recaps??

Hey! I'm still planning to do them. I started a new job last month and got busy with that, and then my Season 5 DVDs arrived. I just finished those this week, and they BLEW MY MIND!

So now I'm all caught up, and will pick up with season 3 recaps again soon. (Warning: "soon" could be as late as after the holidays. It probably won't be, though. I am on fire for this stuff. I can't wait to get back to it.)

Mad Men season 4 begins July 25

And I still don't have cable, so I won't be recapping it. But at least now you know what to set your calendar to.

I have Season 3 on DVD, but when I will get around to watching it, and when or if I'll have time to recap it, is another mystery.

Mad Men Season 3 Marathon Sunday

On Sunday, AMC will air all of season 3 so far in a marathon starting at 10 AM Eastern. Here's the schedule.

You can also keep up with Mad Men on Facebook and Twitter.

Mad Men takes 2 more big Emmy wins

Awesomely, but not surprisingly, Mad Men notched itself a couple more awards last night for Outstanding Drama Series and for writing ("Meditations in an Emergency"). Congrats!

Mad Men earns most drama noms for Emmy

The good news is that Mad Men, a show that comes from a humble standard cable channel, has the most Emmy nominations in the Drama category this year. 16 of 'em!

I am psyched beyond words!

The bad news is that I no longer have standard cable, so when the new season begins in August, I won't be able to recap it. At least not promptly. I'm going to try to get someone to tape it for me so that I can recap it eventually, but this blog will sadly not be the go-to place for timely recaps.

I am bummed beyond words about that!

Updated Mad Men recap and post-season miscellany

I've updated the season-end recap with some minor corrections and additional detail. Sorry for the delay. I have a hard time dealing with "last episodes."

If you watch Boston Legal, look out for actor Mark Moses, aka Mad Men's Duck Phillips, in Monday night's episode.

If you watch The Office, you may or may not have recognized actor Rich Sommer, aka Mad Men's Harry Crane, without his glasses. He was Pam's friend in New York. I knew he looked familiar, but I couldn't figure out where I'd seen him before!

Last but not least, you can read Frank O'Hara's poem "Meditations in an Emergency" for free at this site. Please note that this is only the title poem... the book Meditations in an Emergency contains many more.

"The Simpsons" pays tribute to "Mad Men"

That was the season finale, but we're not done just yet! Mark your calendars for The Simpsons on November 2. They'll be doing a Mad Men tribute.

Jon Hamm hosting Saturday Night Live 10/25

D'oh! I forgot to watch Jeopardy on Friday, so I totally missed the Man Men-inspired category.

But I'm not going to forget to watch Jon Hamm host SNL on 10/25.

Mad Men on Jeopardy & next episode preview

Straight from AMC's PR people:

On Friday, October 17, Jeopardy! will feature a category inspired by Mad Men and the early 1960s.

Starting today, October 13, Jeopardy! has an online version of its Mad Men game.

Details at AMC's Mad Men blog.

Also, there are only two more episodes left in this season. Next episode preview here. Pete receives unwelcome news. Wotta grouch!

Next time on Mad Men

Here's a longer preview of the next episode. Looks like Peggy just casually created a new product.

Betty Draper plans a 3-way?

Another Mad Men Episode 9 teaser clip

Also, I've copied all of the Season 2 recaps so far from the old site. I backdated them to 9/22 so that the more timely stuff didn't get shoved to the very bottom of the page.

Mad Men stuff

Obviously, I haven't gotten around to sprucing up the site yet, but I have some Mad Men stuff to share:

• Mad Men Season 2 so far: Thursday September 25, 4 pm to midnight ET. (Sorry for the short notice - I just found out!)
  
  
• There was a "You Could Be on Mad Men Contest" that I also didn't know about. Poo. (I'm in the loop now, though, baby!) People submitted video clips of themselves as a Mad Men character. The winning video is a scream.
  
  
• You've probably already seen the ad for Sunday's episode a million times, but here's a bonus preview clip. Honestly, if I hadn't been told that this was a preview clip, I would have guessed that it was something they shot as a joke; it's surreal, and the guys are obviously out of their element. Also, this intriguing photo.
