Mad Men 3x01

Now, let’s head to TV land, where I’ve been slyly catching a couple of Mad Men episodes per week because it’s so incredibly good. (When I first wrote this paragraph it was actually November 1st ... I just didn’t want to inundate you with all my reviews... hehe...) Let’s turn to Season Three, shall we? And what a season premiere it is! Whoa! We start off with flashbacks to Don’s mysterious and disturbing past ... I love those moments. This time we learn something about his birth. Back in 1963, Don and Bets are happily expecting.

There are new faces at Sterling Cooper, due to the international merger. Lane Pryce is the new financial officer, who’s been causing much stress by cutting personnel. However, he also makes snailface Pete head of accounts. When Pete did his little victory dance I finally realized who he reminds of: Pee Wee Herman! Moments later Pryce also offers the position to Ken! Uhoh! When Pete finds out next day, he’s absolutely livid, while Ken is genuinely happy to be offered the chance to prove himself. Everybody calls Pryce’s secretary simply John, but he wants to be addressed as “Mr. Hooker”! (Ahahaha! How do you come up with this stuff?)

Don and Salvatore visit the raincoat maker London Fog in Baltimore. In the airplane, the stewardess candidly flirts with them and proposes they meet in the hotel. Naturally she joins Don to his room at the end of the night. Meanwhile Salvatore finally gives in to his homosexual urges with the bellhop! Yay him! Then, right when Don is making out with the girl, and Salvatore with the boy ... the fire alarm rings loudly throughout the hotel! Hahaha! LMAO! Saved by the bell, shall we say?
