Mad Men

Did you watch? Do you have Zou Bisou Bisou in your head?
(The song means Oh! Kiss! Kiss! and is about sexual liberation)

The burlesque number Don Draper's new wife, 

Megan sang to him at his surprise birthday party. 

The first episode set up where the characters are now
and how they feel about their lives since we've last seen them. 

Which seems like forever. 

Joan is miserable stuck in her apartment with her new baby...

and overbearing mother. 

I can't wait til she gets back to work full time.

 I love Don's wife. 

She's interesting, liberated and is a good addition to the cast. 

We didn't see January Jones, Betty Draper...if we did I don't remember it.

The overlying men-rule-the-workplace hasn't changed. 

The women are mainly secretaries or treated as second class. 

The good thing about Mad Men is the social commentary 

it gives us about a particular time in American History. 

I love a good social movement.

Especially one that's already happened that I didn't get to watch on the news.
Til next week...
