   Is there anyway I can get AMC in the UK? Or am I going to have to wait an extra day and download it like I did for all of season one… : (

   A quick note of THANKS to Deb and Roberta for keeping the fire burning during the off-season.

   I used to go on the AMC blog faithfully after every episode. It was pretty hit-or-miss over there during the season, and then it totally died off after the last episode.

   BoK has been a wonderful way to keep the juices flowing through the hell known as “October07-through-July08″. Lots of great posts, thoughts, discussion and info.

   Thanks ladies!

   Aww, thanks Bert! You’ve been here since pretty much the beginning, I think… thanks for your contributions.

   So AMC in the UK is a no go?

   Cute article about Jon Hamm in Parade Magazine.

   And I agree with B. Cooper. Thank you for all the wonderful insight and making these many months until the second season actually livable.

   Harry, I don’t live in the UK. You would know better than I would.

   Harry, I know the time difference is disorienting, but your posts are marked with our time (Eastern US). You posted at 6am our time and came back at 9:47 to find out why you hadn’t been answered yet.

   At 6 I was asleep. At 8 I was making coffee. At 9 I was still drinking coffee.

   I know that we’re so damn wonderful that it seems like we’re here all the time, but that’s just an illusion created by our fabulosity.

   Well honestly, I was up, but hadn’t planned on answering. Because I didn’t have an answer. We don’t always respond to every comment or inquiry.

    San Francisco Chronicle’s Tim Goodman has a long column about Mad Men. I didn’t read it because of I was afraid of a bit of spoilage.

    Doing a Mad Man dinner party tonight. After the show cognac and talk.

    Another from across the pond here – in Germany. I found Mad Men on Itunes and can’t wait to hear what happens. Would love to know where to find spoilers. I do get to watch next weeks in the States though And thank you Lipp sisters for your site – Wunderbar!! Say it the German way or the Roger Sterling way – it works!

    Claudia, we have an anti-spoiler policy here, so if you find them, PLEASE DON’T tell us.

    Hi Harry – AMC is a US cable station, and BBC-4 picked up the contract for airing MM in the UK (I believe). Since the first season aired several months behind the US, I imagine that finding it on the internet (or buying it off iTunes) would be the fastest way to catch Season 2. :/

    Hi Everyone Else – I am so excited for tonight! Looking forward to popping by tonight for a consistent, intelligent discussion about the premier…

    I just discovered your site today, as I was messing around online getting ready for the Season 2 premiere. I’m a little late to the Mad Men game (I just started watching a week or so ago when I found out my cable system had the entire Season 1 on AMC ON DEMAND) but I see you have a wealth of information on here (and no spoilers, thankfully). I will definitely be visiting you regularly throughout Season 2!

    (Actually, I came for the timeline stuff, and as you point out, it’s a little more than screwed up. I thought it was only me, since I wasn’t born until the 70s and didn’t really have a grasp on it.)

    Again, great work on the site!

    And John, cognac sounds fantastic. I’m going to opt for some single malt scotch, personally. I might fill the water cooler with creme de menthe at work tomorrow, it should help me get through Monday.
