  • Name the Brands!

    Name the Brands!

    I was talking with a friend about how a few years ago, one of the threats to the show (remember the awful contract negotions?) was product placement. With all our fabulous bible upkeep and the like, we don’t have one list of “sponsors.” Kodak, Utz, Jaguar, Heineken, Heinz…. let’s go, Basketcases! We want to hear [...]

    Fan Art Thursday 5/16/13 Mad Men SCDP by Alan Segama

    Here’s a fine minimalist print from artist Alan Segama.  You can buy prints of it here.  Hmm, I wonder if Don is beginning to regret his latest merger.  Man, I miss Lane!

    Don Draper Wants You to Dump Him

    Towards the end of Man with a Plan, after Sylvia has decided that one man in her life power-tripping her is enough for her and has ended it with Don, and Megan is happily and obliviously chattering away to Don about how nice it would be to have a romantic getaway without the kids (which [...]

    Okay fine I still love Rachel Menken

    When Deb and I were at the Paley Center, we each had a chance at the mike. Now, picking a question for these things is always a challenge. In some ways, I don’t have that many questions. I mean sure, I want to sit down with every one of them and pick their brains, but [...]

    PSA: The Valerie Center Annual 5K Run/Walk

    Hey Basketcasers – If you’ll allow me a post of a personal nature, Deb and Roberta have permitted me some space to stump for a very wonderful cause. My son Leo completed treatment for leukemia (ALL) in 2010.  He now an amazing 9 year old with dirty knees and a raging chocolate chip pancake addiction. [...]

    There’s No Number

    For a guy who spends a lot of time moving on, Don Draper has a hard time letting go of the women in his life who want to do the same. When Rachel dumped him in Season 1, he was paralyzed. Betty threw him out in Season 2; he tried to talk her out of [...]

    Episode 607 Recap: Time to Go Home

    Deb’s out of town tonight. Boss is away! We’re having a recap party up in here! The bad news is, we have more creme de menthe than anything else. The good news: we’re not telling Paul Kinsey, so there’s no chance of a bad play breaking out. Here now with the recap, White T Jim [...]

  • Casting Call

    Casting Call

      Cast a novel, play, musical, television show or movie with the characters of Mad Men. It can be from the era of Mad Men, something from decades before, or something more modern. I’m going to present a partial list from Bewitched as an example: Don-Darrin Megan-Serena Joan-Endora Gender-bending is allowed, if you think it [...]

  • Harry, Harry, Harry...

    Harry, Harry, Harry…

    I miss the old Harry Crane.  You remember old Harry, the lovable doofus of Sterling Cooper, the office schmoozer who’d screw up his assignments?  Despite his flaws, he had a sweetness and gait about him that reminded me of my late father (Bill), right down to the horn-rimmed glasses and white short sleeved shirts.  Yet [...]
