7818: Mad Men Makes You Gag.


AMC series Mad Men kicked off its 4th season by continuing the erasure of culture. A new agency office means Hollis the elevator attendant is gone. And the peculiar living arrangements between Don and Betty Draper make Carla the housekeeper’s status uncertain too. However, a woman Don dated made civil rights references to “the boys killed in Mississippi” and Andrew Goodman. Additionally, there was a Black woman in the background of a diner where Pete Campbell and Peggy Olson met. The best acting moment of the episode involved young Sally Draper gagging on a marshmallow during Thanksgiving dinner. Viewers with brains can look forward to more gagging in the months ahead.
