Mad Men's Don Draper Listens to The Beatles — For a Price
Louis Peitzman · 05/07/12 07:43PMThe Beatles may be the most important band of the 20th century — and feel free to debate that in the comments, even though you're wrong — but their recordings have been notably absent from the TV landscape. Aside from live performance footage, when was the last time you heard a Beatles song used on TV?
Jaguar's Real Ad Agency Sent Mad Men's Don Draper A Fake Letter
Neetzan Zimmerman · 04/19/12 04:43PMCarrot Creative — Jaguar USA's real-life ad agency — decided to have some fun at Don Draper's expense (and make themselves look extra savvy in the process) by "mailing" a snarky consolation letter to the offices of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, offering their "deepest condolences" to Mr. Draper for the fictional company's "recent difficulties in winning the Jaguar account."
Parks and Rec's Rashida Jones and Mad Men's John Slattery Team Up to Make Watch What Happens Entertaining For Once
Matt Toder · 04/16/12 11:43PMAndy Cohen's three ring circus of a talk show is usually only fun because it's live television and anything can happen. But, tonight his guests were the lovely Rashida Jones, from NBC's Parks and Recreation, and the dashing John Slattery, of AMC's Mad Men and it turned into a pretty fun half hour. Here's a highlight.
Why Is Hitler Selling Shampoo in Turkey?
Louis Peitzman · 03/26/12 07:07PM
There's probably a logical explanation for this, right? Either way, Turkey's Jewish community is none too thrilled about seeing Adolf Hitler in a TV ad for shampoo. Biota Laboratories, the company that makes Biomen shampoo, has refused to take the commercial off the air, explaining that it's "humorous." But as we all know from watching Mad Men, sometimes the client doesn't know best.
'Zou Bisou Bisou' and the Simple Charms of Mad Men
Rich Juzwiak · 03/26/12 11:30AMAbove is the Mad Men Season 5 premiere moment that had everyone talking immediately (never change, Internet, except to update yourself every few seconds). It's the performance of "Zou Bisou Bisou" (originally performed by Gillian Hills in 1960) by Don Draper's wife, Megan (Jessica Paré) at her husband's 40th surprise party. It was such a highlight that a callow shut-in would have been able to identify it as such.

Matt Toder · 03/02/12 12:51AMJon Hamm stopped by the Late Show with David Letterman tonight to ostensibly promote his new film Friends with Kids, but the conversation turned, naturally, to Mad Men, which premieres in just over three weeks. Who's excited?
I'm Sick of Waiting for TV Shows to Get Good

Brian Moylan · 11/14/11 03:54PMPan Am: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Men World
Brian Moylan · 09/26/11 11:24AMI can imagine last year at the Emmy's when Mad Men won for the third year in a row that all the networks execs were sitting around thinking, "We need to get us a Mad Men!" What came out of that thought is ABC's Pan Am, but their sweet '60s nostalgia lozenge isn't anywhere as easy to swallow as the original.
