But this is adorable:
All in all, that’s a lot to pack into a mere 47 minutes of TV, one night a week—astonishing, really, considering that each episode of Mad Men, with its scrupulous period detail, is shot in just seven days on a budget that, at an average $2.8 million an episode this season, even a lot of indie-film producers would scoff at.
,,,“I’m of the persuasion that budget contraints are very, very good for creativity. I think people having unlimited amounts of money makes you really lazy. And I will be quoted on that, believe it or not.” The speaker turning his back on decades of Hollywood wisdom was Matthew Weiner, 44, the auteur behind Mad Men ...
Please. PLEASE constrain me with $2.8 million dollars an episode.
In the Comments, your favorite Mad Men moment. I'll put mine in the comments to avoid spoilers up here.
When Pete pimps out his wife to get his story published. That's ... so dark and original.
ReplyDeletePlease, please constrain me with $2.8M per movie!
ReplyDeleteHoly crap, the P & P scene at the end of last season. I was literally frozen in place while watching. Shattering.
ReplyDeleteSo, what you're saying is that Mad Men - a tv show set in an office, who's biggest expenses are suits, cigarettes, and brylcreem - gets $2.8 million an episode?
ReplyDeleteAnd "Leverage," which gives us explosions, plane heists, and Timothy Hutton, does it all for less than that?
You're either making that up, or you're the most creative television show producers...ever.
I'd say any scene with Paul Kinsey, but I'm horribly biased.The more screen time my brother gets, the happier I am.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite scene thus far is probably Joan confrontng Paul about his girlfriend. So cruel, but so right....
Wow tough to choose just one, Don telling Duck he didn't have a contract was pretty good on a visceral level.
ReplyDeleteI'd say to pick just one: the flashback to Don visiting Peggy at the hospital.
Fave moment: I can't remember the exact episode, but when Don and Betty are driving home in his new car from the excruciating night out with Jimmy Barrett; the long awkward silence followed by Betty vomiting and quick cut to the credits.
ReplyDeletePretty much all of The Jet Set. Playing on spy movie tropes blew up the format of the show while still dramatising Don's depression. It was like seeing Matt Helm on holiday.
ReplyDeleteAt least, that's how I saw it.
Also great: Don making Roger Sterling eat and drink to bursting point, then making him walk up to the office just to get him back for an earlier slight. That was when I finally started liking the show. (A lot of the 1st season left me cold. Shoot me!)
The Don / Roger oyster incident was a treat - but I think the California interlude is some of the best TV I've ever seen - subtle, beautifully produced and acted, and always suprising.
ReplyDeleteWhen Betty picks up that rifle and takes aim... that was when the psychological backdrop of the series really came home to roost, and I just about cheered.

In fairness, Mad Men is a period show and getting the "look" for a period show can get ridiculously expensive in a hurry. The character wardrobes all have to be vintage. The set dressing has to be vintage or made-to-order to imitate vintage. Don't even get me started on the upkeep costs of classic cars.
But yes, Leverage gets made for chump change and it is horribly impressive how they stretch a budget.
Don Draper hanging out with the beatniks, listening to Sketches of Spain by Miles Davis. It's like a portrait of everything I love about that show.
ReplyDeleteDon's Kodak slide carriage pitch still gets to me--when he realises he's actually in love with his wife, and it's too late? DAMN. That was hardcore.
ReplyDeleteYou know seeing some of the advertising presentations always seemed to impress me. From Don Draper and the Kodak Slide Carousel to Peggy and the Popsicle Account it's great to see the development process. It's the culminating work moments that bring everyone there and you see what no one else sees; the personal background that went into making those moments.
ReplyDeleteAll of the above, plus few that haven't been mentioned yet:
ReplyDelete1. That moment at episode's end when Joan rubs at the mark the bra strap has left in her shoulder. Says everything that needs to be said.
2. Pete, alone in his office, powerless and holding his rifle.
3. The ENTIRE SCENE where Peggy meets with the church committee she's designed a flyer for. I could barely watch that, it was so true.
4. Father Gill offering Peggy that Easter egg, "for the little one."
5. The scene in S1 where Sal turns down the visiting (male) client's advance.
And a bonus!
- Kenneth the Page on 30 Rock, falling to the floor, asphyxiating from an allergic reaction, croaks out "My real name is Dick Whitman."
When Roger comes in from the hospital for his meeting, and a choked up Joan finally gets time alone with him, and he tells her with such earnestness that she's "the finest piece of ass he's ever had." Joan's reaction shot just broke my heart.
ReplyDeleteSecond would be Betty looking at little Sally wandering around inside a dry cleaning bag and telling her she's in big trouble if the clothes that were the bag are on the floor.
Joan. Joan is my favorite scene.
ReplyDeleteOther than her: the scene where Rivers of Babylon is being played over the different storylines is some of the best interaction between music and television I've seen.

ReplyDeleteI've been re-watching S2 to get ready, and my favorite scene is probably in 'The Gold Violin', the party scene during which Jimmy Barrett insinuates to Betty that Don cheated on her with his wife, then proceeds to tell Don he's "garbage, and you know it", which is pretty much true. It's kind of the catalyst for what happens to Betty afterwards.
ReplyDeleteWhen Betty picks up that rifle and takes aim...
ReplyDeleteDitto. That was when I fell in love with the show.
$2.8M an episode...
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...
Don not having a contract is one of my favorite moments of television ever.
ReplyDeleteThe opening of 1.03, when the guy on the bus is freaking out that it's Dick, Dick Whitman. I got vertigo, was just like, "Wait, wait his name's not even Don Draper? And that's how you open the third episode?!?" Genius.
ReplyDeleteAnd pretty much any scene with Roger. My buddy calls him The Silver Fox. As in, "I need more Silver Fox in my life."
"The scene in S1 where Sal turns down the visiting (male) client's advance."
ReplyDeleteDitto. That was so sad, and it said so much about what being gay at that time must have been like.
And the scene when Peggy tells Pete she'd given away his child. Devastating, and so well played by both actors.
Oh, so many possibilities.
ReplyDeleteBest "things were different" moment: The Drapers cleaning up after their roadside picnic by tossing a beer can into the woods and shaking paper plates and wrappers off of a blanket onto the grass.
Drama:
As many others have chosen . . . the last scenes of "The Wheel."
Oh, and I love those episode titles. Sometimes the connection is trivial ("The Mountain King"). Sometimes it smashes you on the head. ("The Gold Violin.")
Kind of like in the movie Tequila Sunrise with Mel Gibson where he's watching the TV report about how some coke is worth "$$$ on the street" and he's like, "Please show me that street. Just once."
ReplyDeleteIOW, yes. Good times.
Please, please constrain me with $2.8 thousand per episode...
ReplyDeleteBeginning of the series. Knowing the raves, seeing the name of the first episode is "Smoke gets in your eyes", then seeing Don seated at the bar, with a glass and a smoke. I knew right away it deserved all it got.
ReplyDeleteAlready mentioned, but, from season 2, with Peggy in the hospital:
ReplyDelete"This. Never. Happened. It will shock you how much it never happened."
And:
"Kennedy Vs. Nixon," when Paul's play is discovered and he's soundly mocked for it--
cutting on a dime to the final moments of an impromptu performance of said play, as the audience watches, enthralled.
Yeah mad men deserves all the awards it got and i think it deserves alot more then this.In future they gonna win more and more awards in each category .
ReplyDeleteDon's pillow talk confession of his entire life story to Rachel. It's a very straight monologue, but it brings together how Don sees the back story that's been pieced together across the entire first series.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the scene where the kids are suffocating each other with the dry cleaning bag and Betty cautions them that they better not have thrown her dress on the floor.
Mark
Definitely Don "counseling" Peggy in the hospital. As I said on Alan Sepinwall's blog the day after the episode originally aired, on any other show that line would have been delivered by the [i]villain[/i].
ReplyDeleteAll of it, natch.
ReplyDeleteTwo big ones for me from the second season:
Don tells off the chipmunks when they're standing around outside the blood drive making fun of Freddy Rumsen's wetting himself.
Every single minute of January Jones' performance in the Betty-falls-apart-at-home episode. She's done a great job with the role from the start, but it's just scary how good she gets during the second season.
And I don't normally do this, but my Word Verification word is "prossers". Really, Blogger?
My favorite scene thus far is probably Joan confrontng Paul about his girlfriend. So cruel, but so right....
