POLL: MAD MEN: Which tier?

[KickTheBobo]

I got one more disc to go for Season One, and figure the show is a solid Tier 2.

The slide projector presentation almost made me cry.

Isn't that in the last episode of the season?  Are you skipping around?

oh MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! I thought it was a 5-disc season. I was looking forward to renting it tonight.

I guess I'm off to the season 2 torrents.

[Chris L]

Off to a promising start this year.   I lol'd @ Roger's daughter's wedding date! 

[MattJohnson]

I think if it wasn't already Tier 1 in the first season, it became Tier 1 in the second. Obviously I can't say anything about this season yet, though some of the stuff that's happened has me worried. The fire alarm in the season premiere, for example, was pretty clumsy. Then again, there were a few similar things in season 2...

[Chris L]

I burst out laughing at the fire alarm.  That poor bastard Sal.   

I have my reservations about the British takeover plot but it's way too early to tell how that'll go.   Also not looking forward to Betty's poor dad hanging around.  A couple more ep 2 moments seem odd the more I think about them... what was with that Peggy/Don look at the end anyway?

[B_Buster]

My guess is Peggy's about to go nuts and I'm not even looking forward to it. This show does nothing for me at this point. Also, are Joan's breasts even larger than in the previous 2 seasons? One can only hope that she's eventually tapped by Russ Meyers.

[Sarah]

I think Joan is larger all over than in the previous two seasons. 

[Christina]

@BB-I usually get bogged down about 1/2 way thru the second season of most shows - I started losing interest in Mad Men right about on schedule.

As for Joan, perhaps Tarantino will contact her for his Faster Pussycat remake.

[yesno]

I still love this show but it's never been about the acting, stories, or anything else.  I can barely remember "plot" elements from last season, they're so uninteresting.  It's about sweet costumes and interior design and funny bigoted moments that let use feel superior.

"The British are just sucking money out of the company and aren't interested in long-term success" and "Peggy is going nuts" seem to be being telegraphed pretty obviously.  We'll see.

Peggy just needs to settle down with a nice man and to give up on these silly career ambitions.

[Chris L]

How is Peggy going (more) nuts?  Sleeping w/ some random dude?  Doing an Ann Margaret impression in front of a mirror?  Hell, if those were signs of mental illness half of this board would be committed.

I don't want to read too much of the thread because I plan on starting to watch MAD MEN sometime over the next few weeks.

But I'm curious about one thing that I looked through the thread to find. What tier would you all place LOST on?

[masterofsparks]

Depending on which season I'm watching and my mood, I'd put Lost somewhere between tiers 2 & 3.

Did you hear about the itunes screw up where they actually put episode 3 up? It was reported that episode 3 has something to do with Peggy and marijuana.

[Phantom Hugger]

I predict that this show will end with Don at Woodstock.

...thoughts?

[orator]

I bet it will end with a shot of Don sitting in a chair and smoking a cigarette while staring at a wall or a window, or maybe even another chair.

[yesno]

Don's going to end up in jail for stealing that dude's identity and going AWOL.
