    I'm not sure where they got the list of actors, but a top 50 that doesn't include Meryl Streep? #robertebert

    @Go Like Hell Machine: Now that you mention it, where's Denzel Washington or Will Smith? (They should've been top 50)

    The wording on the other site doesn't source their list, so we might have to assume that it's whomever popped into the author's mind.

    @Go Like Hell Machine: Now see, Freeman is a great actor, but he has made some cash-based choices.

    And because you've given me a chance to clarify my original response; I didn't mean to imply that Will Smith is in the pantheon of great actors, but most people find him watchable and the critics like him.

    Oh my good god I actually quite like this show, and especially this episode, but find that every single person I try to communicate with about it on the internet is insane or has no idea whatsoever about why the characters do what they do.

    "Why does [character X] not respond to this situation as I would, in the year 2009?"

    "That is not what I would do, because I know about these things and these people obviously do not. What is wrong with them, are they living in another period of history or something?"

    No wonder so many people are put off about the show's hype; if the series itself doesn't disappoint you (which I admit, it does many), the amount of people watching a period piece who are confused about why people behave differently during an isolated period of time in history that is obtuse to our own present will likely drive you to either drink or straight into the arms of Two And A Half Men. Enthusiasm for something is so very much a double-edged sword. #television

    Don would make a lovely mother! This will tie in nicely with Brooks Brothers maternity line as well.

    And considering that they are all dinosaurs, the question really becomes whom is eating whom, but that's been the basic plot for three seasons now I guess. #television

    I've fallen asleep during ever episode this season except the one where stuff actually happened. I'm not exaggerating here. I begin with the full intention of watching the entire show, but all the low voices, low lighting and lack of plot movement lull me to sleep faster than trazodone. Apparently I've lost interest in checking out period details, searching for clues in references to real-life events, and attempting to decipher the Drapers. Please, bring on the dinosaurs! #television

    @lionboy: I love Mad Men, but admit that trying to figure out the Drapers can be exhausting.

    I don't know whether you've seen the first two seasons. If you check them out on demand or by Netflicks, I think we'll convert you to our side yet. Resistance is futile. :) #television

    @OrneryBabe: The second season was especially good. I think this season has been somewhat mixed, but I've enjoyed it more than season 1 which I wouldn't rewatch given the choice, and in a way I think it had to be mixed because of the strange stories it is putting out to forward the storyline to wherever it will be when we flashforward a few years for the next season. But yes, less Don having sex with whomever without a motivating factor to justify this behavior, and more Sal/Peggy/Joan/Trudiedancinglikeaninsaneperson... in the future showrunners. #television

    @OrneryBabe: I did watch the first two seasons and enjoyed them very much. I enthusiastically recommended it to friends and co-workers and enjoyed sharing opinions on Monday mornings. This season, though, leaves me mostly indifferent. It's as though everyone is now disillusioned and dissatisfied with their lives and are just wandering around aimlessly. This might be well-crafted social commentary, but it is also snooze-inducing teevee. #television

    In reply to These Are Your Excuses For Not Watching Mad Men Tonight
    It is completely de rigueur,
    In these times of ennui,
    To love a book or show no one knows,
    In the name or irony.

    But you kids who watch TV,
    And twitter-text, while talking on a cell,
    have the attention span of flies,
    still waiting for a school bell.

    And when the unheard of becomes popular,
    and instant gratification takes too long,
    you hate the very things whose praises you once sang.

    This show requires TOTAL attention.
    And a sense of history
    And so much more...

    Go Matt Weiner!!!! (And no, I've never even met him.) #madmen

    Remember when Charlie Brown goes trick-or-treating? Everyone inventories the candy they got except for poor Chuck who sadly announces, "I got a rock." Also remember how his ghost costume had holes all over it because he had trouble with the scissors? I'm now picturing Real Tears Chrissy (TM) back in Minnesota with his kite stuck in a tree crying "Aaaaargh!" #projectrunway
