Mad Men Review- Smiling Dick

Spoiler alert...Below are some thoughts on last night's episode of Mad Men, 'The Good News'. So watch the ep, get yourself a big Texas belt buckle, then read what I had to say.

Lane- "We're not homosexuals, we're divorced!"

Last night, over at TV Fanatic, I reviewed the third episode of Mad Men's fourth season, 'The Good News'. I thought it was a really good episode. Mad Men does this sometimes, so it's hard to say it wasn't very Mad Men-eque, but in a way it was. When I think of the show I currently think of the office, and Don's life in New York. So whenever he makes his trip out to California, things just seem more fun. Don himself always seems more fun in La La Land. So for those reasons it already was ahead of the curve.

Add to that the fantastic dynamic between Don and Lane during the last 15 minutes and you have a straight banger of an ep. These are middle aged guys who are currently down on their luck in relationships (and business) who go out for a night on the town as a couple of bachelors. The movies, a fancy restaurant, a comedy show, and a couple of hookers? What more can you ask for on New Year's? Lane coming out of his proverbial shell was just what the doctor ordered for me.

So head on over to TV Fanatic and read my review, recap and quotes from the ep. Or just say "what's up?" on the comments.
