Who knew that all you needed for a trendy TV show was a rotary phone?? [I think my house in Nashville had one right before the move…I had to unplug it for the dial-up internet.]
For those of you who don’t watch Mad Men – it is a show on AMC set in the 1960’s to which those of us who no longer need to watch Sunday night football are hopelessly devoted. (I am just amazed that in the 60s...three martini's at lunch made you terribly creative.)
There are even weekly chat logs all over the internet that thoroughly review each episode and what it might mean [not having to keep up with espn.com gives me extra time to look around the internet]. Some of the meaningful questions posed include the following:
- What does the wedding invitation for November 23, 1963, coming just a day after Kennedy's assassination mean? [Besides someone is in for a really shitty wedding?]
- What does the pink fainting couch symbolize [Ummmm, that a gay boy is on the writing team?]
- Oranges are a portent of death. So when Gene remarked that his ice cream "tastes like chocolate but smells like oranges," I figured he was a goner. [Really? don’t tell the Volunteer nation about that orange thing.]
- Does the Aquanet pitch showing four people seated in a convertible foreshadow the Kennedy assassination? [I really don’t think you get to elevate it to foreshadowing if it involves an Aquanet commercial]
When they make a nostalgic show about the "naught" decade (the '0x years)...do you think they will just show a bunch of people blogging?
