Mad Men' Cheat Sheet: What You Need to Know for Season Six (Season Premiere Tonight)

One of the many reasons Mad Men has kept us hooked for five-plus seasons is its ability to cram (approximately) an entire year’s worth of action into 13 episodes, and yet the last moments of every season finale make it seem as if the drama is just beginning. In Season Three, we ended on the first day of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce's existence. Season Four it was Don and Megan's surprise engagement. But it was the bleak Season Five (one episode was called "Dark Shadows," for heaven’s sake!) that gave us Mad Men's most cliffhanger-esque finale to date: For a good nine months, we’ve been dying to know what Don’s answer to that mysterious blonde in the bar was – or what year the show will even be in when it returns this Sunday

My eyes just glazed over.

The buzz in the press for this season was Don Draper’s swim suit scenes.

Seems he gives Big Red a run for the money in the series’ physical eye candy category

You need to prep for Mad Men/s ;)

[MagUSNRET]

I HAD to ping you to this ;-)

[Kartographer]

Not only do my eyes glaze over, but I swear I almost go into a coma just watching the ads!

Now if I want to watch 'Mad Men' I watch what Me TV calls the original 'Mad Men'!

Thanks for posting!! One of my favorite shows and I didn’t know it was coming on tonight.

I’ve never missed an episode. But it was good reading the article for reminders because of the long lapses between seasons.

[TomGuy]

I need a memory refresher.

In one episode, Draper ‘killed’ a woman and disposed of the body.

Was that a dream, a day dream, or what came of that? I don’t recall it being addressed in future episodes.

[Future Snake Eater]

Don used her body as a mannequin for the Macy’s account presentation. Nobody noticed.

This thread compels me to post this picture:

Hey. I spy with my little eye Darrin from Bewitched in that pic! I think he was also in advertising but he’s not hot like Don Draper. My eyes light up at him! LOL

[retrokitten]

I've been counting down for months!

I've been rewatching season 5 the past couple of weeks and I'm surprised I don't hate Megan nearly as much the second time around.

[Kid Shelleen]

Was that a dream, a day dream,
Definitely a dream (see posted story). I don't think it was addressed again. Maybe it was some type of foreshadowing..

[MagUSNRET]

I don’t even watch the program but I ADORE and LONG for your pics of Joan on the AI thread :-)

Look what wearing those spike heels has done to this ppor woman’s feet:

It was a dream. Weiner said it was Don trying to kill that part of himself and be a family man on the straight and narrow.

[retrokitten]

Oh there are some great ones out there lately, too, that I am dying to use.

[Kid Shelleen]

if you google around for pictures Jessica Pare’ you will not be disappointed ..

[GenXteacher]

Hmm..when looking at Christina Hendricks, I can’t seem to look down....and I doubt she can see her own feet much :)
