		<description>Wisefish, it would be too soon to tell. In 1960, you had to be at least 8 weeks pregnant to know for sure; but the effort was apparently enough.</description>

		<description>I didn&#039;t watch the show until the second run I guess because all I saw was the shortened scene where the FIL wants Pete to make a baby with Trudy.

Now that I read there was originally more to this scene, I wonder if we are supposed to assume that since Pete got the Clearasil account, there actually is a bun in the oven?  Or does he get the account just for making the effort?</description>

		<description>In my research I came across an interesting item in the advertising section of the NYT from  the second week of January 1961 about hat-wearing habits. It was an article about an ad of a guy who wasn&#039;t wearing a hat. The point of the ad was to show that only beatniks and slobs went hatless. The dude looks totally normal by current standards but I guess he was horrifyingly sloppy even in the early 60s (the ad agency had a difficult time finding a hatless dude, even in the Village). I thought it was such a neat little item but I just couldn&#039;t fit it into the thing I was working on. 

From what I understand, JFK set a non-hat wearing trend when he became the first president to attend an inauguration without a hat. It&#039;s funny how fast these trends disappear, no? In the span of two weeks, hats became a thing of the past.

But the larger point is that I&#039;m going to miss the snappy outfits.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t love the hats all that much; they look out of place by 1960; you want 1955 for a beautiful hat era. But I do love the de riguer suits, and I dread Jon Hamm in sideburns.</description>

		<description>I really don&#039;t understand the way AMC is handling the show. They took a huge risk with their first series, hit a critical home run and now they seem to be sabotaging their chances of reaching a wider public. Lots of people are curious about the show but the schedule doesn&#039;t fit in with their viewing habits. Maybe AMC is planning a marathon closer to the beginning of the new season. 

I&#039;m intrigued by the concept of a show skipping ahead several years but I too am kinda bummed about moving from the era, although for different reasons than Glass&#039; gentleman friend. I&#039;m going to miss the men in hats.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;We didn’t burn toast already?&lt;/i&gt;

We squeezed toothpaste, damaged calm, harshed happy, perched nerves, and had stinky paws, but we did not burn toast.</description>

		<description>And I realize I just moved from the point -- see what happens when you post from work? Bad!

I know it must be crazy-making to see AMC continually undervaluing this show. It&#039;s frustrating to me, and I&#039;m just getting the news secondhand. 

I plan on lending out my DVDs to any interested party, showing I have seemingly more interest in advertising and promoting this show than they do.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been lucky in having my experince with the show being downloaded and complete episodes. 

I was talking to my best friend, who happens to be of the male persuasion, and telling him that the series was jumping ahead in time. I think I broke his heart. He loves women in old-fashioned stockings and is in no hurry for the legwear to change.</description>
