Just in time for Thanksgiving-- nostalgia, family, love

The Carousel pitch, Mad Men:
This episode was actually taking place Thanksgiving week-- Don didn't want to drive to his in-laws house out of town for the holiday.
Such amazing writing, acting, and attention to period detail.
Love how Harry Crane, who has been having issues with his wife; essentially kicked out of the house and sleeping on his office sofa, gets choked up and has to leave.
And the episode's ending--As Don rides the train back to suburban Ossining, he imagines arriving home as his wife Betty and the kids have finished packing for their trip. "I'm coming with you," Don says. Betty, emotional, watches as he picks up the kids, kissing their heads. But when he really does arrive home, he arrives to find the house already empty. He sits on the steps and holds his head in his hands.
Some of the best television ever.

I always tell folks if you’re going to start MM, you have to give it until that episode before you quit. It hooks you.
My current comfort watch is Mad Men episodes running back to back on the AMC Stories channel on YTTV.

I probably started this series three or four times before it finally clicked for me. I don't know what episode it was. Now, it's basically number two behind The Sopranos for favorite tv show.

That happened to me too, the first time I watched. Dunno what my problem was, but at some point, the wife started watching it and I slowly got hooked. Now it's one of a handful of shows we rewatch regularly. It really is a great show...

That show had some incredible touching moments and that was definitely one of them.
