It's Looking Like A 1960's Costume Party
25 October 2019
Bad episode. Wow. Really bad. Seems like all the actors and basically acting. There's a kind of hush, or whisper, as if no one is really behind the lines they're speaking. Worse yet, since this is the latter sixties, everyone at the office has totally fake looking wigs and beards, it's starting to become really cheap-looking. I long for the early 1960's.

The problem of Peggy's ad being changed because of a comic's Vietnam jokes on Carson is far-fetched so say the least. Betty's friendship with her daughter's bratty musician friend is strange and awkward... Roger and the whole LSD thing is incredibly stupid since the writers think dropping acid is like seeking some new age religion...

Thank God that Don Draper always remains looking the same because it would be just horrible if HE TOO had to wear phony 60's garb or sideburns, etc...

Don, get back to screwing around, and pitching, two things he does best...
