Mad Men Premier

Anyone else watch?

Looks like they skipped ahead about a year and SCDP appears to be doing relatively well. I didn't get to see enough Betty and a little too much of Don...looks like he has some kinky fetishes in the bedroom.

I'm not too sure SCDP is doing well. I was under the impression that they have extended themselves to a VERY risky point (71% of all their $$ is coming from Lucky Strike) and I think that will be a major story-line for the next few weeks, if not the entire season.

I see your point...they did make a big issue about not having a second floor and not having a conference room table. Nonetheless, they are not operating out of a hotel room any longer and Don's Glo-Coat ad campaign has clearly made a big splash with industry rags wanting to interview him. The other partners obviously want him to use his new found industry celebrity as advertising for the agency itself. Roger has the relationship with Lucky Strike...correct?

I was under the impression they were using their contacts to get him in the newspaper, not that reporters were all that interested.

I think cooper also made a comment about how they were wasting a good chunk of money by having such a prestigious office location. I was under the impressino that they are NOT in a good financial position. In fact I kinda thought they did a lot to stress that they aren't in a good position financially.
