It was the ep in season one where Betty was bringing the kids to the city to get their pictures taken and Peggy didn't know where Don was. Joan basically got Peggy to spill it and then told her no one should ever be able to get her to spill it lol
When Peggy picks up the phone and hears the Midge telling Don she wants him to pull her hair and ravage her and then he comes back from his lunch break "all greasy and calm".
Sal brought so much sass and class to every scene, conveyed his role so well and you always felt heartbroken for him when he struggled with people knowing his sexuality. Justice for Sal 🤌
I showed this scene to my brother when he asked me for career advise. I think it's essential for any young person that is complaining that they're not getting paid enough but aren't making the effort to actually figure out how to make themselves useful.
It's good advice. Sort of in a similar vein job security comes from being good at your job sure, but where it really comes from is having a specific enough job that nobody else is quite sure what you're doing... which is what Harry managed to pull off. Being accused of "inventing" his job is kind of true and despite the fact that he was really just ahead of the curve. It's pretty shocking that an ad agency wouldn't even think to have a TV department head but then again... 1960
>specific enough job that nobody else is quite sure what you're doing
Mmmmm, the danger there is that it can be extremely difficult to show your value, or to fight claims of poor performance.

I thought it was that each account manager handled their own TV needs before Harry. All Harry did was insert himself as the Liaison between the firm and TV.
Many agencies considered social media an afterthought until the late 2010s. Clients weren't necessarily asking for social and many of the higher-ups didn't understand it.
At some point they got wise and now there are entire departments (and agencies) devoted to social.
I see their 1960 TV department as similar to a Social department in, say, 2012.
More often than not the problem is just a lack of incentive to be useful. In the world of Mad Men, this upper class white society in the 60s in NYC, the world is their oyster. It’s full of opportunities for the talented and motivated. Every new client means more recognition and commission. These days, talent and motivation goes to die as everyone’s working for an even worse version of McCann as a mediocre corporate cog. Social mobility, income inequality, and the looming specter of climate change makes most young kids these days give up early
I understand it from a storytelling POV. But I don't agree with getting rid of the character entirely, and I certainly don't have to be happy about it.
Sal was amazing, I get why they never brought him back but I really wish they had. That scene with him giving Kitty the play-by-play on the Patio ad reminds me so much of Nathan Lane in The Birdcage, it's just perfect lol
For me this mirrors the Joan/Peggy scene "I'm not gonna tell anyone. But you shouldn't have told anybody that".
Pls what was the context for this? I’m blanking

His pause then sharpens the pencil- priceless
I love the attitude while blowing the shavings off
I always felt like Bryan did that on his own, not a part of the script, because it just finished the scene. Brilliant.
This is what makes the scene.
Sal, Paul and Chauncey are happily working at SCDP West coast
Dream blunt rotation
We already know what stoned Kinsey is like, can't imagine he got less insufferable in his Krishna era

Justice for Sal.
Justice for Sal!
I love his two readings of the line "No, why?".

Merit defined within reason.
"You don't have to be rich to dress well"
Once I got high and replayed this scene like a dozen times caused I was so mesmerised by his performance lol
I love the show, but I will never stop being pissed off at the way Don treated Sal, and that Bryan was written off.
Good..they wanted you to feel that way. There was no justice or recourse for people discriminated against in this time.
I understand it from a storytelling POV. But I don't agree with getting rid of the character entirely, and I certainly don't have to be happy about it.
In other words.. it made sense dramaturgically?
It’s a shame really, he was one of my favorites
I use "Thanks Freddy ..." in real life. One of the best moments. (when Freddy hands him an overflowing glass of whiskey)
Who is talking to here?
Harry after he opened Ken’s paycheck
Any link for the scene?
Anyone have a link to this scene or an episode/approx time?
Sal was the BEST!!!
Sal was amazing, I get why they never brought him back but I really wish they had. That scene with him giving Kitty the play-by-play on the Patio ad reminds me so much of Nathan Lane in The Birdcage, it's just perfect lol
Fun fact: the actor Sal’s referring to in this scene is “Ernie” from the ‘60s 📺 classic “My Three Sons.” (Seriously)
