Tonight’s the night! Season 5 of Mad Men premieres on AMC at 9:00! Two hours!
While I haven’t had to wait as long as other fans (I only just started watching seasons 1-4 in November), I am still very excited to see what’s happening to my favorite characters!
So, today I will be gearing up for the premiere by watching some of my favorite episodes from the past seasons (all previous seasons are streaming on Netflix). These favorite episodes include:
-Warning: Don’t Click on These if You Haven’t Watched the Show–Synopses Contain Spoilers!-
“A Night to Remember” Season 2: Episode 8
“Six-Month Leave” Season 2: Episode 9
“Meditations in an Emergency” Season 2: Episode 13
“Out of Town”: Season 3: Episode 1
“My Old Kentucky Home”: Season 3: Episode 3
“The Grown-Ups”: Season 3: Episode 12
“Shut the Door. Have a Seat.” Season 3: Episode 13
And most, if not all, of Season 4 (definitely my all-time favorite episode “The Suitcase” and the finale).
Other Mad Men Links That Have Me All Worked Up!
While watching the last two episodes of The Walking Dead (also on AMC), I loved these Mad Men trailers that link up my two favorite shows! Check ‘em out!
and my personal favorite
“and drinks like Hershel used to…” my favorite line!
Book Riot has posted a couple of bookish posts on Mad Men. First, there’s “Recommended Books for the Characters of MAD MEN”. Then, there’s also “Nonfiction for the Life and Times of MAD MEN“.
There’s a lot of reading being done on Mad Men. Flavorwire has compiled “The Definitive ‘Mad Men’ Reading List” for any fans who want to read along. Also, they’ve pulled together a 1966 playlist to act as soundtrack for this season. Check it out!
Then, for those of us planning to really celebrate the return of Mad Men, there’s tips and recipes for throwing a Mad Men premiere party. I think I might try out Joanie’s famous Ginger Snap and Roger Sterling’s Party Nuts!
Can you tell how excited I am? So excited! Just wait until you see how excited I am for the premiere of Game of Thrones–I’m gonna be nuts!

I really think I need to start watching Mad Men on Netflix. It’s not something my boyfriend would ever watch (because he’s picky, or as I call it, “lame”), so it would be a show just for me, which I kind of like. I’ll let you know when I start!

yes! And yes to you signing up for the readathon!

By the way, my husband is lame too–he won’t watch it either! I have no idea why, as he concedes that it’s a very good show. “I just don’t want to watch it.” So frustrating!

I watched all four seasons by myself last summer! My dad would watch bits and pieces if he came home while I was watching, so did my husband, but neither of them were really interested in watching it all with me.
I will probably have to record it to watch once all of the kids are in bed – before the husband gets home. At least that way I can skip through commercials (but I’ll have to stay off of social networks to avoid spoilers).

I won’t spoil it, I promise!
Did you like those trailers during The Walking Dead too? They cracked me up!

Sadly, I have to record it because I am going to church this evening, but I will make myself watch it before I go to bed tonight.

I’ve wanted to start watching Mad Men. I watched the very first episode on Netflix a couple of months ago but then never picked it back up. And I’m SUPER excited for GoT next weekend!!
