Jon Hamm’s Giant Penis Has Become A Disruptive Force On The Set Of ‘Mad Men’
 

An AMC insider tells Confidenti@l [ED. NOTE: ugh] that during filming of the sixth season of [Mad Men] — when the ’60s-style clothing was a tight fit — Hamm was politely instructed by a staffer at the network to please wear underwear while shooting his scenes.

“This season takes place in the 1960s, where the pants are very tight and leave little to the imagination,” a source tells us. “Jon’s impressive anatomy is so distracting that they politely insisted on underwear.”

Our insider says that during seasons one and two, AMC’s marketing team even had to do some Photoshop magic on promotional booklets that went out to press in order to make his privates more, well, private

Favorite show so I can't wait. January Jones is looking sexy again. I thought she was skinnier tho. I hope the oldest daughter gets to move with Donald. I really like her. One of my favorite characters in the show.

Christina Hendricks tho.....>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Season 5 was added to Netflix yesterday.

 

[mcraptor]

Not enough to express my excitement

I thought season 5 was the best season so far

 

[big j 33]

Glad season 5 was added, I'll definitely rewatch at least that season before the premiere

 

[bearclawd]

Dead at that video.

I love Megan, I legit find her to be unbelievably sexy. When she sings to Don, that sex appeal is otherwordly.

I'm interested to see how Don and Peggy's relationship plays out this season since the switch. Their relationship is probably my favorite of any two characters on a show ever. "The Suitcase" in season 4 is probably my favorite episode of the whole sereis and one of my favorite tv episodes of all time because it focuses so heavily on there relationship.

I also hope we get more Sally screen time. I love Sally. I love that she fixes Don drinks, that's dope to me, if I have a daughter she will do the same. One of those promo pics has me worried that Sally is going to end up being more like Betty which is tragic.

So with the premiere coming up this Sunday, I'll definitely try to rewatch season 5 beforehand. Last season because of the long wait between 4 and 5, I rewatched the previous four seasons which was awesome... but this year I think just season 5 will do.

 Mad Men returns for a sixth season this weekend on AMC, and even those of us who haven't seen a frame of the two-hour premiere are nonetheless ready to talk our heads off about what for years now has been a top contender for Best Show on Television. Join us as we relive some of our favorite moments from the past five seasons, in all their bourbon-pounding, chain-smoking, lawnmower-crashing, existential-crisis-having glory. (Obviously, a multitude of spoilers after the jump — you've been warned.)

Grantland on the premiere.... don't worry, there's no spoilers 

The End of Men

and an excerpt I liked

But the thing I don't think Weiner realizes is that spoilers, in a larger sense, are also what make his show tick. The reason Mad Men is set in the '60s isn't because the clothes were better (though they were) or the misogyny was worse (though it was). It's because the distance allows us to see the characters the way we're unable to see ourselves: as unwilling actors trapped on the unforgiving treadmill of time. We knew long before they did that JFK would be assassinated, that Dylan would go electric, and that the Beatles would blow their minds. There's an air of inevitability and sadness hanging over these final seasons, whatever years they encompass, because we know that the peace and love of Haight-Ashbury is bound for the drug-filled doom of Altamont, that Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream will be derailed by a bullet on a hotel balcony in Memphis. But most of all we know that, like us, every one of these brilliantly realized characters, so alive and vibrant in the moment, so desperate to stay afloat amid the riptide of history, will eventually grow old and die.

We may not know the specifics, but we know all too well how Mad Men  will end. Still, if Weiner doesn't want me saying anything about the season premiere, then I'll happily obey. I'm just not sure what difference it'll make. Life without spoilers is exciting and unpredictable. It's also called "life." What's scary about the roller coaster isn't the drop. It's the excruciatingly slow climb when you can see the fall coming yet are utterly powerless to stop it.

Hyped for this weekend. Restarted Season 5 this past weekend just cause.

Alexis Bledel could get it 

 

[legendairy stinson]

Had no clue this was starting this Sunday. Thought it was next week. Ahhh well I'll be occupied plenty with this and GoT

 

[hymen man]

Gonna miss the two hour premiere due to Wrestlemania being on... but as soon as it's over,

really interested to see what happens after Lane's passing, and Peggy's new endeavor.

 

[hybridsoldier23]

I don't care what y'all say. I'd still smash multiple times with 0 regrets.

 

[rocman23]

I would peggy too, she is on the bottom of the list of chicks from that show to smash though.

Also, got my whiskey ready for Sunday already

 

[shogun]

Yeah, Elisabeth Moss has been looking pretty good for the past year or two.

I love Mad Men but it's on the same time as Game of Thrones. I'll have to catch the MM reruns after.

The AV Club gave the premiere an A-

Some highlights

There’s perhaps no better show on television than Mad Men  at using the tiny items and objects people accrue in life to signify the places they’ve been, the people they’ve known, and the memories they have. This has always been a strength of the show, even in its earliest going.

Things may be largely “the same,” but that’s only because change on Mad Men, as in life, is incremental. To look back at these people in season one is to see just how much the intervening years have changed them, and the shifts in some cases are genuinely startling.

But no matter. This is still one of TV’s best shows, still moving confidently and at the height of its powers, filled with great characters and terrific storytelling. It’s been on the air long enough now to have a rich, complicated history of its own, and watching it all spool out—both as it happened and in the changed visages of the characters—continues to be one of TV’s chief pleasures. And always there are those objects and items, ghosts and totems of lives that once were. A cigarette lighter. A piece of office decoration that reminds one of sadly departed Lane. A copy of Dante’s Inferno. A set of skis. A seemingly non-descript Mason jar. Mad Men  has always been about the relentless march of history, about the way that time waits for no man. Increasingly, though, it’s taking advantage of its ownhistory, something that gives it a richness and depth most shows on TV barely even aspire to. And at its center are some of the greatest characters in TV history, always plodding through history, eyes averted from a world ripping apart in front of them.

Can't wait.

Glad to hear it. I never found it boring but some do at first. It definitely gets better... Seasons 3-5 are exceptional television.
