A Quiet Dinner With the Drapers

[cche16]

lmao this man pushed her back!! they're both childish.

[robsessed23]

Poor Bobbie. "It was an accident" with his tiny voice looking at his dad. So cute.

[robsessed23]

I really couldn't believe this when I saw it. But I wasn't as suprised when he yanked her out of bed, groped her and called her a whore. He has some nerve lol

[kaczurda]

This scene was pretty shocking, but I think the scene in the season 3 finale is even worse, when Don calls Betty a whore. He was way out of line. Double standard, much?

[humby123]

I always wonder how actors cool off after a scene like this. I don't know anything about acting but I imagine you have to immerse yourself and maybe even affect the emotions the characters are undergoing. It's hard to picture that when that scene ends they can just laugh and switch right back to their real selves.

[haylin13]

I dont know why but every time I see Don´s children I imagine them in Woodstock.

[supergnc]

@skygrottian I think there was a contrast because Megan is not a parent. It's always easy for people who aren't parenting children to be so sweet to them when they screw up, because to them, it's not the 1,982nd time the kids have spilled stuff all over the table by being careless. My wife is a stay at home mom, and I think it's amazing what she does everyday. Few can relate these days because most children after they turn three are dumped off someplace all day to be someone else's problem.

[djfinger4]

i'm all for don (the character) cheating, and drinking and shit, but i didn't like it when he pushed betty even if she (the character is a bitch) but hey that's just me

[puffdebi]

I think the reason why people are twisted enough to sympathize more with Don then Betty, is because it easier to blame the victim of abuse than the abuser. Betty is definitely at the short end of the stick. People like to hate Betty because it's easier -- than seeing the truth of the problem: DON. And Don's the star of the show, so its written for us to like him.

[losertini]

Oh god it could be my grandparents

[supergnc]

I think what is so amazing about this show is that they managed to take Don, and make us all feel for him. Even the actors are amazed at how much everyone hates Betty, even though Don was a horrible husband. When Betty confronts him about him not really being Don Draper (Wouldn't you be pissed?), he was coming home to get stuff to run off with his newest mistress. Watch the first three seasons again and tell me where Betty went wrong. How twisted are we (me included) to sympathize with Don?

[TheCrazedy]

@supergnc i was really surprised to hear that people hate betty. yea, she's not the easiest person to get along with and she's not the best mother, but when you compare her with don, i can't help but like betty. even though she can be mean for no reason, she is always around when they need her or when don needs her. the same can't be said of don.

[KraftwithaK]

I think Mad Men missed a wonderful opportunity to work an martial arts scene into the show.

[SagaciousSilence]

Seeing Don push Betty was amazing. She's such a detestable character! ... for men.

[somethingswicked]

It caught me off guard to see Don Draper show that much emotion. Evil emotion, nonetheless.

[skygrottian]

I like the contrast between how Betty deals with the spilled drink and how Megan handles it in Tomorrowland.

[kiwiifalling]

@skygrottian yeah, but she's hired help. she can't exactly yell at her boss's children, or berate them in any way.

[edyoung44]

that wasnt very nice at 1:03-1:05 but its 60's culture what you gonna do

[akisevere]

@edyoung44 you're right but thing like this is happeningin ourdays.

[edyoung44]

@akisevere yeah what the hell happened to these modern times in the US

[akisevere]

@edyoung44 not just in the US, but in Europe too, let's not mention middle asia and africa. family violence still exists. unfortunately

[edyoung44]

@akisevere ah yes your right its worldwide hatred within families but im sure sometime within the millenium things will turn tide

[serenehelene21]

No one thought it was odd that Betty said that she was "outnumbered" by the kids? How immature.

[kalitexnis10]

That was a pretty hard push on Dons part. Caught me off guard....

[267552]

can i know what season and episode this was?

[PJS192]

I love the original Bobby, he's so cute!

[holbrooke7]

Yeah, Don pushing Betty was uncalled for, but Betty's such an ungrateful wench. She's lucky she even HAS a maid.

[Franjew]

Pulling an Ike Turner....swak!

[MerleOberon]

The Drapers need Miltown

[beautifuleliane1]

which episode is that??

[uofc57]

Those kids are doomed - perfect candidates for the 70s

[LoVeStoned2424]

I have to say this is one of my favorite scenes with Don and Betty. Don is such as asshole to his wife!

[perpetual61]

Want me to bring home what I got at the office today i'll put you through that window.

[ExquisiteExtreme]

what did he say to her in the bedroom about the window right before she pushed him?

[Zigzag4me]

Oh wow. I can't believe he pushed her. What would hw have done if she had slapped him? Punch her? That's so sick, man.

[vangoghlicious]

@Zigzag4me she pushed him first, it was just a chain reaction thing. not saying it's right, but it's not like she didn't get physical with him.

[Kendramyrck]

Yeah it about time they let her vist the Oz to get a brain.

[tacluvstoons]

Is that what you wanted? lol

[cga1978]

:O Wow wtf! He really pushed her hard! lol!

[rainbowsprod]

Damn. He really pushed her. January almost fell over, LOL.

[Weebitfun]

Seriously. When I first saw that my jaw dropped and I was like OMG!" O.O

[rainbowsprod]

It's good that Jon/January are comfortable enough with each other that they can do a scene like this and make it seem so authentic. They play well off of each other.
