"You've had a hard day." That was the best delivery of a single line on TV last year. Christina Hendricks is amazing.

[msmadgirl]

Agreed - S1 was full of so many deliveries like this made me catch my breath and think, "This show is amazing!"

[goldbergje]

Yes, "1960, I'm *so* over you!" would NOT have been in the vernacular of the time.

[EmmyLuxeMakeUpInc]

this is an amazing scene.

[deegonz06]

everything used in the show including language and expressions is authentic. Mathew Weiner spent years amassing research about clothes, customs, culture, etc. to make it completely accurate.

I love Betty and Joan!!! LOVE EM!

[ChopstickBrando]

I thought so, too.

Scriptwriters have to be careful to keep anachronisms like this out of dialogue.

[mangarda]

Agreed - but that's not really what 'conservative' means. It doesn't necessarily mean wholesome, or politically correct...in its purest definition, 'conservative' simply means 'averse to change.' Traditional, unadventurous, etc. And I think that can describe the modern Ad industry in some senses (particularly in fashion magazines, which is where you draw your references).

How truly heartbreaking

[halcyon5zippo]

Perhaps Joan will pick up some "tendencies" in this third season.

[waywardghost]

Gay culture was a live and well in the 1960s (as in any other era). Check out the pulps of the time for sensationalistic evidence. It would've been rare, but it's not out of the question.

[chantoke]

because it was 1960.
