If you're a fan of Madmen like I am (and I'm a fairly recent fan), then this was a great weekend for you. Unfortunately my tiny vocabulary and limited understanding of the English language will prevent me from truly praising this show in the manner that it deserves.First you have Emmy Award winning and all around terrific actor Jon Hamm hosting SNL. Plenty of Madmen love, which was nice to see, and a little surprising due to the fact that this is a show hidden on American Movie Classic. Not sure how the skits would go over to those who don't watch. My two cents says, this was the best Madmen related skit.
Even in the non-MM related skits, he held his own and in my very biased opinion, I feel he has a nose for comedy. (i.e. Jon Hamm's John Ham...literally potty humor)
Then you had the terrific season 2 finale last night. I won't spoil those who plan on joining the party late. (It has Tom Hanks kid in it! Who doesn't love some Hanks family acting?!) Just one of those great shows with some meat and substance that you can't wait to dissect and theorize. I can't recommend immediately renting season 1 fast enough. You will breeze through the 13 episodes, and finally understand why Bill Simmons has it hot for the red-headed secretary.
Finally some fun news that the AP revealed today. This Sunday's Simpson's Tree House of Horror opening will be a spoof of the Madmen opening credits. (One of the best openings sequences in recent memory.)
Right now I'm humming the theme in my head...ok, maybe outloud in my office. No one seems to mind. No one pays much attention to me anyhow. I wonder if anyone would notice if I'm wearing pants or not?
The point being, I'd like that theme song as a ring tone. Is that too much to ask?

I blame you for not getting me into this show sooner.
The theme song is called A Beautiful Mine by RJD2 on the album Magnificent City Instrumentals. And, yes, its on my phone. My iPhone.
