大致內容:

''It's AMC's job to find those people. And they're finding them.'' Indeed,
for season 2 the cable network is preparing its biggest marketing campaign
ever, budgeted at $25 million.
鑑於第一季叫好,獲獎無數,故AMC決定也要砸重金打宣傳戰。


Despite the accolades, ratings hovered only around a modest 900,000 viewers.
第一季大概是宣傳不夠，收視率不太好。


Inquiring fans still want to know: How could Peggy have been unaware she was
with child until delivery? Answers Weiner, ''People say, 'Peggy's so smart!'
But the truth is she's 20 years old. She knew and denied it. She put it out
of her mind.''
關於Peggy的懷孕疑雲，觀眾充滿問號；；Peggy小女子雖聰明，但至始至終不認為
才20歲的她會這麼早進入懷孕生子的人生階段。


Weiner started working on the pilot in 1999, Weiner started working on the
pilot in 1999, The pilot script caught the eye of Chase, who was so impressed
he hired Weiner to join the Sopranos writing staff. In 2002, Chase himself
submitted the pilot script to the network on Weiner's behalf. Yet HBO passed.
As did Showtime. AMC, however, snatched up the project, putting up a $3
million-plus budget for the pilot (subsequent episodes cost $2 to 2.5 million).
Weiner在1999就動手寫劇本，2002年，劇本最初送HBO和Showtiem且都通過，但最後由AMC
出資拍攝。第一集拍攝預算有$3 million。


none of the main players had ever experienced breakout success before Mad Men.
''This is my fourth series and I've never had a second season,'' says
Hendricks (Kevin Hill, The Court).'' No one, of course, has benefited more
than Hamm.
劇中所有演員在演出"Mad Men"之前，演藝生涯都不曾大鳴大放。飾演秘書大姐頭的
Hendricks表示這僅僅是她的第四部影集，之前從未有影集可以撐到第二季。受惠最多
莫屬飾演男主角的Jon Hamm名利雙收。。
