Summary
A Christmas Miracle for the Guys who Invented the Concept of Christmas Miracles
Shut the door. Have a seat. We have some bad news. This is the last episode of this season of the pod. We also have some good news. Comedian Katrina Davis returns to talk to Matt & Vince about Mad Men season three episode thirteen, “Shut the Door. Have a Seat.”
It’s nearly Christmas ‘63 and those bastards at McCann Erickson are buying Putnam, Powell, Lowe, Sterling & Cooper. Why? So they can be McCann, Erickson, Putnam, Powell, Lowe, Sterling, & Cooper? Sounds more like a lacrosse roster than an advertising agency. Don has no choice but to make Lane fire him so he can round up an alcoholic ad man superteam and poach as many clients as possible on the way out. It’s like Ocean’s Eleven, but with more paperwork.
What can’t the guy do? Maintain a marriage. While all that’s going on, Betty prepares to fly Reno with Henry because the only grounds for divorce in New York at the time were absence of a spouse, incurable insanity, life imprisonment, or adultery. She could have caught him on that last one but whoopsy, she’s an adulterer too.
