![]() She was a little more insecure than we first thought. Then, the longer she stuck around, the more we saw her flaws. She made Don better, and everyone she worked with better. Hunter Pence as Megan Draper - The minute we first saw Megan, and she became part of the family, we were infatuated. You're always kind of just waiting for the negatives to outweigh the positives, but it never seems to quite get there. Shane Victorino as Pete Campbell - That guy who always seems to be doing something annoying, but is too good at his job otherwise to get rid of. ![]() Then she swings at the first pitch and pops it up and we get upset all over again. But sometimes when we look at her, and remember the good old days, it brings a smile to our faces. Jimmy Rollins as Betty Draper (Francis) - We've all watched in horror as Betty Draper (she will always be Draper to me), has become a shell of her former self. Should your opinion change? Can you trust him? Did you under/over estimate him? Also, both red heads and have last names that start with "H" and end in "Y." You have a really distinct impression of who he is and you're very happy with your assessment of him, he's comfortable to us because everyday he's just there looking great. Now he's hurt and you don't know what to think about him or your feelings for him. Roy Halladay as Joan Holloway (Harris) - Roy Halladay is the "bombshell" every one is infatuated with, mysterious and always delivers. The thing is, he doesn't seem to know that everyone knows it. We still like him, and he still runs the show, but he's not flawless, and everyone knows it. The longer we know Don though, the more flaws he seems to have. Nothing bothered him, and he seemed to make every right move, even if it didn't seem right at the time. as Don Draper - Man, when we first met Don, he was so cool. Well that's not Chase I guess, but Pat Burrell is gone. The minute you count him out, is the minute he's out to dinner with your client. Walks around at work with no shoes on? Well I don't know if Charlie does that, but it's fun to imagine he does.Ĭhase Utley as Roger Sterling - Roger Sterling isn't what he used to be, but somehow we know he's got just enough left to cause some trouble. ![]() Everyone thinks he doesn't know what he's talking about, but he really does? Check. How does $185 million and #1 starter sound?Ĭharlie Manuel as Bert Cooper - Come on, this is too easy. In a move that allowed her to finally be paid what she deserved, and get the credit and respect she thought necessary, Peggy Olson left Sterling, Cooper, Draper, Price, for a handsome salary and new title. Here's the part that's going to hurt, look away if you need to. He's grown and excelled, even when he wasn't given the credit he deserved. Cole, like Peggy, was a young, shining star for the team that gave him his first chance. With that, I present to you, the Phillies as characters in Mad Men:Ĭole Hamels as Peggy Olson - This one hurts, so I figured I'd get it out of the way first. So instead of taking up this space with an article about Chase Utley's health, or why Charlie Manuel has insisted for three years to leave Joe Blanton in one inning longer than we all know he should, I decided to have a little fun. At the end of the day I'll either be thrilled or disappointed, but it won't stop me from watching (even though this is by far, the best season to date. I think I enjoy it, but mostly I just do it. They're strikingly similar in that I'm not totally sure if either is objectively any good, I just watch them because that's what I do. Now that the Sixers season has ended, I've only got two things to carry me through the summer the Phillies and Mad Men.
