Hang up your hat, pour yourself a scotch and light up a Lucky Strike, because Mad Men is back tonight after a nine-month hiatus.
Is Don Draper finally ready to embrace family life? Will Betty grow a spine now that her eyes are open? What about Peggy and that baby? And what’s the deal with that Duck guy? All these questions and more will be answered when Mad Men returns tonight for its second season on AMC. The premiere picks up 14 months after the finale and finds the folks at Sterling Cooper discombobulated by the potential of a big airline account and the arrival of a brand new Xerox machine.
Those who missed the first season but want to see what all the hubbub is about (like those 16 Emmy nominations) can catch up with a 12-minute recap of the first season over at AMC’s web site.

I love this show. I don’t think I would recommend watching the recap and diving right into the new season in lieu of watching Season 1. This show is so good because of the character development; I couldn’t imagine skipping the first season. I can’t wait for tonight’s season premier though.
Yay for Our Mrs. Reynolds! Good to see her working.
