The New York Times City Room blog has been running pieces all week under the heading "Mad Men City," placing the show in the context of Manhattan during the period when it takes place. (There are a couple of very minor spoilers, such as where the new agency's office is, and how much time will have passed since the events at the end of season 3, so if you would prefer not to know these things ahead of time, skip this one.)
New York magazine's Vulture blog talks to show creator Matthew Weiner.
(By the way, if you happen to be in New York, you can go to Times Square tonight and watch the premiere outdoors on a big screen. In the Boston area, the place to be is the Noir bar in the Charles Hotel in Harvard Square.)
You may remember last year's "MA Men" spoof. They surprised us with a sequel, just as vulgar and potentially offensive to some. (Funny or Die)
Addendum: I forgot this amusing little video compilation of some of Betty Draper's more memorable parenting moments. (Vulture)
