Don Draper Reacts To Spike In Mad Men’s Viewership!

Jon said, “I found over the course of lockdown that a lot of people started watching it, that I actually thought had watched it.” When one of Jon’s friends finally saw the series several years after its release, Jon’s reaction was, Really? It’s been ten years since it’s been off the air. “But yeah. I’m very happy when people actually see it because it’s a good show. I’m proud of it,” he added.

Never Count Don Draper Out!

Nobody knows what happened to Don Draper after Mad Men ended. But it could have been a redemption narrative given the series finale’s implication. Long-time fans were enthralled by the series’ anti-decade-long hero’s unraveling, which gradually showed that his life was as fake as the advertisements he created.

It’s been said that Don’s hilltop meditation was the inspiration for one of the most famous ads of all time: the iconic “I’d want to buy the world a Coke” jingle, which lives on almost 50 years later. It was mysterious enough to evoke a slew of what-if scenarios but not as obscure as a Sopranos-style fade-to-black ending, giving devoted fans the satisfying conclusion they deserved.

The Title Mad Men Has Never Been Used In The Series!

Although this may come as a surprise to many, but this is one hundred percent true. The title Mad Men has never been used or spoken throughout its seven seasons long run. Except for a brief mention in the pilot that the phrase was originated in the 1950s by advertising firm employees ad men on Madison Avenue in New York City. “Mad” was a combination of “Madison” and “ad,” and while Don Draper and his fellow advertising professionals may not have called themselves that, it was an appropriate title.

After all, Don’s mental health is called into doubt several times during the novel. He’s a fundamentally flawed man whose professional success is based on helping others through his clients. And its customers, who believe that the items they purchase will improve their lives. Like so many other aspects of the series, the title works on multiple levels.
