A Brief Mad Men Episode Analysis (Season 3: The Arrangements)

Now, I have watched a few drama programs throughout my lifetime. Some of which are: “The Sopranos” (HBO), “Melrose Place” (FOX), & “Dawson’s Creek” (The WB). However, for the longest time, I’ve NEVER watched an episode of Mad Men; AMC’s longest running drama program created by Matthew Weiner. Throughout its run on AMC from 2007-2015, the show cultivated our viewers with its historical visual representation of New York City in the 1960s, with lots of mesmerizing script dialogue, and lovable characters that excessively craved people for more episodes every time it came on the air. With an immense amount of awards credited towards this show, it’s without a doubt that Mad Men is truly one of the greatest television programs of all time!!

Of course I can go on for days talking about the plot and analysis of the characters, but this blog post is strictly based on my first experience of a season three episode, that I found quite intriguing for me to go check out the pilot in the future!! The episode was called, “The Arrangements;” which aired on September 6, 2009. Most of the episode was relatively quiet, and by quiet I mean it was very mellow and slow paced; according to my first interpretations. However, although it had somewhat of a relaxed tone, that doesn’t mean it was beyond boring to watch. Believe it or not, some die hard fans of the series would actually consider first time watchers to immediately start viewing this episode, rather than the pilot; just to get an overall “broad” sense of what the show is about.

From what I got out of it, the characters were centered around certain life changing situations that involved effects of the positive and negative. For a positive aspect, I really enjoyed the daughter/grandfather relationship of Sally Draper and Gene, but a lot of the negative aspects revolved around Gene trying to mend with the relationship between Don & Betty Draper. I’m positive his goal was to become a better person by potentially spending more time with his grandchildren, and repair the mends with Don & Betty. Another example I’ve liked on the positive and negative aspects, in relation to Gene, was when he shows off some Korean War memorabilia with Don’s son, Bobby. Now, Don doesn’t approve Bobby to wear the helmet of a deceased Korean War soldier, but Gene wants to let him have it for old times sake. Sadly, Don eventually takes action for Bobby to take off the helmet because he was, presumably, in the Korean War as well. Anyway, there was also a positive and negative aspect between Peggy Olson and her mother, but I don’t really want to spoil the entire episode if you ask me.

Like I said previously, “The Arrangements” is a mellow Mad Men episode, but its subtle importance towards the characters’ relationships between family members and clients, was part of the resolution. It laid a groundwork for people to reminisce about their pasts, and repair these situational problems for the better; not the worst. There were also some additional scenes involving other characters, but sadly, they didn’t quite stick out with me. However, their lives were structured on historical media events during the 1960s, which is always the overall criteria of a typical Mad Men episode. Now, even though I’ve officially started my Mad Men viewing experiences on an episode from season three, I still would really want to know more knowledge on these characters’ lifestyle choices ‘til the very end. I guess I can now see why AMC promoted the hell out of this show, and they definitely made a good choice to keep it on the air for seven seasons. Give it a watch sometime!! :)

Well it’s not the best thing I’ve ever made. But it’s not terrible. I watched The Romanoff’s on Amazon last night (yes, that’s how they spell it. Don’t judge me). I guess Russian food got into my head. But I don’t eat mushrooms. And I’m poor. So...ground beef stroganoff-ish it is. . . . . . . #upsideofflorida #downtownpensacola #castiron #castironskillet #stroganoff #theromanoffs #amazonprime #matthewweiner #dinnertime (at Pensacola, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo-GY62BY8a/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rw1hsd8qj11d

Happy Birthday Neil Landau​, author, The TV Showrunner's Roadmap! 2014 VIDEO INTERVIEW by Bob Andelman​

NEIL LANDAU podcast excerpt: "Norman Lear​, I think of as the granddaddy of showrunners. He was a pioneer. He was one of the first to take a network to task. 'All in the Family' frightened everybody. If was so cutting edge and so controversial. They shot two pilots and it was a real uphill battle for him. But he fought for what he believed.”
