It's a fucking great show. When's the new season air?

Canada's CTV network has been showing the first season. Despite our best efforts to convert others, I don't think the wife and I have persuaded people to watch. I'm sure there's a dancing show running opposite. :rolleyes:

I've also had crap luck getting people to watch it. Dunno why.

What's your favorite episode? Mine's "the Hobo Code."

I've had a few people try to get me on board. I think I'll tackle it when I get through this season of Galactica.

When Draper's wife took a BB gun to the neighbor's birds.

I also can't get people into it. My bf says he doesn't understand it. :rolleyes:

I feel terrible that I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. It seems like all my TV time is tied up until like 2010...

That's definitely a favorite moment for me.

I don't know if I could say I have an out-and-out favourite—it's too much like chapters in a book, parts of the whole—but the episode near the end of the first season, set during Election Day, 1960, stands out a bit for letting off some of the tension that had been building, particularly Pete's blackmail efforts.

Me too. I can only remember moments at this point as I haven't seen the show since last year and don't remember whole episodes.

I like when she humps the dryer. The affair she has with the little boy is freaky.

I need a smoke.

Hobo Code sorta taps into my odd fictional fetish--anything set during the Great Depression is interesting to me.

Plus I like hobos.
