Awesome! We finally got a Roku last month and I did something that I didn't think I'd ever do...AMC+ streamed "Mad Men" the entire month of July (except for Season 6, for some reason...they just showed 6:1 over & over again for Season 6), so I got to re-watch "Mad Men" episodes.
I didn't start watching "Mad Men" until Season 5 (when AMC had the long delay between Seasons 4 & 5), but I watched it all the way to the end. I didn't really like the way that "Mad Men" ended, but watching those Seasons 1-4 episodes again...I had forgotten how great so many of those episodes were. They were just so well done... well-written, well-acted, just so entertaining to watch. So, that was how I spent my month of July (when I wasn't hauling my boys somewhere, working, or playing golf ⛳)! 😀

I've been in a season of revisiting shows I watched a long time ago. I've finished Moonlighting and am in the middle of Northern Exposure now. I think Mad Men will be the next.
I didn't like the ending either. I also think there were so many story lines that just floated out into the ether never to be made much of or resolved. The clip you posted is one in my opinion. Don's secret is of a magnitude you expect it to blow wide open eventually, but instead everybody who has an inkling keeps it close to their vests. I also have always wondered what happened to Pete and Peggy's baby.

I'd love to read your thoughts on "Mad Men." I remember on the old IMDb board for "Mad Men" (I never had an IMDb account, so I never posted but read the posts), there were quite a few posters who knew that era really well and it was interesting to read their observations and memories.
And talking about shows really going downhill fast...I was a high-school Senior and one of my classmates kept raving about "Moonlighting" in class, so I started watching It. There was nothing on TV like it at the time...I was a big fan of the TV show "Cheers" (That was Shelley Long's final season and the "Sam & Diane" storyline was really great...I really wanted them to be together in the end), but I loved "Moonlighting" also. My parents subscribed to "Newsweek" and they had a huge article on the show (I think it was the cover story...back in the day when entertainment stories rarely made the front page). It was really a "hot show."
And then, just like that, it was over. I went off to college and I eventually stopped watching it after awhile. I never have seen a lot of the episodes from the final season. That was all too common back in the 80s, unfortunately....I was also a big fan of "Miami Vice" and it went downhill really quickly as well.

I'll PM you my thoughts about both shows. I would hate to keep raising a dead BD game to the top of page 1 in General Discussion!
