I would LOVE to see a Mad Men movie, and was thinking a Mad Men Christmas movie would be pretty spectacular. The only thing I'm undecided on, is whether I would prefer for it to have a darker tone to it - kinda like Don - or whether it should be more uplifting (without being lethally sweet).
What do you guys think? :)
Get off the couch and give me a scale!
The idea of a "Christmas special" for every show (no matter how incongruous its subject matter is with the sentiment and uplift of Christmas) strikes me as a distinctly English notion. The "Christmas special" seems to be an ingrained feature of the culture of television in the UK that we in the US have mostly not experienced.
shareAFAIK, it's an American tradition as well. Lots of American shows also have a Christmas (and Thanksgiving) show. Personally, I'm not all that fond of them, and Mad Men didn't overdo it, as some shows, that shoehorn it in.
Thomasina, I hope to see you, as well as many other thoughtful and intelligent MM board posters, here.
