Chauncey is prancing on the Rainbow Bridge as we type (after being immediately flattened by a Port Authority bus). At first I thought we were going to hear the sound of a horn honking, a screech of brakes and the sound of purebred Irish setter impact. Now I've decided that Chauncey was found by an orphan girl and ends up in a musical.

She'll be naked when I'm hittin' it from the back.

(don's vote "straight ticket" republican.) if you choose the "reality" side dichotomy, then you are one of the hippies reading wedding announcements at the beat club down in soho to a bongo drum and marijuana smoke. that's why midge is miserable. (midge's vote "straight ticket" democrat.) i think most folks choose a mix. few are hippies or fundies. most fall somewhere in between. like i do. a little bit here, a little bit there. that is why i am miserable. (sofa's vote all over the place.) Perception and reality. Sally's perception of her daddy collided with what Don knows to be the reality. Don is so miserable, he can hardly look at himself. I think his breakdown may happen faster than Betty's.

Any ideas why they would use a modern song for such a period accurate show?

Posts: 741 (09/03/08 8:15 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	yeah odd. but it does give ol' weiner a little slack from here on out. i read so many reviews that dissect each ep from start to end for the period thing. folks that must google for hours on end to see if the ibm selectric was a proper placement or an anachronism (and that was like the first ep.) or the pantiehose from this ep... et al. i'm sure he's tired of this shit, so he tosses in a song that completely works but is not "history channel" perfect. i think weiner just gave us all a loving "finger..."

It would be too limiting (and perhaps too expensive) to use only actual songs from the sixties. Better to expand the show's creative horizons. Imagine the Sopranos with only Italian mafia music!

(And I don't want to see Peggy pulling on panty hose that were not readily available in 1962.) That bothered me too. That was a serious anachronism, in an episode where women's intimate apparel was prominent in the storyline, and even in the episode title. Someone apparently didn't care enough to do their research. That's troubling, in an otherwise extremely high quality show.

I thought I was up to date on all of the posts. Anyway, I went to my first Homecoming dance in 1968 and I could not enjoy myself for fear that my (first pair of) stockings would somehow become disconnected from my garter belt and slither down my skinny legs to the floor. I must've visited the restroom every 10 minutes to reassure myself that everything was secure. Oy. What a thrill to have pantyhose not long after that.

Not only were pantyhose not available '62, the pair that Peggy was pulling on looked like a more modern (meaning not a late '60s) style.

(pantyhose was a sad event for old sofa. a true devotee of the garter and hose concept. sigh) pantyhose was invented in 1959. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantyhose so i'm just a guessing that a sophisticated urbanite like peggy, living in "NEW YORK CITY", in 1962 might of gotten her hands on this new invention. omg! impossible! i know! but it is actually possible. why do people who watch such a rich and incredible show about the times and lives and situations of these folks... only to focus on the insignificant minutia of the here and there? is that really what this show is for you?

But Peggy putting on pantyhose just jumped out at me as something that didn't seem right.

That's a huge part of the appeal, so yes. After seeing Peggy pulling on those pantyhose, I spent the next few minutes trying to remember when they were actually available, which was the mid '60s. Around the time of the mini skirt. I wasn't focusing on the scene. So, yeah, I'm putting this in the 'error' file.
