Talk:Mad Men

Peter and Scott had the following to say over at Minor TV Mentions, and I thought I'd copy and paste here to see what everyone feels: -- ''Nate (talk ) 00:55, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

"This week's episode of Mad Men ("The Golden Violin") had the agency pitching a new campaign to a coffee client and featured the line "Now, we're aware that unsuccessful attempts have been made -- puppets and so forth -- to capture the attention of youth." Since the series is set in the early 1960s, this is pretty clearly a reference to the Wilkins Coffee commercials, which started in 1957. I think the mention belongs here, especially because the reference is so obscure.  But because there is no explicit mention of the Muppets, I wanted to throw it out to the community to see what everyone else thought. -- Peter  (talk ) 06:16, 9 September 2008 (UTC)  If there were other puppet troupes in the 1960s who were selling coffee, they never became as popular as Jim Henson's. I'd say it's a safe bet they're talking about Wilkins. —Scott ( talk ) 07:52, 25 September 2008 (UTC)"
