Is McCann Mad at 'Mad Men'?
Posted in: Uncategorized
If McCann hoped its star turn on the final season of “Mad Men” as Sterling Cooper & Partners’ majority owner would offer some fun moments of nostalgia and publicity, the show’s writers haven’t made it easy.
Portrayed during the midseason return as a bureaucracy staffed by dumb sexists, the kind of place where Joan leaves a meeting wanting to “burn this place down,” the McCann of “Mad Men” has now hardened into an assertive villain. When a junior McCann exec insults Joan’s client in the May 3 episode “Lost Horizon,” a senior executive offers to help — via a road trip for two that Joan doesn’t want. “Hey, I’m easy,” he says. “I’m not expecting anything more than a good time.”
She’s eventually bought out for far less than her stake is worth.
