The complete seriesâ‚¬"all seven seasons and ninety-two episodesâ‚¬"is covered.

Each episode review also includes brief explanations of locations, events, consumer products, and scientific advancements that are important to the characters, such as P.J. Clarkeâ‚¬s restaurant and the old Penn Station; the inventions of the birth control pill, the Xerox machine, and the Apollo Lunar Module; the release of the Beatlesâ‚¬ Revolver and the Beach Boysâ‚¬ Pet Sounds; and all the wars, protests, assassinations, and murders that cast a bloody pall over a chaotic decade.Â
Â
Mad Men Carousel is named after an iconic moment from the showâ‚¬s first-season finale, â‚¬Å“The Wheel,â‚¬Â wherein Don delivers an unforgettable pitch for a new slide projector thatâ‚¬s centered on the idea of nostalgia: â‚¬Å“the pain from an old wound.â‚¬Â This book will soothe the most ardent Mad Men fanâ‚¬s nostalgia for the show. New viewers, who will want to binge-watch their way through one of the most popular TV shows in recent memory, will discover a spoiler-friendly companion to one of the most multilayered and mercurial TV shows of all time.Â
