Subverting the viewer's expectations is a way to write a good script.

DUDE I CUT MY NIPPLE OFF

yeah. Mad Men pretty much fell apart at the end, didn't it.
As the primary theme of the show was the Jewish cultural coup of the 60s, it was necessary for Weiner to obscure this by removing the most Jewish character.

I much preferred the episode where he claims the computer made him a queer.

>Jewish cultural coup of the 60s

Any literature to learn more about this?

pic related. there's a pdf floating around
this vid is more about the 50s, but that's when the foundations were laid

>that episode where he goes on a date with dat qt

utter filler.

funny, attractive, good job, and he still couldn't get laid

what went wrong other than him mentioning that he was a virgin?

it's the same episode

I'd believe that

>constantly drop hints that the guy is fucking insane
>do it in the first scene he is introduced
>have him talk about how he is an alien that was born in a concentration camp
>show his household and his parent aren't too normal
>show him that he spergs out on dates that could be a slamdunk
>show him he has weird conspiracies
>surprised he cuts his nipple off in a very tumultuous time in his life

He had to be written out because Ben Feldman wanted to star in an NBC show that got cancelled in less than a month.

And people complain about the show being boring.

Mad Men is a great show but very anticlimactic

That was a little disappointing as i was kind of fond of him but not at all surprising considering

he was always displaying signs of mental illness

this is probably better book on that topic

More or less, but you need to expand on the guy outside of work to some extent. Everyone was at Roger's daughter's wedding except for him, so it was a good time to show what the little fag was all about.

>what went wrong other than him mentioning that he was a virgin?
He was schizophrenic and also had no interest in dating her to begin with because he doesn't like his father interfering with his life. Also he might be homosecks.
>that scene in the office where that one friend of some chick Don was banging is fooling around on the conference table while the other chick is talking with Don
>all the other dudes in the office are cheering the chick on the conference table on
>Ginsburg anxiously stares out the windows of the conference room, clearly uncomfortable with what's going on behind him
my sides

this

I concur

>Ben Feldman wanted to star in an NBC show that got cancelled in less than a month.
You're wrong though. Superstore got renewed for a third season.

That show is so fucking bland though. Jimmy Fallon-comedy.

And what's your point? You were still wrong about it being cancelled.

Wrong show

>A to Z is an American romantic comedy television series created by Ben Queen. He served as an executive producer with Rashida Jones and Will McCormack for Warner Bros. Television.[1] The series debuted on October 2, 2014, on NBC.[2][3] On October 31, 2014, NBC canceled the series but aired the complete 13-episode run.

This, ginsberg was always a fucking Sup Forums loon. Don obsessed over booze and women, ginsberg felt he was from mars.

That was a movie.

It's shocking how bro he is in Silicon Valley, also.

Everyone else on the show is so crazy that it was a surprise for someone to actually turn out schizophrenic. Don himself hallucinated the ghost of Bert Cooper singing a musical number.

>it's a "Don is seeing dead people again" episode
max comfy

Peggy tried to befriend a negress!

Uh, no it was a show. Reading comprehension not your strong suit?

A to Z was a movie by Rashida Jones.

Watch the series again, they constantly drop little hints of Ginsberg's weirdness/potential mental illness. I thought he was a good symbol of these disaffected counter culture guys that just didn't make it in the changing times, kinda like Paul

>Also he might be homosecks.

didn't think about that but it makes sense
