We watch a lot of TV. Good TV. Bad TV. TV we feel guilty for watching. TV we feel smart for watching. And all TV in between.

mad men trivia time

As we all know, Mad Men is sadly over for the year. BUT that doesn't mean we're not still learning new Mad Men-related tidbits every day. Today, for example, I randomly learned that Freddy-Peed-His-Pants-Rumsen is played by none other than Joel Murray, brother of Bill Murray! I know! Mind. BLOWN.

Do you see the resemblance?

And I'm sure most Mad Men watchers are aware that the former Mrs. Roger Sterling (Talia Balsam) is the current real-life wife Mrs. John Slattery, but did you know she was once also the one (and only!) Mrs. George Clooney?

The 90s were a blur for many.

And 60s sex symbol The Man from U.N.C.L.E's Illya Kuryakin (aka the object of Sally Draper's, er...affection) and eccentric Dr. "Ducky" Mallard from NCIS are one and the same!
