Long Weekend (Mad Men)

"Long Weekend" is the tenth episode of the first season of the American television drama series Mad Men.

The episode was directed by Tim Hunter and is set within the increasingly close 1960 United States presidential election, with TV commercials emphasising Kennedy's energy and Nixon's lack of leadership.

Pete informs Don that one of his accounts, Dr. Scholl's, is leaving for another agency because of their dissatisfaction with the firm's creative talent.

They meet a pair of young twins at an ad audition for aluminum cladding, and Roger invites them upstairs for drinks.

Alan Sepinwall, writing for New Jersey's The Star-Ledger, praised the episode, saying that it and the show itself were "dense and layered" and "deserving of deeper analysis".
