To me it seemed pretty clearly a New Age group therapy of sorts.
Yeah, like I said I think I was so focused on "but what about everyone else?" I may actually go back and rewatch, because spiritual healing type of things are normally right up my alley.
Quite a few of the products were real products. Conrad Hilton was a real, historic person, for instance. The real McCann twitter feed actually reposted the commercial last night congratulating Don for finally coming up with a good idea for McCann (that coke commercial).
Yeah, that was what I was trying to say. Maybe I need to back up - I was reading posts worrying that the show "stole" the coke ad, since it was real. My point was that most of the figures and companies we've seen on the show have been based on real people and agencies, probably intended more as stand-ins. Or the show is supposed to be an alternate history of sorts. Either or.
Betty's brother wasn't loaded and wanted to live in the house. People get crazy when family members die/are dying. I've witnessed similar fights over who-gets-what once the parents are dead before.
I may be remembering wrong anyway. I hope you're right. (But I also know families can get pretty intense in bad times. I've witnessed it in my own, unfortunately.)
