With the seventh and final season of Mad Men premiering this Sunday, we thought it would be a good time to relive some of the most jaw-dropping moments from the acclaimed series’ first six seasons. 9 Memorable Mad Men Moments Open Slideshow 1. Lane Price and Pete Campbell Fight Lane and Pete go at it. Lane won the fight but this season, um…didn’t end well for him. View As List 1. Lane Price and Pete Campbell Fight Lane and Pete go at it. Lane won the fight but this season, um…didn’t end well for him. 2. The Sterling-Cooper Lawnmower Incident A tragic mishap in the Sterling-Cooper offices. Well, tragically hilarious, anyway. 3. Betty Draper Shooting Pigeons Betty took her frustrations out on some neighborhood birds. She became a somewhat character in seasons since. 4. Kiernan Shipka as Sally Draper Don’s daughter has had too many memorable moments to choose just one. It’s been a pleasure watching her grow into a sassy teenager. 5. Mad Men: JFK Assassination Scene Mad Men memorably tackled a day that brought the nation to its knees. Just one of many historical events the series has vividly brought to life. 6. Don Draper Hits Rock Bottom Don was a drunken mess for most of season four. He drinks a lot, but now he manages to do his job…for the most part. 7. Peggy Olson Smokes Weed Elisabeth Moss puts her foot down as Peggy Olson. That girl really wanted to get high. 8. Roger Sterling: Drunk For Pearl Harbor Day Every day is an occasion to drink for Roger Sterling. Though he got especially plastered (and bigoted) on Pearl Harbor Day. 9. Don Draper Crying Don broke down and showed his human side after learning about the death of a friend. We’re sure the final season will hold many more emotional moments for Don. Some scenes will never leave out mind (You don’t see lawnmowers in office buildings for a reason, people!), while others we had all but forgotten about (Remember when Betty was a gun-toting badass! Neither did we!) and w ith 78 episodes already in the books, it was no easy task choose just a few favorite clips. Some fans might consider the show’s finest moment to be the unforgettable declaration, “My name is Peggy Olson, and I want to smoke some marijuana,” while we’re certain at least a few others would cast their vote for the time meek Lane Price “kicked the crap” out weaselly Pete Campbell. Part of what’s made Mad Men such an enduring hit among critics and audiences alike is the way the show manages to blend gut-wrenching human drama with jet black humor – sometimes within the same scene. But whether it’s the humor or the heartache that keeps bringing you back to the offices of SCDP, we hope you’ll agree that the scenes in the gallery above reflect some truly stand-out moments from our favorite ad men. And don’t forget: if you need to catch up before the final season you can watch Mad Men online at TV Fanatic!
