Mad Women

I am still enjoying nearly all of Mad Men (although my heart is breaking for Joan) but I just can't abide by January Jones' distraught Betsy. I know that her character is supposed to be naive but her pouty, petulant child act just made me want to reach through the TV and slap her. That is, slap January Jones' performance, not the behavior of the character. There are many rich ways in which to play the wronged spouse but I think January Jones just spent time working on her pouty face and left it at that ("you embarrassed me!" , "you embarrassed me!" , "you embarrassed me!" ) . Let's hope she keeps Don out of the house so we don't have to spend so much time with her. In my opinion, the show would be better for it.
