Lots of goodies in store for the Mad Men season finale

I'm so happy to see Mad Men getting the recognition it deserves. It doesn't get Grey's Anatomy numbers (it's on cable) and it hasn't spawned devoted web sites like Lost, but it's critically-acclaimed, loved by those in the know, and has been given a second season by American Movie Classics. And AMC has some treats in store for fans when the season finale airs on October 18.

First off, the entire episode will be brought to you without commercial interruption by DirecTV (a TV show about advertising - without commercials!). They'll have a short spot at the start of the episode announcing that they're the sole sponsor for the night. Then, after the episode (where I'm sure we'll see Pete using the contents of the box against Don), we'll see footage of the wrap party, which will also be sponsored by DirecTV!

There's more to that Ad Age story linked above, by the way, including how they're careful with product placement on the show, the restrictions on how Jack Daniels can be advertised, and how much each episode costs.
