Matthew Weiner and the cast of "Mad Men'"are less than a week away from learning if they will make Emmy Award history. If the AMC serial set in the golden age of advertising wins the Outstanding Drama Series Emmy on Sunday, it will break the record for the most consecutive Emmys ever awarded a show in that category.
While the indecent proposal in The Other Woman brought jaws to the floor, Weiner tempered the shock value by mining the precarious gender politics of the Mad Men era with deep insight and sensitivity. While a certain plot point involves a forbidden mix of business and pleasure, the episode's overall pacing and art direction perfectly blend the professional with the personal, climaxing in a harsh but inalienable truth: Like it or not, sex sells
