But that's been one of the themes of the series: how we watch cats like Don and his ilk get passed by the times.

Don's been wrong about Kennedy vs. Nixon, that classic Volkswagen ad, Muhammed Ali, civil rights, Joe Namath... other stuff too, if I think about it.

Pete and Peggy represented the young generation that's breaking from the ideas of Don's generation, but the new guys like Joey outright feel that Don is a pathetic dinosaur.
