WHAT IS “MAD MEN”?

In “Public Relations,” the Season 4 premiere of “Mad Men,” the fictional headquarters of the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce agency moved to the Time & Life Building on 6th Avenue (The Avenue of the Americas). The year was 1964 and the building was only 5 years old. Gothamist has an article with some “Mad Men” tidbits and other things you may not know about the Time & Life Building, with video footage of Marilyn Monroe attending the building’s opening.

Cindy got it right. She bet $3,300 and that brought her up to $8,600.

Chelsea wrote down “How I Met Your Mother.” That cost her $2,500. She finished with $7,100.

Sara thought it was “30 Rock.” She lost $7,601, landing her in third place with $3,999. So Cindy won her third match and now has a 3-day total of $39,600.
