Been watching a bit of Mad Men in my illness. Have to say how much I enjoy Vincent Kartheiser as Pete Campbell (and the writing of the Campbell character). Such a perfect combination of arrogance and smarminess, a kind of Eddie Haskell I suppose but not a type of character you see a lot of on television. Kartheiser is brilliant because he always looks like he has six different thoughts running through his mind as well as what he's going to say next - and none of them are at all pleasant.
I was surprised when looking through YouTube for any classic Pete Campbell moments that there was a lot of Pete-Peggy fantasy stuff. Why anyone would be interested in the union of these two is beyond me. He is so delightfully vile. I suppose she is, too, in a way but less so.
