Betty Appears in a Big Way

Finally Betty Draper made an appearance, a rather large one, on last night's Mad Men.  Her first scene was when she couldn't get the zipper up on her dress; I assumed she was pregnant.  Nope - she had simply gained weight, perhaps in a way to hide her real-life pregnancy.  Poor Betty.  Her mother-in-law sent her to the doctor for some diet pills, i.e., amphetamines - just a fast little trick they used in the sixties.  It will be interesting to see how long it will take Betty to get rid of her extra weight; the way TV moves, she could be back in to her size 6 by the next episode!
