I hope the show ends with modern times. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I have gotten into Mad Men a few weeks ago and basically binge watched the entire show. I watched the first season a year or so ago, and for some reason, lost interest in it, although I love history. I gave it another chance and it hooked me in.

I hope the last episode touches on what happened to Draper and the other characters.

Donald Draper (Dick Whitman) would be 86 years old in 2014 (the same age as my mother in law). His youngest child Gene would be 51. The older brother (what was his name??) would be about 56 and Sally would be about 60 years old. Sally is going down a bad road and might not have survived the times, I see her as a drug addict, drunk, going a bad way. The two brothers are successful in a general way with maybe Eugene doing the "family business". Have a spinoff of Mad Men with Eugene as a senior partner of the same company dad worked at.

Betty Draper (first wife, well second technically) would be about 77. Meghan Draper would be about 73-74 now (she was 26 when they married around 1967, which means she was born in 1941 or so). Joan is not much younger than Don, so she would be over 80. Be interesting what happened to her son.

Peggy Olsen and Pete Campbell would be in their late 70's, early 80's. Pete is about the same age as my father is now (born about 1932-1935). Peggy was probably born around the late 1930's. Harry Crane is also about the same age. Ginsburg is even younger, he would be his 70's today. In an end episode, I would love to see Ginsburg as the President and billionaire of the company. Stan is probably still with us, who would be about 80 now

Dead now. Roger obviously. Love Roger. The guy was the comedy relief. I like Mad Men, but it needs, needed more comedic elements. Roger was in WWII which means he is pushing 90 now. The guy chain smoked and drank himself to oblivion.

Bertram is obviously dead now, he would be well over 100 today. Duck is also dead now. (Which is a reason why I do not think they will tell what happened to the characters to modern times). The character played by Harry Hamlin probably also passed, he would be in his late 80's now.

I think it would be interesting to what happened to everyone, maybe as a mockumentary with the story being told from one of the younger people's point of view.

I sort of hate that the show has to end. Why not just keep it going to the 1970's, 1980's and beyond? That would be interesting. I hope that the show describes what happens to the characters in the end, told by Eugene Draper, Presidemt of Draper/Ginsburg advertising played by George Clooney (in a cameo).
