HBO Max’s much-anticipated remastered debut of “Mad Men” was spoiled by several on-screen errors and mislabeled episodes.
Last month, Warner Bros. announced that it would remaster the show in 4K to give HBO Max “audiences and longtime Mad Men fans the opportunity to enjoy the series’ authentically crafted elements with crisp detail and enhanced visual clarity.”
The first four seasons of the show were shot on 35mm film. However, the sharper resolution didn’t distract people from the mistakes popping up onscreen.
During one Season 1 episode, crew members and a vomit bag are captured in a shot where drunken character Roger Sterling (played by John Slattery) threw up at the office.
In a Season 2 example, viewers were supposed to see character Peggy Olson (played by Elisabeth Moss) walking down a New York City street in the 1960s. However, watchers also saw a Mexican restaurant displaying a sign with a Los Angeles area code and an ad for cell phone SIM cards.
