* ''Series/MadMen'' has a couple of brief mentions of The Beatles in season 4 (when Don gets Sally Beatles singles for Christmas to tick off Betty, and when he calls Sally to tell her he's taking her to see them at Shea Stadium), and then in the fifth season episode "Lady Lazarus", Don puts on ''Music/{{Revolver}}'', listens to "Tomorrow Never Knows" at Meghan's suggesting. While the song plays, we see a montage of Peggy working and Pete, on his way home from work, looking forlornly at Beth, the woman he's becoming attracted to...and then Don stops the record, clearly not into it.
