Viewers are just hours away from the Season 7 series finale of the critically acclaimed Mad Man on AMC. In the final episode, this will be the last time audiences watch Don Draper (Jon Hamm), Joan Holloway (Christina Hendricks), and Sally Draper (Kiernan Shipka) on their television screen.

As we previously mentioned, in the first half of Mad Men's final season, the just-fired Don Draper (Hamm) was trying to get his job back. While Don faced struggles with his failing marriage with Megan (Jessica Paré), he also dealt with opposition at work from Peggy (Elizabeth Moss) and Joan (Hendricks). It took the death of Bertram Cooper (Robert Morse) to shake things and wake up Roger Sterling (John Slattery) to save his ad agency from falling apart.

Here is our 5 reasons why we'll miss Mad Men after the series finale:

1) No More SC&P

In our previous recap, though Roger made a deal to make his ad agency an independent subsidiary, McCann Erickson ended up acquiring his business. Joan even left once she threatened to file a lawsuit for sexual harassment. In her final moment with Roger, Peggy though is destined to run her own ad agency. The gang won't be together anytime soon, especially since Pete Campbell (Vincent Kartheiser) is moving far away with Trudy (Alison Brie).

2) No More Wardrobe Changes

You have to admit, the clothing looks awesome on both the men and women of the show. When the second half started, the costume department did a fantastic job with the outfits, capturing that 1970s vibe. Of course, Don never changes his style, keeping that suit on, as if he's meant to have a timeless look.

3) Will We Ever See Sal Again?

Even though they didn't kill off his character, Salvatore "Sal" Romano (Bryan Batt) was sadly missed when he was fired from the ad agency. We don't know what happened to Sal and every season, fans kept wondering if Sal will ever show up again. I don't think if he'll be showing up in the series finale and we'll always be left with that question. I'd like to think Sal got his life back together, maybe filed for divorce, but ultimately, found real happiness.

4) No More Emmy Considerations

In the first season, one of Don's best moments happened when he gave an incredibly moving speech during his presentation to Kodak. During his pitch, Draper explained to the company that their photo wheel wasn't really a wheel at all, but a carousel that fills their customers with nostalgia. We won't be hearing any more pitches from Don ever again.

5) No More Madison Avenue Men

Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner wrote the penultimate episode of award-winning The Sopranos. In a story within a story, through Aaron Staton's Ken Cosgrove, Weiner came up with The Punishment of X-4, a robot that causes the bridge collage that linked two planets by removing a single bolt. I really hope Weiner does something in genre next, like a superhero drama or a sci-fi thriller.

Mad Men airs one last Sunday at 10pm on AMC.
