 Amazing Show August 17, 2008

MAD MEN is truly amazing. It has everything that makes quality television. It takes place in the 60's and the time period is as much a character of the show as the people are. It is 100% accurate - the furnishings, clothes and THE SMOKING !! It is hilarious but oh so true of the period. Everyone smoked.
When you watch this show you are enthralled for it is one of those rare experiences today. it is not gratuitous television. It is a superbly crafted piece of art. It is glorious how each character slowly develops over the season and we learn more about them slowly as you would a person in real life. These characters become so addictive. The ensemble cast is so amazing it is difficult to pick anyone out but Jon Hamm does certainly rule the roost with his presence. But I am also sure Peter and Peggy will linger in your thoughts.
This is such intelligent television. It is of the caliber you would expect from HBO or Showtime. The historical facts are very interesting to me. They show the whole campaign and election between Kennedy and Nixon. I am 47 now so was not around for that. It is so interesting to see that Kennedy was not so overly popular when running and it shocked many when he won. The first Catholic president. My, my. I find that very timely with the election we are facing.
Nothing was spared to make this show the highest quality and the most accurate. Anyone associated with it should hold their head high and it certainly deserves all the accolades it has received.
If you have yet to view this show, don't deny yourself. It is quality tv at its best.

Great show. But spending $32, I should be able to fast forward when I want and skip all the commercials.

The first Mad Men episode I watched on AMC was the first episode in season two. I enjoyed it so much I ordered the first season on DVD so I could get the history before the next episode aired. Season one was so good I finished it in two days!
Yes! August 12, 2008

There's not much to say. You can over analyze anything you want but this is the best show to come along in a LONG time.
It is without a doubt the best show on TV right now.
