Mad Men
« on: April 07, 2013, 09:50:52 AM »

 Is anyone else here watching AMC's series based on a  '60s Madison Avenue Ad Agency?
The new season starts tonight, I don't generally get too worked up over TV but this has been great fun to watch. It's pays attention to the time period's detail and uses historical events (i.e Kennedy assination, The Beatles, Vietnam War etc.) as essential parts of the story.......

Check it out if you haven't, I caught one episode late in the season last year then found I could watch the entire series that I'd missed on Netflix - Highly recommended for '60s children  ;)

 Well he is a handsome guy! I really like the attention to fashion (his and all the cast) he is visually so convincing. The show is such a time capsule, everybody smokes, all the time! Indoors, in every possible social circumstance.........At the office it's nothing for any of the exec's to be drinking whiskey at 10:00am.

i remember some of that stuff. the show is pretty spot on with all the details of the era. fashion wise very uncomfortable unless you enjoy living in a suit.

 I recall an early episode......At a neighborhood party, one of the children running past the parents (All smoking, even the preggie one!) with a clear plastic dry cleaning bag over her head........and the annoyed remark,"go play outside!"  ;D

The episode when the Xerox machine was delivered was a classic too - the machine was the size of a VW Beetle.  Another episode that captured the era perfectly was when Don and Betty took the kids for a picnic, and when they packed up to go home they left all their rubbish on the ground.  It's a great show, the missus and I have been watching it right from the start.  We do have an eclectic mix of TV series that we enjoy - Mad Men, True Blood, Game of Thrones, Homeland, Boardwalk Empire, Sons of Anarchy.
