Anyone else watching Mad Men....
I think it is incredible...

A wonderful slice of the late 50's...

Really well done and well presented...

2. I agree, I posted a thread about this very subject a few days ago, in fact
it sank like a stone, with O replies. :D

:hi: Nice to know another fan! Yes, great writing, nice cast. Too much smoking, but that's how it was back then.

6. I think it would have been a little bit better if the would have
filmed it in B&W and added just a touch of color here and there...

Like they did on that Annie Potts show a few years back...

Any Day Now...

3. I just looked it up on IMDB...
It's a TV series, right?

Somehow I thought it was a movie!

Cool that you're enjoying it...

:hi:

11. Yup
What I like about the show is that the characters are complex and flawed in many ways.

9. Keep meaning to watch it
D'oh!

Sounds interested. I heard the writer on NPR yesterday talking about the show and how he developed the characters. He said doing research was kinda hard because the men who would have done that work then are mostly dead now. Lots of hard livin'. He wound up talking to some of the wives.

10. I've never seen it.

I guess I'm a bit preoccupied these days.

12. my husband and I have caught it and really liked it --
but when do new shows air? I think we've hit a few reruns and I'd like to know day/time for new episodes... I supposed I can always check online, huh?

13. Once, But Because it's on AMC
I forgot about it after the first week. I see now they are doing radio/TV campaign to promote it, targeting people like me.

I did like it however and will seek it out again. AMC is a channel I rarely watch, it would be a shame to see this show go away.
