I just had to comment....

This new TV production is about the advertising industry in 1960 complete with cigarettes in every mouth, martinis in every hand, lots of infidelity, and very non-PC comments slipping out. Or so says Adam Hanft in his article at Slate.com.

I intend to watch it and give it a chance, but I am not usually excited about being bombarded by decadence and boorish behavior. There is enough of that in real life.

Mad Men airs on Thursdays at 9pm central time on AMC.

Review to follow....

UPDATE 20 July 07 -

Ten minutes into the show last night COX dropped the signal! So, until they rerun it, there will be no personal review. Meanwhile here is one from the Baltimore Sun to munch on.

ANOTHER UPDATE -

Here is a review by someone who was actually there. CAUTION: Rough language.
