I am just watching season one on On Demand from Comcast.

Very interesting. (since I was a teen in the 60's)

The way these guys treat women, will raise many female viewers' blood pressures.

But all in all I like the creative treatment so far.

Warning: if you watch too many in a row, it can be a mega downer!

I love this show. I think it shows a lot about advertising and our current culture. Did you see the one where they have the picnic and just leave all the trash sitting at the picnic site? It's great in how it brings up topics in our recent past that we want to forget about.

Mad Men season 2 starts today on Comcast OnDemand.

Looks like all the shows from the previous 3 seasons will be run before the season premier of season 4.

I really love this series...the psychology and the nostalgia, and show 201 had some great music too!

Season 3 is starting today on Comcast On Demand (free).

I new 4th season opens on July 25th.

I guess not many are watching this series? It is really very interesting, and quality writing, acting etc, IMO.

I tried but i just can't get into this. All my friends love it but i can't see the appeal.

Season 4 is rolling along now...and is rather intense.

The best episode ever is #7, called The Suitcase. The acting in this episode is enough to win Emmys for Jon Hamm and Eliz. Moss, IMO.
I recall an interview with Weiner, the writer, and he said this season is for "consequences". Well, last Sunday night, the problems with Don's daughter Sally, are reaching a head, I suspect on the season's end episode we will have a major cliffhanger with her! (the parenting on this show is just awful... but I have to say, I remember some of it myself, as I grew up during that time--only MY dad wasn't Jon Hamm ).

we cant wait till the next season to start yahoo to mad men!! i never knew drinking at work in that era was so breakfast lunch and dinner

I'm currently working my way through Season 2, and by working I mean enjoying thoroughly.

One my favourite scenes to date has to be a Draper family picnic in what looks like a park. As the family is about to leave, Don Draper crumples his beer can and casually lobs it away. This set me on edge somewhat, but was followed up by Betty Draper "cleaning up" by shaking all the rubbish generated by the picnic off their blanket onto the grass, then everyone walking away. The shot lingered on the debris that remained in the otherwise pristine parkland, and had me both amazed and amused.

Yes, that is a painful scene! I also don't like the parenting of Don's kids after the divorce... Betty turns really cruel! The first 2 seasons she showed some empathy towards Sally, but that changes radically in seasons 3 and 4. It is very difficult to watch those scenes for me at least now.

The feminist issues in this series can be painful to watch. Some days I get upset watching the demeaning situations, the women have to go thru!

But the sum of the show is positive IMO. Certainly does illustrate how far we've changed in just 30-40 yrs!
