I am mad about mad men

My favorite show as of late is AMCs Mad Men

I do not get AMC, but it appears on On Demand (cable service) the day after it airs. I am a complete addict. I watched it last night and I am already counting off the days until next Friday.

1) the production design is amazing. Someone has to win an award for this one. There is a scene in a grocery store with all of the 1960's era labels throughout the entire store. It must have taken days of work to pull off that one shot.

2) most of the actors really haven't been in a lot of other shows. (Yes Nicole, that is Connor from Angel)

3) like the early sixties the actresses are not twig girls.

4) Finally it really interesting. It is interesting to see a time when everyone smoked, the Kennedy-Nixon presidential race, how different advertising was.

If you do get AMC I recommend watching it, and if you want something to add to your netflix queue, you might have to wait a while, but it is worth it.

Caution, like most prime time cable shows, this is not for young viewers.
