Do yourself a favor...

Do yourself a favor and watch the Season Premiere of Mad Men this evening on AMC. I never watched season 1, but due to a bunch of marathons of season 1 recently, I have seen about half. THe show is really good. It is very similar to Sopranos without the violence and nudity. I know a lot of you are asking why I would watch anything without nudity or violence, but this show is good. It is about a 1960 advertising firm, but much like Sopranos, it is really about all the lives of people that work there. One of them is having an affair with a secretary, one of them has a wife who is having an affair, one of the characters is a 27 year old hot shot who thinks he is the best and the main boss loves knocking him around. Because it is the 1960 there is a lot of condescending to women. All the guy characters make remarks to their female co-workers and tell them to dress differently and what not. It is worth your one hour on Sunday nights.
"I feel like I have lived the last 20 years as if I am on shore-leave."
"Yeah, its called living."



Here is a link to a 12 minute recap of season 1.
