Late to another Party
http://speedgibson.powerblogs.com/posts/1217339978.shtml


   A friend told me I need to see the "Mad Men" series on AMC (American
   Movie Classics), just starting season 2 last night. She said she
   watched the season one marathon, said I'd really like it, too. And I
   do.
   Through the magic of Comcast On Demand, I watched the first two
   episodes, actually 1 and 3. #2 and a couple of others are not there
   for some reason, but they are out there in HD.
   [1]Quoting Wikipedia, "Mad Men depicts the society and culture of the
   early 1960s, highlighting cigarette smoking, drinking (alcoholic
   beverages), sexism, and racial bias as examples of how that era, not
   so long ago, was so radically different from the present."
   The cars, the clothes, the furniture, it all matches my limited recall
   of that period. It's both fun and interesting, and I'm looking forward
   to the rest of season one and the new season.
