Just checked out a first-season DVD of "Mad Men" from the library this weekend.

Excellent writing, great character development, nice musical arrangement and an interesting and seemingly accurate portrayal of corporate / office culture in 1950s America: heavy drinking, male cheuvanism, smoking everywhere, cigarette holders, and a level of self-confidence/ arrogance that is simply off the charts.

Very well produced. Recommended if you haven't caught it.

    If you liked season one, you'll LOVE season two. That show is a masterpiece and just keeps getting better.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Love this show and last night's episode was the best yet this season. Can't wait for the finale.

    FiOs FINALLY got AMC in HD, I hated watching this in SD. So distracting.

    One line I think is "Joan, look at you, the way you cruise around this place like a big ol' steam ship"
