...Mad Men.
If you have not heard of or seen this show, please climb out from underneath that rock of yours and indulge in this absolutely d-i-v-i--n-e dramatic series. This show is now in it's 3rd (yay!) season, and I am still (if not more) utterly infatuated with every aspect of it.
Set in the early 60's, this show is based on a Manhattan advertising firm (hence the catch-phrase "Mad Men", which was dubbed by advertising execs back in the 60's). I can guarantee you will not find a smarter, sexier, or more fabulously wardrobe-d series. EVER.
Aside from the extremely swoon-worthy Don Draper (the hot exec every secretary WISHES they could fetch coffee for), I have to say my two favorite characters are
Joan (the busty Ging' Office Manager)
and Betty (Don Draper's stay-at-home wife)
you get the Marilyn and the Grace Kelly. Both have an equally powerful presence in the show, and both have closets full of dresses I would pillage any vintage store to obtain.
i die.
i die.
this show airs every Sunday at 10pm (PST) on AMC. Yes, i realize that channel is generally tivo'd by your grandma, but this show is definitely Generation X friendly. So do yourself a favor and take a gander at this amazing series.
you'll thank me later!
really?? i haven't watched it yet...hmmmm. maybe i shall...maybe i shall....
ReplyDeleteoh im so obsesssed with mad men. i didnt start until this summer, when I watched the first two seasons on dvd literally in 3 days.
ReplyDeletehaha me too! i was channel cruising one boring afternoon last year and mad men was on. i've been hooked ever since!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen it.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogging!
This is my favorite show. I've watched it since the first show and never miss it.
ReplyDeleteComing over to say hello from the Queen of Cheese herself, Alicia and so glad I did! I've never heard of Mad Men but I can't wait to watch it, esp. since I work in advertising!
ReplyDeleteJust stumbled over here from Alicia's blog! New follower and I love Mad Men. It is seriously awesome. Excited to start reading your blog!
ReplyDeleteLove Mad Men! I watched all of season 1 and 2 on Netflix and I'm now trying to catch up on Season 3. I LOVE their outfits and Don Draper is supa hot! All the smoking makes me a bit nauseous, I can't even imagine what their houses/offices would have smelled like back then.
ReplyDeleteI've heard so many great things about this show, even Oprah's BF Gail swears by it. I really must check it out now. I love your blog. I found you through your friend Alycia's blog. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI'm over from Alicia's....very cute blog!
ReplyDeleteAnd I haven't seen Mad Men bc we don't get AMC but I know I'd love it.

ReplyDeleteomg...I'm so addicted to this show! I just watched the newest episode (it was DVR'd) & can't beleive Peggy slept with Duck...wth?
ReplyDeleteCant wait til Sunday to see what else happens!

ReplyDeletehaven't watched mad men, yet - my DVR is too stacked with trashy reality shows! and THE OFFICE!
I thought that show was on a premium cable channel until this very blog post. Now I will watch it, since it's free. :)
ReplyDeleteCame over from Alicia's...I have heard so many great things about the show but forget to watch it!
