Mad Men


So I've recently gotten myself addicted to a show called "Mad Men". It's on TMN. And it's all about the life and times of men from Madison Avenue advertising agencies during the early 1960s.

The entire account and creative teams are made up of sexist men in suits. The women all wear pointy bras and only work as secretaries. Oh - and there's a whole lot of infedelity, smoking and drinking.

For some reason, I'm addicted.

Maybe it's because it's "dangerous" or "exciting" in all the wrong kind of ways. Maybe it's because it makes me glad to be living and working in this day and age. Or maybe it's simply because it's entertaining. Who knows?

All I know is, it's fun to forget about being perfectly politically correct and escape for a while. Give me some mad men for an hour... and then get me back to reality.

  4. Hey guys, it's actually on AMC, not TMN. My mistake! Check it out... it's awesome.
    Oh - and franny... I can't wait for another season of Californication! First one was so good. Gotta love David Duchovny (or however you spell his last name).
