 Re: Mad Men
I watched every episode of mad men last summer; it is so addicting to watch you'll want to come back for more...great show! a year now I I want to see that closeted gay guy find love! Jon Hamm is SMOKING hot! I have to put my panties in the dryer. Oh my god! He should have been People Magazine's sexiest man alive NOT that warewolf Hugh Jackman

 Re: Mad Men
I am really enjoying the show, however there's not enough advertising stuff in it. There's too much office drama and family drama in it - I can get that from any of a million shows. I was hoping it'd be a lot more like the West Wing - 90% politics (or in this case advertising), 10% family and office drama. That said, it's great.

 Re: Mad Men
By far the best TV show on the air right now (and the only one that I make a point to watch first run, instead of just waiting for the DVD/Blu-Rays).
Season 3 starts in August. 'Tis a long wait...

 Re: Mad Men
I just started to watch this show on sidereel.com. So far, I'm impressed. And yeah, John Hamm is a great main character. I just wish there was more advertising stuff. So far, the home life stuff bores me. And I don't like his wife or the actress.
I also give AMC props for the limited swearing. Just makes the show that much better.

 Re: Mad Men
Is anyone else excited for the premiere of Season 3 this Sunday? I've never watched the show on TV -- I watched Season 1 on DVD and Season 2 on iTunes (couldn't wait for the DVD on that one, plus I had a gift card!). I'm so obsessed with the show that I bought Season 2 on DVD and have rewatched it all with commentaries (the ones from Matt Weiner, anyway). I'm now in the process of rewatching Season 1. I just can't get enough Mad Men.
I understand people wanting more of the office and less of home life, but I love seeing both sides of these peoples' lives. The contrast for Don Draper is especially striking, and as a major arc of his story is his figuring out how to reconcile these disparate parts of his life and be happy and comfortable in both, I feel that the home scenes are just as important as the ones at Sterling-Coop. It's amazing how much I sympathize with this lying, cheating, manipulating, self-absorbed bastard of a guy. I think it's because he really does want happiness. He just doesn't know how to grab it and hold onto it. I think most of us can identify with that yearning. Anyway, fascinating character!
Plus the writing, the set design, hair, costumes, acting -- everything is top-notch. I love the wry humor, the historical references, the terrifyingly backwards attitudes. Really looking forward to Season 3.

 Re: Mad Men
They're not on hulu, no, but I've bought the first two seasons at my local Borders for $19.99 a pop and that's more than worth it, I d say. Also, they're very easy to get, illegally, online
Anywho, I am a huge fan of the show and, really, the only bummer's gonna be having to wait a whole week between episodes. That's what happened with me with The Wire, too. I burned through the first four seasons in like two weeks only to be tortured by the weeks of waiting between season five episodes. Bad times
