I Love Television

Mad Men seems like it's clipping through time a bit too quickly. Does anyone really want to see Don in a Nehru jacket? Peggy tripping out of her gourd at Woodstock? One part of the sixties ended with the death of JFK, so I'm wondering if the series should die as well. Maybe they could rewind and give us just one more good season with the reunited team at the original Cooper Sterling?

i finally got on the Mad Men bandwagon this season. here's what i've learned;
there is NOT ONE single likeable character on the show.
the show loves to be clever; being clever in a tv show is way overrated.
the show is based in the 60's, I GET IT! it doesn't need to be beat into the ground the way it does, they need to FOCUS on better stories.
finally, this is basically an afternoon soap getting a prime time spot.

oh and SPOILER ALERT, Don Draper is a lesbian.

The above posters are leotarded, and don't know a good thing when they see it. Mad Men is obviously TV gold and if you can't recognize that you clearly don't know what good TV is.

"Learned Thing #3" made me pee a little in my pants. I never even realized how much I hated Sally Draper.

I absolutely ADORE "Mad Men" for the plot and costumes/sets but I agree with #3. The people are nightmares. I wouldn't want a single one of them in my house or at my dinner table.

Don Draper is proof that anyone can get away with being abusive, egocentric and unethical as long as you remove your hat in the elevator. He sickens me.

I used to listen to the Beatles and wish I were born in 1946 so I could live through the '60s heyday. This show makes me thankful I wasn't.

Great plot though. The 3rd season finale was gripping.
