Hooked On....

Peggy has previously mentioned this tv series and talked to me several times about it. Since one of our favorite shows, Boston Legal, just ended we've been looking for a new one to view. I went to our local video store and rented season one of Mad Men ($.99 a disc) to see if we might like it. Well, we are well into the season and are quite hooked. One more disc...we'll be finished with one and I want season 2 to come out...quick! If you've not watched the show, I highly recommend it.

Here's what the web site says about the show:
"The series revolves around the conflicted world of Don Draper (Jon Hamm), the biggest ad man (and ladies man) in the business, and his colleagues at the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency. As Don makes the plays in the boardroom and the bedroom, he struggles to stay a step ahead of the rapidly changing times and the young executives nipping at his heels. The series also depicts authentically the roles of men and women in this era while exploring the true human nature beneath the guise of 1960s traditional family values."

Here's a picture of Betty (Don's wife). Don't know if you can see the knotty pine cabinets behind her. Our house on Dodd Dr. had the same cabinets along with the cafe curtains that are on the window to Betty's right. I just relate to so much of this show from all the women wearing shirt waist dresses to practically every adult lighting up a cigarette all the time.

Mel and I have had so much fun watching season 1 and are anxiously awaiting for season 2 to come out before season 3 starts back up on tv. Thanks for the recommendation, Peggy. We're hooked!
