I'm finishing up the 2nd season right now, I love this show. I'm not one to watch much television, I find it really boring for the most part (and really stupid some days), but every once in a while I find a show that I really get into and this is definitely one of them.

The 3rd season starts tomorrow night and i'm pretty excited about it , I hope this doesn't lower my credibility on here

So, anyone else watch it? The chain smoking, scotch drinking men of Mad Men keep me entertained

Mad Mad is one of my favorities series. I watch every episode. Last year when I was doing constant air travel for business, the DVDs of its episodes kept me entertained.

My father and grandmother both worked in offices in early 1960s New York. I often wonder was it was really like.

Dick Whitman or Pete Campbell?

Betty Draper or Peggy Olson?

Betty Draper or Joan Holloway?

Personally, I think that January Jones is one of the most beautiful women on TV.

Agreed, January Jones looks amazing on this show. Did you know she used to do Abercrombie & fitch ads back in the day? Quite a step up if you ask me

I did not know that. She is incredibly beautiful in a classy kind of way.

1st is necessary for all the background info. The 2nd season starts off kinda slow, but a LOT of shit starts to go down in the end of the season.

It's a great show with a very accurate depiction of the 60s (not from personal experience but from others telling me so) and an awesome story line that anyone can appreciate.

Here's a side of Betty Draper I don't see very often
