Crikey!!! About the edgiest TV show I've ever watched. They're breaking outstanding new ground. Anyone notice? If not...check it out. You may absolutely HATE some of the characters...but stick with it... they're far deeper than what a quick view shows.
Enjoy!!!
If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.
I'm hooked.
It comes on here in forty minutes so I'm trying to cram in as much ham radio and Web stuff as I can before it's time to plant my tukis in front of the teevee. Great show--excellent writing and fine acting.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Anyone else totaly hooked on Mad Men? <snip>
No, but I am getting into Happy 22 Year Old Naked Blue Eyed Blond Chicks playing beach volleyball. But that's just me.

I have hardly interest whatsoever in the personal situations, relations, etc. of people in real life much less those presented fictionally on TV.
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
Sounds like Asperger's Syndrome. Have you been diagnosed?

Same here. Unless it involves boobies.
I know a person who does have Asbergers and yes, he cannot relate to peoples personal feelings or situations. It has cost him the ability to have a girl friend, wife, family. The second a girl starts telling him how she feels or about her personal life or her family he detaches himself and cannot relate to her... They get the impression he is uncaring and cold and they dump him. He is totally clumsy and awkward when it comes to expressing himself or dealing with others. But, when he is talking about something he is interested in, like obscure languages or world cultures, or rare poisons or diseases he suddenly sounds like a college professor.
I am nothing like that. I'm not socially awkward and I can relate to people and I often do. But I don't get emotionally or romantically attached to people very easily and I tend to avoid trivial personality conflicts primarily because they don't always interest me. besides, i have had some bad experiences when it comes to getting too involved with peoples personal issues. I've found it best to let it pass and think about something I enjoy. Sometimes it makes me appear cold hearted but I am anything but.

I love the show because they do such of good job of trying to be period correct. Every once in a while, they'll screw up and throw in an IBM selectric, but for the most part they're pretty right on.
My Dad worked in an office similar to the one depicted in the early sixties. I remember the smoke and whiskey smell coming from his boss's office.
