It took me forever, but I finally watched Mad Men. Various people have been telling me I should watch, but I kept putting it off. Thanks to Netflix, I finally watched all of season 1.
Yeah, the show is as awesome as described.
A few thoughts on the show in general:
It’s amazing now much things have changed — politically, socially, culturally — since then. Thank God for the women’s movement. I am so grateful for not having to deal with all the sexism, I can’t even begin to articulate it.
I find all the smoking shocking, especially the pregnant woman smoking. It seems so unreal.
The drinking, too. Lots of alcohol, including the pregnant woman. I don’t have the same aversion to it as the smoking though. In fact, I find myself wanting a drink — gin and tonic, my fave — while watching episodes. It just seems like I should have one in hand.
Perhaps subliminal advertising? Hmm… 
So watch the show if you haven’t already. I still have to catch up and get through season 2, before I can be current and see the new episodes, but I know I’m hooked.
Oh, and you must Mad Men Yourself!
Love your “Mad Men” picture. Blake and I finally gave in too. Just started watching this season. We’ll eventually catch up with the first 2 seasons. Have you watched “Dexter” yet? It’s my absolute fav right now and the 3rd season starts tonight!! Yippee!
