 Still fabulous. September 8, 2008
I was utterly addicted to the show when it aired, and the DVDs are exactly what I needed, especially since I was growing a bit tired of watching them on my tiny iPod screen! Haven't poked around in the extra features yet, but just having the show is fantastic.
 Love it. September 8, 2008
After hearing good things about the show I bought the DVD. It's fantastic. The DVD set itself has the usual mini-docos. Fashionistas out there would love the feature about costumes and the audio commentary given by Janie Bryant. John Slattery and Jon Hamm team up for some commentary and it's hilarious. However, I'm giving 4-stars since I'm not a fan of the packaging. The DVD set comes with this plastic sleeve that's suppose to hold it together but it can be a pain to get it to work.
mix of gurley brown's sex and the single girl and sloane's the man in the grey flannel suit September 8, 2008
I was just dumbfounded by the cultural references so obvious in this series especially how the writers must have used these books to develop the characters. How the women were pressured to marry 'right' whether out of a seven sisters college or by following the rules of gurley-brown to enjoy work in the pink collar ghetto because its serves a two fold purpose: to get a man and/or keep your mind off of being single. And the men are expected to conform to rigid corporate rules by having the 'right' wife segregated in domesticity but be expected to get the clients/or theirselves laid.
MAD MEN Season ! August 30, 2008
I did not become aware of this series until a friend recommended it. I ordered season one because i was hooked on what had happened in the past with the characters. The show is awesome! It is a wonderful period piece of the late fifties/early sixties with complex characters and a spellbinding scripts for each episode.

I finally got to see what all the fuss is about but I wasn't expecting Peyton Place. The acting is great and every word uttered is clever. Other than that, I found an assortment of mostly dislikable people in a 60s setting, with the negatives amped up to 10. Those who lived through the period will recall that much of what went on was not malicious, it was institutionalized. Like smoking, a lot of people just didn't know any better.
By the second episode, as I watched the ad man falling from the building I thought, what a downer and as far as men and women are concerned, beneath the surface, how much has really changed?
