I haven't been blogging about it at all because I know most of my readers don't watch it, but I've been totally loving AMC's show "Mad Men," which just concluded its standout first season. I highly recommend everyone check out the first season DVDs when they come out; "Mad Men" is certainly the best HBO show ever not actually broadcast by HBO. I agree with Tim Goodman:
I love the theme song and the opening graphics. I love the modernism and color palette and clothes, the way the show makes you want to drink at noon - and then some. I love how it was an existential character study that took its damned time to reveal what was underneath and how it would never have been made on a broadcast network and poor AMC is using it as a loss leader. But we all benefit. I want AMC to get that DVD box set out before Christmas.Posted by Stephen Silver at October 22, 2007 04:25 PM
Awesome show! I can't believe HBO passed on it and that we have to wait until next summer for another season.
