Mad Men

Are you watching this? If not, you should be. I'd been hearing a lot of buzz about the show and then it earned 16 Emmy nominations. There was a marathon of the first season on yesterday and I recorded it. I've watched 2 episodes so far and I am HOOKED! The first episode was good and I liked the energy of it, but the closing scene of that episode? Blew me away. I so didn't see it coming.
The show is set in 1960 and it is truly comical to watch some of the things we've become so paranoid about. In one scene, the little girl is playing with a plastic dry cleaners bag over her head. Her mother calls her over and you ware waiting for the admonition to get the bag off her head. But, no. The mother tells her that if the clothes from that bag are on the floor, that girl is going to be in a world of trouble! The divorcee in the neighborhood might bring down property values. And EVERYONE smokes. It's such an interesting glimpse into an intriguing time in our country.
