Mad Men

I'm probably the only one on the internet who is watching AMC's Mad Men, but I'm here to tell you it's pretty great -- sorta like Sopranos for the advertising world. Some videos.

I'll second that.

It's too bad the show's on AMC because it deserves wider viewership. I didn't even know that I had AMC until I went looking for this show...what a backwater that channel is!

Are the episodes online anywhere?

You are not the only person on the net watching Mad Men--hating on its historical accuracy or lack thereof is a pastime on many TV sites.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/08/09/191138.php" target="_blank">http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/08/09/191138.php</a>

Literalists are killing the internet.

it is a good show. and at least they make an effort at historical accuracy, and they pick up on smart things to highlight, like the VW "Lemon" add.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> matt, you can download them from itunes. it's definitely worth the $4 for the first two episodes.<br /><br />

Hmm... My favorite advertising based movie is still "Roger Dodger".

I'm watching it and really enjoying it - this Thursday's epsiode was especialy strong ... <a href="http://paullevinson.blogspot.com/2007/08/mad-men-4-and-5-double-mad-men.html" target="_blank">Double Mad Men</a>
