Mad Men

Are you watching?

This is AMC's original series centered on the creative director of Sterling & Cooper, a Madison Avenue ad agency set in the 1960's. It's smart, it's funny, it's got great characters:

• Uber-asshole partner Sterling
  
• Debonair Don Draper
  
• Erudite-yet-insane Pete Campbell
  
• Girl-next-door-intelligent-and-li'l-bit-sassy-secretary Peggy
• Cadre of overpaid, underworked, soused, chauvanistic copywriters, ad execs, and oh - the blatantly gay Art Director
  
• Draper's beautiful, immature, under-medicated, blondified housewife
• The impossibly curvaceous Joanie, head secretary
  

The costume is incredible; the dialogue, save some absurd lines, is fantastic; the feel of the series is "Sixties" - and all that entails. The main character is a womanizer, a dick to his coworkers, and essentially a gigantic ego who is grossly overpaid and lives life without either moral or social checks and balances (admit it: most of you men want to be Don, and most of you women want to be with Don).

It works. Well. It's great stuff. Check it out.
