Does anyone here watch the AMC TV Series Mad Men?
(I hardly ever watch TV, let alone follow any shows, with 2 exceptions. I love Mad Men and Two and Half Men.)
Anyway, Mad Men is in it's 3rd season, on tonight, Sunday night at 10 pm & 11 pm (encore) on AMC if you want to check it out. It's a great show set in 1962 this season.
One of the characters on Mad Men, Paul Kinsey, played by Michael Gladis, smokes a pipe.
What is really cool is that he smokes a pipe in real life and is actually smoking real pipe tobacco on the set.
A quote from an interview with him says:
"I actually love smoking a pipe and I'm very happy that Paul does. Does that mean he takes himself too seriously? No. You know what it means? It means he's a man who appreciates quality and he takes time to enjoy the things he enjoys. Cigarette tobacco is so cheap and you're always just sucking them down to get a fix but a pipe is an event...My big goal for season two is that Paul should have more than one pipe because it's not good to smoke the same pipe everyday. It's a nice accessory actually. Is today the bent pipe day or is it the straight stem day? Is it the black pipe or the brown pipe? It could go with the suit. There are all sorts of possibilities."
Background on the show.
It premiered on July 19, 2007 and completed its second season on October 26, 2008. The third season began on August 16, 2009.[1]
Set in New York City, Mad Men begins in 1960 at the fictional Sterling Cooper advertising agency on Madison Avenue.[2] The show centers on Don Draper (Jon Hamm), the agency's creative director, and those in his life, in and out of the office. It also depicts the changing social mores of 1960s America.
Mad Men has received critical acclaim, particularly for its historical authenticity and visual style, and has won multiple awards, including three Golden Globes, a BAFTA and six Emmys. It is the first basic cable series to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series.
(There's hot chicks on it too.)
