I love Mad Men, just really discovered it so in the last two weeks I've had a Mad Men Marathon, I've watched all four seasons and I'm now up to date with season 5. It's a great show, wonderful character development, that's why you can watch the show and are intrigued even when nothing happens. The characters are so deep,rich and flawed that you feel like you know them intimately. I found this very similar to the characters on the Sopranos, of which Matthew Wiener was a writer hired by David Chase after he read the outline for Mad Men which then sat on the shelf for years until the Sapranos was finished. Plus I just love all the sixty's stuff that brings back so many childhood memories. It makes you wonder sometimes if we actually progressed because that seemed to be a very fun time.
The show has actual brought me back to pipe smoking, I smoked a little in college in the early 90's. I was born in the mid sixties and I remember my dads smoking stand filled with pipes and tobacco and the wonderful smell.
Well I'm new here and looking forward to being part of this forum, have already learned tons.
