The terrible downward trend of television scripted drama continues with Mad Men. Not only is its presence on what was once a movie network a shining example of Network Decay, the show continues to frustrating trend of unappealing "protagonists." Perhaps I am a purist, but I prefer my protagonists to be, you know, heroes. Sadly, the days of Hogan's Heroes (main actor who played the villain stipulated he would never win) and Star Trek: The Next Generation (creator stipulated no conflict--except manipulated by external forces like mind control--between the leads) are long past. Everyone has to have "layers," "grey areas," and the like. Don Draper is NOT an appealing character, in fact, all of the male leads in this show are jail-worthy. Just not appealing at all, I'd have to be a mad man to like Mad Men.

This is the best tv series that has been produced because its fun and it shows you how america was in the sixties: women were not allowed by society to be anymore than a secretary and men started drinking booze at 10 am.

I've only just recently watched the first season on DVD, and I enjoyed it a lot. I can see how an ADHD audience would easily be bored with Mad Men, but anybody who likes a character study should appreciate this series. The writing and acting is really well done, and I find Mad Men captivating.

I thouroughly enjoyed this show. I am glad Don is back with Betty.

Quality drama. Excellent acting. Great attention to the 60s time period both in the set dressing and in culture. I love this show!
