AMC's Mad is one of the best shows on Tv (don't believe me check the amount of Emmy's, and for a cable show at that). For those out of the loop, Mad Men tells the story of the creation of the "American Dream", that is the myth created by Madison Avenue ad men. The story focuses on amoral hard drinking businessman Don Draper. While Draper cheats on his wife and is a liar, he is an enigmatic man who loves his children, has an intense work ethic, prefers the old-fashioned way of doing business and puts the clients before profit. The show, now in its third season, has steadily increased in popularity as it cleaned up at the Golden Globes and Emmy the last two years. It has been a critic's favorite since the beginning now it is inspiring pop culture and has partially brought about return of mid-century fashion and mid-century inspired ads. It has been spoofed on SNL and even Sesame Street ha spoofed it.
Catch it Sundays on AMC at 9.
