The show is broadcast on the American cable network AMC and is produced by Lionsgate Television. It premiered on July 19, 2007 and completed its third season on November 8, 2009. It has been renewed by AMC for a fourth season, which will air in 2010. Mad Men is set in the 1960s, initially at the fictional Sterling Cooper advertising agency on Madison Avenue in New York City, and later at the newly created firm of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. The show centers on Don Draper (Jon Hamm), creative director at Sterling Cooper and a founding partner at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, as well as 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 nine Emmys and five Golden Globes. It is the first basic cable series to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series, winning the award in 2008 and 2009[/quote] [B]I don't see much love for this show on these boards. Has anyone here actually watched it? It's an incredible character show, and like the title says, it's incredibly sexy.

This show is [U]excellent[/U]. I can't wait for the fourth season. The second season was a bit slow in my opinion, nothing really drastic happened and it just kept going. The third one however... :haw:
I've tried to watch the first few episodes of the first season.. but I can't seem to get into it. It seems dull for some reason.

It's alright, it's not a favorite of mine, but it's a fine show.
This airs on BBC4 every so often, which somehow boosts my expectations of it (BBC4 has a lot of interesting shows). I might get hold of the first few episodes and see if I like it.
shit's awesome. nothing like sitting back and watching mad men with a glass of good whisky.

[QUOTE=InsanePyro;20144275]Yeah I watched it and was bored to hell[/QUOTE] The first season is a little slow because the entire thing is basically introducing all the characters and showing you who Don Draper really is. Just keep going it gets better.
I saw the first season and up to episode 10 of the second one, I must say it's quite boring but I don't know why I just keep watching. And yes it is very sexy, just take a look at this babe: [IMG]http://www.doktakra.com/photos/Celebs-Id-Like-to-See/christina-hendricks.jpg[/IMG] One of the sexiest characters ever, the way she looks, talks, walks, DAMN!
