    Mad Men

    I'm waiting for Endora to make an appearance.

    The admen are the heroes....just like "Bewitched".

    I find "Mad Men" heavy handed. All the period stuff comes off like a sledgehammer to swat a fly. I grew up in the era, many of the people depicted in the show would have been friends with my parents. My mother smoked through all her pregnancies, my parents drank, the cars had no seat belts and we didn't wear helmets on our bikes when we rode unsupervised to the local variety store.
