  The Best show in AMCTV, but what will make me BUY season one dvd is the limited edition Metal Lighter DVD case. The dvd has 13 episodes of the first season and special bonus materials. Dropping on July 1, 2008 Watch MAD MEN Sunday Nights @ 12AM | 11C

    I love this if for no other reason than it is Jon Hamm : )

  A truly unique show, giving us a flashback into a New York gone-bye via a high-powered ad agency in the early 1960's. As a women in my early thirties, it's almost incomprehensible to see the drastic change from less than 60 years earlier-particularly with the treatment of women, and the exorbitant smoking and drinking in the workplace. The social strata and it's rigid class labels of "secretaries", "bosses" and "wives" desperately trying to fill their assigned roles-while they dream of breaking away from that role-lends itself to brilliant drama. Tthe frustrations of those in the classes is effectively conveyed to us by the irreplaceable cast-ably led by the swoon-worthy Hamm.

  This is the best drama currently on television. Brilliantly written, excellently case, and laboriously costumed, this period piece whisks us back to Madison Avenue in 1959, dropping us right into the middle of the suddenly-booming advertising business. Though occasionally slow-paced, every episode is a treat.

  Mad Men is a gripping drama, but it is without a doubt the best-looking show of the last decade. From the title sequence to the perfect period wardrobes and office furniture, this show is sharp. Of course, I think it is a stroke of brilliance to release the DVD set in an oversize zippo lighter package, referencing the way that everyone smokes constantly during the show. Maybe season 2 will be packaged in one of those conical bras?

  This is possibly one of the greatest, smartest, most meticulously designed, written, fantastic shows on television. It's amazing. WATCH IT.

  I just recently finished Mad Men season one. I can unequivocally say, the critics (and everybody else) is right. This is one of the the better shows I've ever seen. Now, I just need to get going on season 2. Wish me luck.

  Got this from my parents last week and it's amazing. I've already seen the whole show so far, but the subtleties and great acting and costumes and tone will make me go back for more.
