Mad for Mad Men


Season Four is upon us and the only thing I am more excited about is Elimination time on Big Brother 12. Mad Men, AMC's WASPier version of The Sopranos is BACK and ready for action. When we last left Don Draper and Co., they were fleeing the scene of Sterling Cooper, and forging their own way in a small hotel with Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. A year has passed and it seems as though everything is back to normal, but is it? The season premiere kicks off with Don sitting to lunch with a journalist from some advertising publication being quite coy. His nonchalance seems to be a turn off for the journalist, and the boys at the firm are a bit uneased by the interview's results. Could it be that he's got a lot on his mind? Could it be his stepford wife Betty living in his home with another man? Or is it Pete and Peggy's foolish escapades with hams? Maybe it's Roger's matchmaking pursuit to pair him with a Betty 2.0 with a bit more brains and class? Whichever the case, the show is back and has more smoking, drinking, misogyny, and backstabbing than ever.
It is now my time to urge you, please, watch this show. Because if you ever thought to yourself, "I would like to watch a show that is full of glamour, greed, and great writing," than I think I found it for you. If you have ever thought to yourself. "I'm in the mood for television that frighteningly narrates and mirrors the exploits and nuances of 1960s lifestyles and personas," FOUND IT! If you have ever wondered, "Where have all the classic male actors gone? The likes of Gregory Peck, Cary Grant, and James Dean?" I have two words: Jon. Hamm. If you think to yourself, "I want to watch a show that epitomizes the peak of fashion during the 20th century," BOOYAH.

Catch it on AMC. It's awesome

Thanks for reading, I am, the TV Enforcer.
