The AMC series, Mad Men, brilliantly depicts Madison Avenue ad agencies, American ideals, mores, and attitudes in the early 60s. In last Sunday's episode a rebellious Mad Man became enraged when the firm, Sterling Cooper, decided to represent the forces set to raze Penn Station. Lead character (and pro razing point man) Don Draper summed up the 60s attitude perfectly: "I was in California last week and everything was new and people have hope. New York is a decaying city. Let's bring New York something new." Today's Penn Station is undoubtedly the ugliest train station in the US. Its horrific demolition created the landmark commission we have today. But I love Mad Men! Here's a classic MM video moment, when Don Draper sells the Kodak Carousel as soul wrenching time machine.

Mad men.... never heard of, but I think that indeed the 50's and 60's were the glory days of the U.S. So energetic and creative. I will you tube Mad men.
Men in suits--oh boy!
This show is the one reason that makes visiting my mother on Sunday night pleasurable (she has cable)
and I still use my slide projector and carousal. The bulbs are still readily available in Hollywood.
I've been hooked on this show since it first came on. Every aspect of it - the actors, the dialogue, the sets, story, all of it is just great.
Ach! I love Mad Men! I've been a fan since the very beginning! Totally addicted. Matt Weiner is fantastic!
Mad Men is great! In fact, I wrote a blog posting about a Mad Men party: http://bethstakeonlife.blogspot.com/2009/08/party-like-mad-man-or-woman.html
Thanks for sharing a great clip of a great show.
Mark and I love this show. It's so beautifully done.
I wish I could live on those sets, especially the one in California at that modern house.
I'm a MadMed addict and not ashamed to admit it! Fedoras, martinis, handsome devils and gorgeous dames - this show has it ALL!
I have to tell you Ken, I was thinking of you when I saw that episode about Penn Station! My husband travels through it everyday for years now & so do I (less frequently) We both find it a demoralizing experience.
I love MadMen too even though most of the characters are so friggin creepy!
yes I love mad men too, can't wait for the new series to start here.
I've heard great stuff about the show but I don't have on my cable. :-(
I love the clothes they wear. Please actually put effort in their attire back then.
I had to come back to this post to watch this clip again.
Favorite quote from last week:
"I'm in a very good place right now."
I had to come back and comment...the way these guys are posed is so terrible. Looks like an underwear commercial.
I love them, my Mad Men!
Say, now - THERE'S an idea! Have them all pose like that, IN THEIR UNDERWEAR.
Hawt!
MadMen, how do people suspend their disbelief when watching this? seems phony and self conscious. they are almost all so obviously ACTORS ACTING A PERIOD PART.. when off set I imagine they will check their iPhones
I'm not convinced.
Give me the real thing... "Naked City"
I do not own a tv but this is one of the rare tv show that I subscribe to via iTunes. Just make sure not to post spoilers on Sunday night as I can only download it on Monday mornings.
i just love to watch Mad Men. it is a great and a unique show. i have seen many period dramas from history but never seen any show on Early 60's.
