MAD MEN on AMC this Summer...



From the Emmy Award-winning executive producer and writer of the Sopranos; Matthew Wiener, is the BEST television show I have seen in a long time!

Reviewers have said:
"Television's best new drama" Newsweek
"...Possibly the best new show you'll see this summer" Time Magazine
"The sophistication of a feature film" People
"Gorgeous in every way... smart and tremendously attractive" The New Yorker
"So cool it will force you to turn off the air conditioning..." New York Post

If you missed the first season's 8 shows this summer... Catch up on AMC-tv.com or if in the US check HBO's ON Demand or if you are one of the hipsters that have mastered iTunes Download it today!

This past weekend AMC had an 8 hour marathon and while I was packing my life up - to move to paradise, I was reminded how great the writing is, the character development is deliberately intriguing. Add to that the visual details - hair, make-up wardrobe, props, set dec all perfect! Reminding me why Art Direction was once a dream of mine... I guarantee this Set Dec Team had fun pulling the 60's into reality. Plus mark my words the fashion influence of this series will be unmistakable next year... Aesthetics aside it's smart and surprisingly unpredictable. Plus as one of the producers said, "It reminds us how little we have changed. We are just better at being polite". That interests me... though being a child in the 60's I can confirm that reality - at least parenting has evolved.

Don't miss up coming episodes Thursday nights at 10pm... Enjoy! P.
