I notoriously bad at following television series — I simply forget to follow them from one week to another — and in most cases I tend not too be particularly impressed with them either. In view of this, T. and I have discovered that buying the DVDs is a far better way for us to view the really good ones, and Mad Men is clearly one of those. We bought the first three seasons a while ago and will definitely buy the fourth season when it is released in late March this year. I can only join the large number of voices praising it. It is intelligent, quirky, and fun, and it paints a good picture of American society in general and advertising in particular in the 1960s. More television series like this one, please!
