Mad for Mad Men

Tonight I could not be more excited. You would think it was my birthday or some personal exciting event, but no it is Season premiere of Mad Men ! I have been anticipating this for months, and mostly for the past week. Almost like a child waiting for Christmas, I have been looking forward to this night. It is simply my favorite show of all time.

I started watching the show in the beginning of season 3, and I was hooked on the costumes and of course the era. I then caught up watching seasons 1 & 2 on Comcast on Demand and found it was truly a brilliant show. Then all I wanted for my birthday was the 4 seasons on DVD so I could watch over & over.

The show is so well written, each character is complex and interesting, it is beautifully directed, and the costumes oh the costumes. And although we might not agree with Don Draper’s behavior, or Betty Draper’s weak will, something about them draws us in.

Thank you Mad Men for bringing such excitement to my Sunday nights and for all the style inspiration.
