AMC tv MAD MEN - WATCH THIS SHOW --- gosh, it is soooooo good

There are so many things to LOVE and LIKE about MAD MEN. Loving something and Liking something is different. This new series gives you both. I have tried to turn younger people toward this series. I was successful with Pushing Daisies, The L Word, Dexter, and The Tutors but no luck yet with this stunning series.

Of course, the writing is OFF THE CHAIN good. The acting is brilliant. The set design and all those things attached should be studied in film schools around the world. The camera department needs chocolate kisses and weekly foot rubs! They are so gifted ...... it gives me chills!

Many people have written about the talent of the casting team behind MAD MEN ........and their work (hard work) is splashed across the screen every week.

Jon Hamm as Don Draper, in this season is giving (in my opinion) his character a new depth, warmth as he faces an realized terror; himself.


John Slattery as Roger Sterling knocks it out of the ballpark--so to speak--with each performance. A still ocean that is very deep.


Vincent Kartheiser as Pete Campbell makes a "confused villain," likeable but barely. There is something oily about this character but Vincent, the actor, gives him just humanity for us to almost care.... nice.


January Jones as Betty Draper understands how to show sadness with class and a swagger. She is not out, just resting. Her skills, in front of the camera are like a cool drink on a hot day; needed and appreciated.

Christina Hendricks as Joan Holloway is such a gifted performer. Her body speaks volumes, no --- shouts volumes when her mouth is perfectly still. She is someone to watch. Christian is someone to applaud ... she paid attention in acting classes or is a keen student of body language. Either one works for me and makes watching her and re-watching her work, a joy.


Elisabeth Moss as Peggy Olson understands how to give life to a character that is fighting a huge, silent battle. It is touching and interesting to watch how little ole' Peggy is slowly pushing the lion out of the lamb.
