We finished Season 2 of Mad Men yesterday. And it's getting good. I still feel that it's more beautiful than brilliant, but I might be persuaded to change this opinion after Season 3. We'll see.
But here's what I don't get: Don Draper. The lure of the Drape. What are you all swooning about? He sure is handsome, and troubled, and a lot of women go for that kind of thing. But still. Intriguing is one thing, but a guy who never smiles? I dunno. I mean, I get the whole Player/Bad guy/Tough childhood appeal. I've been twentytwo, I've done that. But this? Nah.
Roger Sterling on the other hand. Silver fox with no morals, chauvinist pig with three cardiac arrests? That I totally see. You gotta love a guy who can down oysters and secretaries like there's no tomorrow. And clearly be enjoying it.

Well, I believe I fooled you once.
Just wait for Season 3! We love Don better than Roger though...
I have heard several people recommend this series...we just started The Wire and Dexter... so it will have to wait.
I'm so glad to know a kindred spirit! I have always wondered why girls are crazy for moody Don, when hilarious, handsome, tricky Roger is clearly the better time.
Yay! Beth's on my team!
Definitely!
LoL, I have never seen this show, but I like the actor who plays Don Draper - I remember when he guest starred on this show out here called "30 Rock" - he played a Doctor who only got his job because he was good-looking. He didn't even know how to do the heimlich maneuver!
Flying Doctors! I used to LOVE that show. I had no idea that it aired anywhere but Australia!
:)
Can you believe I have only seen one episode of this show!! i guess that is what happens when one doesn't own a tv.

I need to try this one again. Just can't get into it. Maybe too many distractions.
