Are you tired of all of the "I Love Money" style trash reality shows on tv these days? There is some great episodic television out there. My newest favorite is Mad Men. Mad Men has a little of everything...
1. It has your on-going soap opera style stories.
2. It has cut-throat office politics.
3. It has an inciteful look at 1960's gender-roles, race and class politics.
4. It reminds anyone that was born after 1980 that there was a time you could and did smoke everywhere and drink everywhere!
Favorite season 1 moment: Betty Draper, the perfect June Cleaver-esqu housewife, walks out into her front yard in her housecoat, lit cigarett hanging from her mouth, raises a bb gun and begins shooting at her neighbors pigeons.
