I'm still on Season 4 in Netflix. Darn good show and there's not too many "chick" shows I like, but "Mad Men" is very well written and true to form on how a typical Manhattan ad agency functioned back in the 1960s.

Back in the 1960s, every executive had a liquor cabinet in his office. And just about every office had the nonstop click-clack click-clack of typewriters. And they didn't need copiers because they had carbon paper.

No worries about "spoilers." I don't care if I know what happens if it's a well written show. I still haven't watched the last season of "Breaking Bad" yet even though I know pretty much everybody dies in the end. I just watch it on Netflix at my own pace and on my own schedule.

Favorite "Mad Men" moment was when that new boss came over from England and some secretary got on a John Deere tractor during a Christmas party and ran over his foot. Yes, this was in the office!

Awesome moment.

What happened on Mad Men, in a nutshell, the 60s ended, and the 70s began, with all of the “New Age” BS with it.

That was one of my favorites, too. I like the older Man Men episodes. I started getting board with it later on.

Yep, the riding lawnmower scene - classic. Roger's comment: "It looks like Guadalcanal out there!"
