MAD MEN looks like another big winner from Matt Weiner (one of the key Executive Producers and Writers for the Sopranos). The shows concept is terrific - a period piece set in 1960, just as the staid 50s were transitioning into the dynamic 60s - a period of immense change in America. This MAKING OF... really does make me want to see this show - I cannot wait to see it in July! The AMC website on the program, http://media.amctv.com/originals/madmen/ is very well conceived and executed.
About The Show
Set in 1960's New York, series follows the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Madison Avenue advertising, an ego-driven world where key players make an art of the sell while their private world gets sold. Story revolves around the conflicted world of Don Draper, the biggest ad man (and ladies man) in the business, and his colleagues at the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency. As Don makes the plays in the boardroom and the bedroom, he struggles to stay a step ahead of the rapidly changing times and the young executives nipping at his heels.
