My fun little blog detailing all things pop culture...well, the interesting bits. I'll be covering music, television, film, and other similar areas of interest. I'll try to post at least once a day. Look for about 50% information, 50% opinion...but this is NOT a gossip blog. I am not Perez Hilton!

"You Should Really Be Watching...": Mad Men

Hey guys; sorry it took me a little later to write today. Things have been busy, but here's a little story about a really great television series that I think you should be watching.

"Mad Men" takes place during the 1960s and focuses around the exploits of the men who worked for the Madison Avenue advertising corporations and the women in their lives. If that doesn't sound all that interesting to you, well, you're not alone. At first I wasn't all that interested either, but all the glowing reviews got me to check it out and I'm glad I did, because it's amazing. The show was created and is overseen by Matthew Weiner, who also worked on "The Sopranos," and he fills this series with deep, intensely conflicted characters and enjoyably complex storylines. This really is television drama of the highest order.

The show returns to AMC for it's second season on Sunday, July 27 at 10pm. The DVD of the first season is in stores now, so you can catch up before it begins again. And even better, you can watch the entire first episode of the series for free at the show's official website. I've posted a link to it below.
