Shorter Mad Men: "Look at these uncivilised and backwards savages. Aren't they uncivilised, backwards, and savage?"

I do not get the appeal of this show, at all. It got marginally better in season 2, but 1 and 3 are pretty much endless paeans to "look how amusingly backward they are. Isn't it wonderful that we're not so backward?"

Agreed. Plus the design values are terrific - just look at how the costume colours often seem to be co-ordinated with the setting. And then there's the music; though there are songs from the period, much of it's been written for the series. You'll find lots of great Mad Men music clips on Youtube
