One of MY favorite things

AMC's Mad Men is one of the best shows that I've seen in a long time. Maybe ever. Yes, it's that good.

You can read more about it at amctv.com, but it breaks down like this. Set in the early 1960's, the main character is an advertising exec in Manhatten. He has a home in a suburbs, carefully tended by his doting wife, two children and a dog. His wife and his social life have little to do with each other and the only women in his office are secretaries. The show captures so much of the era from smoking in the hospital, down to the way the women shape their fingernails.

I highly recommend, though it's a little racy for the kiddos. They're running the first season on July 20th starting at noon with the new season kicking off on July 27th. All I can say if no matter where I'm living on July 27th, there WILL be a TiVo(DVR), oh yes, there will be TiVo.
