 Show is GREAT; Discs often don't play however! February 10, 2010
CAROLINE GARDNER (Devon, PA)
I have bought a lot of DVD's of movies and TV shows and have never had discs that do not play in the DVD or just play when they feel like it. It is ridiculous.
The show is GREAT...I love it but I am hoping that Season 2 has better quality discs!

Tired of Getting Junky Quality
 STYLISH, GREAT CHARACTERS! February 10, 2010
Aston Riser (B-more, USA)
Best show on television. No doubt. Great commentaries except whenever Eliz Moss talks. She should be quiet and let Hamm and Weiner comment since they are the reason this show is so amazing
Had to own February 10, 2010
Maddie Cat (Woodbury, MN)
I went on to Amazon to purcahse Season 2 and found that Season 1 was such a great price I had to buy that one as well, even though we had already seen it. Will be collecting all the seasons now.
Engaging and authentic February 10, 2010

After seeing the first season of "Mad Men", it's easy to see why it has won so many awards. The acting is superb. The stories and characters are engaging and interesting; you might not always like them, but they're never boring. The sets and costumes are very authentic. It only took watching one episode to get me hooked. Everything about the show feels authentic, with the characters having attitudes and behavior one would expect in the early 1960s. Many of the characters are seen drinking in the office and smoking everywhere. At times they are also rather sexist and racist. That's not to say these issues don't exist today, but they were even more prevalent then. As a result, the characters aren't always likable. Despite their many flaws, each character is developed enough to give you something to like or feel empathetic toward.
The main character, Don Draper, is the creative director at the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency on Madison Ave. in New York City. He cheats on his wife, although he still seems to care for her and it's not quite clear why he cheats. Don is a very strong and talented person; besides infidelity, he has other flaws and a somewhat mysterious past. Betty is married to Don and they have 3 kids. She is not quite happy with her life as it is. While she is not weak by any means, Betty plays the obedient wife role to Don and raises the kids with the help of a maid. Peggy Olson (my favorite character) is Don's new secretary. Coming to the big city from a smaller town background is an adjustment for Peggy, who still dresses as a young woman might in school; Miss Holloway, the head secretary, tries to mold Peggy in her image. While Peggy is soft-spoken, she soon shows she has her own talents. Pete Campbell is a young account exec whose family is wealthy and well-known. He's engaged to be married but is attracted to Peggy too. He clashes with Don in his attempts to get ahead in the company. Also working at the agency are many other interesting characters, from the art director Sal Romano to the partners Roger Sterling and Bert Cooper.
The storylines are varied, with the ad agency setting providing interesting client interactions and the diverse characters' lives being anything but dull. With great writing and acting, every episode is different and lead one into the other with a continuing story. Thankfully, missing an episode isn't a problem when you have the show on blu-ray or DVD.
MadMen-first season review February 3, 2010
Michele Sumner
I bought this as a gift for my husband who thoroughly enjoys the series and spends many hours of down-time travelling for business. He is really happy to have them.
