Someone on the boards has to be watching this show. I don't see any other threads on this...any Mad Men fans out there?

    Yes! Love it! We bought it off iTunes this season so we can watch it in HD. It's not in HD in Canada. Brutal!

    My wife and I did a marathon run through seasons 1 and 2 leading up the the premiere of season 3. Great show and fantastic window into a time gone by. Surprisingly, it's made me somewhat more empathetic to some of my family elders who always seemed so distant from me and my way of thinking.

    Watched the first two episodes of season 3 there last night, and quite enjoyed them. Very much looking forward to what this season has in store :)

    Watching it. This is by far the best writing on TV today.

    The social interactions are spot on.

    Awesome show.
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Great show. Seasons 1 and 2 were brilliant. I dunno what it is, but for some reason I havent been too crazy about these first 3 episodes of season 3. Hopefully it picks up.

    Just started watching this season.

    Bummed I missed season 1&2 marathon, hopefully they run them again.

    If not, I might join Netflix in order the catch up.

    you must watch the first two seasons, they are so good, especially the season finale last year.

    I watched all the episodes from seasons 1 and 2 about 6 weeks ago and couldn't believe I had been missing out on this excellent show. So far I've been a little disappointed with the first 3 episodes of the new season. They've been good but not nearly on the level of what I expected coming off the first 2 seasons.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    I have 2 episodes left in season 2 and the best word I can use to describe it is bizarre.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    I LOOOOOOOVE this show! One of the best ever. I am still I think one season behind or something because my PVR copped out on me again. Time to get Netflix I think.

    Early seasons were really good. This past season (season 6 I think) was kinda stale to me. Just more of the same. And now they're dividing up the final season into 2 part with 7 episodes starting in March and then 7 more next year....seems kinda silly to me. Just AMC stretching it out since they have no other quality shows coming...

    I love this series. My wife and I just finished the last season...and while I enjoy it while im watching, I dont take anything away from it. Often, i even forget what the hell happened before I get to the next episode. I guess the point is, it gets redundant, but its still fun. I love the characters. Roger cracks me up.
