This t-shirt (scroll down) is a little cheaper, ita.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Only two episodes have aired so far, Lee.
I like those locher tops. Mad Men has only aired two eps.
Hec, I started watching Mad Men. Mentioned it here--Vincent Kartheiser looks so clean cut! I don't know if I'll be able to take the rampant sexism for long. The smoking cracks me up, though.
Those t-shirts are gorgeous. Too spendy for me, but definitely gorgeous.
Anybody watching the new AMC series Mad Men?
Nope, but thanks for the reminder -- I remember thinking the previews looked verra cool.
As Tom notes, they're only two eps into the season.
It's very intriguing so far. Even the characters which would normally be window dressing (the pretty blonde wife, the mousey new secretary) clearly have more going on with them. The male lead is charismatic, unfaithful, loving father, loving husband (even while cheating), slightly embittered war vet.
On Conseula's enthusiastic review, I also nabbed Saving Grace. It's got a lot going for it, starting with Holly Hunter. She's awesome! She's like Bad Lieutenant South.
Vincent Kartheiser looks so clean cut!
I didn't recognize at first! He's playing a very interesting weasel. I think their take on the sexism is interesting. It's rampant in the culture but they don't endorse it at all. In fact, I think they slyly undermine it in a lot of ways. There are certainly a lot of strong female characters in what is very definitely a man's world.
I think the Mad Men sexism is a little OTT now, which means they won't get back to it for the rest of the season.
Hec, I agree, it's very layered and interesting how they present the stereotypes and sexism. I do like how they show women perpetuating it on themselves and their coworkers.
the sexism is brutal
As are the anti-Semitism, racism, and homophobia. But it's set in 1960.
But you're right, DavidS. Nobody is particularly likeable, but everyone is interesting. So far, I must keep watching.
So is there anyone else here who actually remembers 1960?
ETA: In addition to VK, the cast includes Christina Hendricks (Firefly). And Andy Umberger (BtVS, AtS, Firefly) guested on the 2nd episode.
