I admit. I have a few stories I like to follow. You know I'm a sucker for a good tale. This current addiction is all Chase's fault! But of course, we all make choices. And I choose Mad Men! Holy cheese, it's so engrossing. My mother watched an episode and called it a 'nighttime soap opera'. I said, aren't they all?
First off, I love how I feel like I've fallen head first into a time warp where women wore gloves and hats and housewives wore heels around the house. Half of my fascination is watching how people behaved in the 1960s. The other half is watching how people dressed. Ha! It seems that women spent a LOT more time and effort on their appearance back then. Did they get up at 4 am to style their hair? I'm lucky if I brush my hair before I'm out the door to work.
So I suppose my two favorite things about Mad Men is watching how people behaved and how they dressed. I also enjoy the advertising side of the show. Manipulating consumers to want a specific thing is useful. I like following how they sell ideas to the clients to sell products to consumers. It makes me get all philosophical and think "isn't every aspect of our life some sort of sales pitch?" And then I think....
I've been watching waaaaaaaaay too much tv.
