I think the fact that Jon Hamm (or Don Draper as he's known on AMC) is strikingly handsome in this dead on 1962 way. It's hard to explain but he is the primary sex symbol of the show; I have only seen this done in a couple other T.V. shows or movies. (Hugh Jackman in the X Men movies is also a good example--I'm not saying that the women in X Men aren't beautiful but they tone down the ridiculous female super hero uniforms while showing us a lot of shirtless, and in X Men 2 for one frame, a completely nude Wolverine.).<br /><br />So, as I was saying, Jon Hamm is not typically my type but I really don't think the show would have been half what it is if they hadn't found the tall, dark haired stud with the constant five `o' clock shadow. He is not good to his wife and sleeps with all sorts of women but it seems to be his male coworkers that carelessly allow women to fall in love with them when they cheat--probably because Roger and Pete couldn't get half the women Don does so they don't know how to handle it when they do.<br /><br />There is a whole lot I would love to sit and yack on about when it comes to Mad Men. All I can say is that I can't wait until Season 5 comes out on DVD. And if anyone is a Breaking Bad fan, don't let any spoilers slip out, but that show is brilliant and keeps taking turns I wouldn't expect. I was behind three episodes because of how busy I've been at work so I took the few hours I had to go home and caught up on my BB viewing. Wow...that's all I have to say. AMC and HBO have started a generation of shows that are as high quality as feature films. The directing and cinematography are every bit as good. It's great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
