Watch Mad Men
The show's first season was set in the year 1960, and it introduced us to Don Draper and other notable characters such as Don's wife Betty, his boss and colleague Roger Sterling, and his new secretary Peggy Olson. Since then, the program has advanced through the decade, and it has shown the many changes happening in America from the unique perspective of its characters. Given the amazing amount of significant events that happened during the time in which the show is set, it also serves as a sort of history lesson.
The show was created by former Sopranos scribe Matthew Weiner, who writes the majority of Mad Men's episodes to this day. The writing for the program is spectacular, and it often involves some of the most realistic, yet powerful dialogue ever spoken in TV drama. This is due to Weiner's meticulous nature as well the talents of the writing staff that he has assembled. Each week, the show is able to take viewers to a familiar place while simultaneously thwarting their expectations of what might happen. Because of this, the program is discussed and debated at length on the internet and elsewhere every Monday after new episodes air. As a result, Mad Men has become a cultural phenomenon, even though its audience is quite small.
It is believed that Mad Men will run for a total of seven seasons, and that it will end up in the year 1970. If this is the case, the show will have documented the entirety of the 1960s in its own unique way. Viewers are anxious to see what the final episodes of the show will reveal and where its characters will find themselves. Since Mad Men is known for some shocking revelations, it is anybody's guess what will happen to Don Draper and company after all is said and done. Regardless of what happens, though, the show and its themes will likely be a topic of conversation in the culture for many years.

Mad Men News
The pair was recently spotted getting cozy at Hamm's movie premiere.
Have you seen the alternate ending to "Mad Men?" You should.
So what exactly happened with Don Draper? Series creator Matthew Weiner confirms.
The "Mad Men" star quietly checked in to a rehab program last month, according to reports.
Alexis Bledel and Vincent Kartheiser have tied the knot!
"Mad Men" is one of the greatest dramas to have ever aired on cable television. The show's consistent number of nominations and wins during awards season, not to mention the loyal fan following, speaks to the quality of the writing, acting and every other facet of the production. But just once, we wish the characters would sing a snappy song about keeping a pen between your tits.
So, maybe Don Draper doesn't always get the ladies... In anticipation of the premiere of the final season of "Mad Men," this little gem surfaced on YouTube today. It's a video of Jon Hamm on the dating show "The Big Date," which aired back in the 90's, when Hamm was just 25 years old. And it is fantastic. Hamm, in his full 90's floppy-haired glory, vies for the affection of a girl with a self-professed foot fetish.
