I watched the first episode and it looks like a terrific show. More Good Summer TV: VOLOKH [Randy Barnett, July 21, 2007 at 12:03am] Trackbacks I just finished watching the new series Mad Men on AMC -- a show about advertising executives on Madison Avenue in 1960. It is well worth trying. Well written, gorgeously photographed, paced and scored in the style of cinema rather than TV. No doubt, the American Movie Channel required this for their first network series. As the description from the website says, it is from the executive producer and writer of The Sopranos and it shows. One more thing. Don't expect pap. It is obviously going to explore the issues of race, sexism, and antisemitism that was simmering just beneath the surface in 1960. But I hope the show does not get too preachy -- it has that potential, but the first episode at least did not succumb. Oh yes, unlike Sharon Glass in Burn Notice, the whole cast inhales and exhales copious amount of smoke. It is about a subject other than cops and lawyers, and it is going to be very sexy. volokh.com
