I also watched Life on Mars. My roommate watched Mad Men, but I never found the time for an extra TV show. Other than noticing the contrasts between then and now, what do you think of the two shows?

Options come at a cost. "Options" aren't really "options" if women have to work, and it's apparent they pretty much do now. I actually do appreciate that women now have choices that they didn't have, but those "choices" may be so destructive to homes and families, they aren't really worth it. I don't like the impact it's having on the young. I don't like the number of female headed households in poverty. I would not have liked the era of Mad Men- one of my favorite shows (I saw all the episodes), but had I seen the present, I might have put up with it knowing that the "solution" was worse. Rather like what welfare did to black families- if you think about it.
