Have any of you been watching Man Men the past few years on AMC?  My wife and I first got into it last fall, which was the third season.  In case you are not familiar with the show, it's about advertising executives on Madison Avenue in the early 1960s and was created by Matt Weiner, who worked on The Sopranos as a writer and producer during that show's fifth and sixth seasons.

It's definitely become one of my five or six favorite shows of all time.  The wife and I have been catching up by watching seasons 1 and 2, and refreshing our memories of season 3 by renting and watching the DVDs these past few weeks.  Season 4 starts this Sunday night.  Yes, it rules!

I would advise that if you haven't watched it yet, but are thinking of starting, read some background material on it so that you'll be familiar with what's happened so far:

We're having a party Sunday night - come on over for martinis, highballs and cigarettes!

I've been following it, I like it, & looking forward to the new season on Sunday, I think it's getting to the part of '64, when The Beatles arrived in America & late '63 when Kennedy was shot in Nov. the show has all the style & vices of the era like smoking & drinking in offices, it's a good description of what was happening at the time, really good show.

I love the show. Fantastic characters. And so many authentic historic touches, including vintage vending machines, etc.

Can't wait for the new season to start Sunday.

one of my favourite television shows, of all time.
   Matthew Weiner is a genuine genius.

Love the slow pace, love the writing, love the acting......and have quite a soft spot for January Jones & Christina Hendricks.

Just one problem - over this side of the pond, we don't get Season 4 till January/February next year.

Best drama series currently on television.  This season should be a corker, set in 1964 -the british invasion begins.
