Mad Men - Season 1 (DVD, 2008, 4-Disc Set)

I loved Mad Men on TV and wanted to see it in more detail so I purchased it. I would give it 5 stars as being one of the most realistic and captivating series I have seen in years.

It is an interesting portrayal of the life and career of 1960's advertising men and their families in New York. The main character is suave, debonair, ladies man, Dan Draper, a veteran of WWII, decorated with the Purple Heart. Dan is smart, funny and has everything going for him, a great job, beautiful wife and children. Dan commutes by train to NYC every day to his job on Madison Ave., called in the trade as a Mad Men. Dan's life and past are full of secrets which are slowly divulged throughout the episodes. Dan is living a life of quiet frustration.

This is a glimpse of life in the 1960's where women wore dresses, hats and gloves to work and men wore suits, lies and wing tipped shoes. Life looked proper and respectable, but was it?

My wife is in advertising so seeing the way things were in 1960 blew my mind. Great story line and great charactors. Can't wait for season 2.

Rarely does a program capture a time period the early 60's as well as this series. The writing is outstanding. The cast is pitch perfect. This program not only brings our resent history to life, but also shows us that it is still possible for ground breaking acheivements in television.

I love mad man and missed the 1st season. Thanks for the great fast service...........................................

The item is in excellant condition. All discs were free from scratches. I received the set so quickly and nicely packaged. THANK YOU and I look forward to doing business with you in the future!

If you've been following Mad Men then you will enjoy owning the DVD disc set. After watching it at home with uninterrupted commercials, I picked up on some details about the show that I missed. Love the 60's clothes but way too much smoking.

If you love Mad Men like I do this is a must buy. I can't get enough of it! Being able to watch each of the season's episode over and over is the best!!!!!
Don't miss it! The package it comes in is an award winner in itself...

I really enjoy Mad Men. It transports you to a different era. it is very entertaining. I would recommend this show to others.

Very pleased with the product. I believe it was the lowest price of all of the new times listed. Exactly as described. Quick shipping. Thank you!

the show is great, I was thinking the other day about how great it was and wanted to make sure that you knew how great that I think it was. I purchased it from you.

all was perfect, thanks for the service...and the product was in very good conditions... i bought it because is a great tv serie....................................................................................................................

I grew up with star trek and man from u.n.c.l.e never thought i would find a show that would match that

Seller was communicative, and fast shipper. Received item within 3 days. Item was as described. Price was fair as compared with similar items being offered on ebay.

Great price and exactly what I wanted. Well packaged and good quality - accurate description. Very fast shipping. Thank you!

Intelligent and subversive, Mad Men reveals everything about advertising and the corporate model that
had caused the destruction of the American dream for so many people: greed, lies, showboating, and arrogance, among other things that are symbols of a youthful culture that has risen fast and needs to mature to last.

I was skeptical about this show initially. I didn't think there was anyway the show could live up to all the hype but much to my surprise it lived up to and surpassed my expectations. This is a great show!! Great sets, great acting and great style.

Good seller--just as described!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the TV series so much that I just have to own the DVD to show it again and again. Love the plots, the actors and actresses!

A great, great, show! Well written, well acted, and well produced. I can't wait till season 2 comes out! Definitely worth the money!

Easy transaction, courteous seller. He saw that my ground shipping wouldn't get the DVD to me before Christmas and asked if I wanted to upgrade to a faster shipping. I was out of town that weekend and could not respond, so he sent it via faster shipping and ate the cost himself.

The series has won numerous awards. After watching season 2 on AMC this year, I was very interested in seeing the series from the beginning. I bought a copy for a christmas gift and was compelled to also give it to myself. After viewing a few of the episodes, I am very happy that I did. The first season certainly fills many of the plots that appeared in season 2. Great Series!!

If you haven't watched it rent it! It is an awesome show. Great acting, sets and stories. If you are not satisfied see a doctor.

Love this DVD set - never had a chance to see Season 1 and am really enjoying understand the characters and series. It is so accurate with how men and women were in the workplace during that time - clothing is right on accurate and so are attitudes. If you enjoy this series - this would make an outstanding additon to your library. I look forward to being able to also get Season 2 when it is released!

A great example of why network TV has failed and will continue to fail in the future. None of the BIG 3 can even begin to compare to the consistent script and story quality of a show like this on a minor cable network.

Hmmm. Wonder why general TV ratings are constantly through the basement??

This is what the public desires and will support!!!
