The men are played as yuppies. Yuppies didn't exist in 1960. Of course there were young, urban professionals, but they weren't this callow and blasé. They were a lot more like our dads. Even the strong silent types weren't quite this silent.
Some of the women have it down. Only some. Peggy's convincing (altho if you came from Bay Ridge then you had an accent big enough to drive a RR train thru.) I like Midge best, altho she's more 2-dimensional.
Of course, to appeal to the target audience, everybody has to be somewhat sexy and have young ideas, which means the men - especially - have to be somewhat callow and not too much like our dads.
