No, no, no. He simply is a handsome schmuck, signifying nothing, put forth to attract eyes to TV ads.

Well said. Draper is a misanthropic creep who stole another man's identity! Hardly a guy to epitomize the '60s Lounge scene.Or, Don Draper could be seen for what he really is - a well-dressed but severely damaged individual who can not truly relate to his own children, women or most other people in his life. I'd certainly leave the Lounge if that was the ideal members on here strive for. Yikes. I also reject the term "little woman". What is that supposed to mean? That it's okay to be a complete jerk and treat women like dirt, because they're just little=inferior?
Nasty people leading nasty lives.

I may be in a minority here but I couldn't get past a couple of seasons of the show. It's struck me as a period soap opera. Nasty people leading nasty lives.
I actually remember that! Awesome. One root beer coming up![video=youtube;j03RWXoGoYU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j03RWXoGoYU[/video]
We watched the first two then quit. Couldn't stand it any longer. Clothing and sets and cars were the only things of value...I had a friend go on and on about "Mad Men", telling me how funny it was. Not sure what I expected, but when I finally tried to sit through an episode (season 2 or 3, I'm not sure), it just didn't do it for me. Of course, I'm much more a between-the-wars kinda gal rather than mid-century, so maybe that was it. Anyway, I never got into it, and now that the cable's gone, it's one more thing I don't have to bother not to watch.
This.Mad Men seems to have its moments but everyone is so unlikeable I couldn't find a reason to want to know more about these characters.
This.
I bought a Jeeves and Wooster box instead.
