Mad Men is so great

After watching 8 episodes of Mad Men, I've decided (and not for the better) that at the moment I'm closer to the Betty character than I ever should be. Totally disturbing considering I've always said I don't want to be like that. When she talks to Don in bed about what she does all day and what she thinks about all day...I am pretty sure I've had that conversation recently. Makes me feel like I need to reevaluate my priorities to myself and my philosophies.

Probably the most interesting aspect of this show is that despite it taking place in 1960 upper-middle class land, and despite viewing the stay at home moms as sad and neglected, really so little has changed. (some) Women's lives are still utterly absorbed and determined by their men. Hell, even the alpha secretary in it, who on the surface seems so amazingly independent, is stuck in an affair that will never benefit her and is based on his schedule. It's so depressing. So utterly depressing.

This post is funny because you have to watch the show to fully get it. Really, I'm just too lazy to explain it all. But seriously, it is such an amazingly good show. Watch it, its On Demand even.
