“Advertising is based on one thing: Happiness.”

Gents,

Mad Men is an American dramatic television series created and produced by Matthew Weiner. The series airs on Sunday evenings on the American cable network AMC and is produced by Lionsgate Television. It premiered on July 19, 2007, and completed its fourth season on October 17, 2010. Each season has consisted of 13 episodes. The fifth season premiered on March 25, 2012.

Mad Men is set in the 1960s, initially at the fictional Sterling Cooper advertising agency on Madison Avenue in New York City, and later at the newly created firm Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. The focal point of the series is Don Draper (Jon Hamm), creative director at Sterling Cooper and a founding partner at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, and the people in his life, both in and out of the office. As such, it regularly depicts the changing moods and social mores of 1960s America.

Mad Men has received critical acclaim, particularly for its historical authenticity and visual style, and has won multiple awards, including fifteen Emmys and four Golden Globes. It is the first basic cable series to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series, winning it in each of its first four seasons in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011

Game of thrones; Boardwalk Empire

 

I agree Boardwalk is up there, they have next to no Talent (as in ASS and titties) on it.

Game of Thrones is overrated.

Who Do y'all like on the show? I'm talking talent wise not suit wise.

  1. GOT is over hyped because its on HBO. Every show on HBO at one time or another becomes overrated because its on HBO. Boardwalk, which is a great show, will become overrated soon (I hope not) because its on HBO. Entourage is a PERFECT example of this as.

The shows on HBO that haven't become overrated mainly due to the creators: Curb (always keeps you guessing) and Band of Brothers (mainly because it was a book first). Don't even get me started on the Pacific

Mad Men is the closest thing we have to thrilling, exciting, sexy, and charismatic.

^^^{Douchebag translation} Mad Men has that illest SWAG ever!
