Mad Men Season 2 blu-ray $22.49

[Craig234]

Good show, captures a lot about the 60's well, DVD's include a couple interesting films on topics like fashion and women's rights.

Season 1 is at good prices too (normal DVD about $18) and should be watched before season 2 (it's oine of those ongoing story shows).

Season 1 is about the same price. My wife and I LOVE this show, it's excellent.

Heh. Yeah, it's amazing how much this show encapsulates the look and feel of the 60's. I'm astonished by some of the stuff they did back then. But I'm only just 40, and I remember how it was when I was a kid...

When you listen to the commentaries, you learn how they really did the research tom come up with a lot of the bits they put in.

For example, the culture about pollution, in a scene where they have a picnic and when done, dump all the trash off the blanket on the ground and leave.

'Awareness' about littering came more in the 70's, following the Johnson 'America beautification' campaign, with the crying Indian ad, anti-litter laws, etc.

The best show on TV imo, destined to be a classic series.

I remember that scene with the picnic and laughing my a$$ off. I remember my dad telling me about how people would just throw garbage out of there car while driving and how the highways were discusting. Makes you think about some of the stuff we do today that our kids will look back on and laugh at us for...
