>Completely disagree about Mad Men which for me just keeps getting better and better. Last night just the scene at the end of the three women getting into the elevator reminded me of why this show is one of the best things that has ever been on television.
I haven't watched the episode yet but that's exactly what I like about it, things unsaid. There is a faith in the viewer's intelligence which I always appreciate. At the center is the true character of Don Draper. Good guy or bad guy? The writers leave it up to us.
The character I can never resist is Roger Sterling. He is a cretin -- albeit a cretin who flew jets in the war and who heads a leading advertising agency -- and doesn't try to fool anyone otherwise. He still has that flyboy swagger and thinks he can get away with anything. I also like his sometime paramour, Joan Holloway, for the obvious reasons. It's a large cast but there really isn't a bad character in the show.
