    Weirdly for a show that won 4 Emmys in a row, the show's actually become quite underrated over time. It's probably the most consistent show season-to-season I've ever seen. Out of 7 seasons season 6 was the only one that wasn't excellent, and even that had a really great finale. The final season (or half-season) was probably the best thing on TV that year other than Fargo and Hannibal yet it didn't seem to get much credit at all

      +GiantSandles i think MadMen became it's own worst enemy in that it was so good and deservedly won so many awards, that other shows/the network officials kind of colluded against them. they couldn't pay for an award after the 4th season - which was absolute insanity. that show should have taken home awards every year for its excellence. instead of punishing, the show should have been lauded as one that every actor/actress should use as a tool in mastering their craft. everyone brought their A game, including the children. because the jealousy of the show had become SO obvious and in the ether towards the shows end, it would been incredibly foolish to not give jon hamm an emmy for his portrayal of don draper. people may have actually stopped watching; you can't have a show if no one watches.

      One of the reasons the show was great was that the makers of the same went all out to capture not just the physical look of the time, but the social and other atmosphere of the time. My Dad was an exec (not in advertising) during the time "MM" is set, and much of what the show puts forth was definitely true and accurate. Great show, sorry it is now done.

      I was shocked Pete didn't ask any questions about his child. And the scene when he begs for forgiveness so his wife takes him back; I imagined in my head that he would confess to his family on his death bed.

    A memorable episode for me is when Don takes his family out for a picnic in his new Cadillac. As they get ready to go home, Betty flings all their trash on the ground. They drive off, but the camera stays. And stays. Without a word; it speaks Loud and Clear.

    For some reason, the scene when Don makes Connie Hilton an old fashioned at Roger’s wedding is my favorite. The unbridled confidence when he has no idea who Connie is. Literally, Don at his best. Personable, of course mysterious, and cavalier in the best way; yet, vulnerable, of course arrogant (rightfully so), and brutally sincere. One of the most flawed characters in the history of television; therefore, one of the best.

    For me its the historical references that makes this series. Snippets of culture/popular culture(bye bye birdie, marsha and john, etc) some of which I knew of some of which had to look up, the moon landing, Kennedy being shot, MMs death and life and the effect of it on people etc etc. Seeing those events that I never witnessed but read or heard about and witnessing them through other people's eyes is done beautifully and sets this otherwise 'entertaining' drama series apart as something truly remarkable.

I only started watching the show in December, I think but it's already become one of my favorites of all time. I will miss it after it ends

    When Cooper's secretary dies he says something like "she was born in a barn in 188? and died in the #? floor of a building, she was an astronaut". It was such an eye opener. For example, him and Clint Eastwood were born in 1930/1931. Segregation was an actuality for the first thirty years of their existence! It's mind boggling all the development that a person witnesses in their lifetime.

    While all these moments are great, there really, really, REALLY needed to be some moments from Don's past here. What sticks in my mind most as incredibly poignant and sad (especially given what happened later) was when Don's brother sees him on the train after Don (or Dick Whitman, really) has supposedly been killed in action.

    My favourite show of all time, the sopranos following in close second. People think mad men is boring but I think that ignores its beauty. Mad men was created to reflect the reality of life - some events in life seem mundane at first but time and other people's actions create significance. The growth from season 1 to 7 makes it feel like a new show every season.

It touches so many subjects that are of interest from that era: advertising, sexism, racism, homophobia, familyu values, and alcoholism. Not only was the series entertaining but it was a bit educational for me. Correct me if I'm wrong, but to me, it was.
    I also liked about Mad Men that all of the characters had interesting individual stories, all well written and developed and that all of the characters grew throughout the run of series.
