I could be the only advertising person in America -- if not one of the only people in America -- who isn’t all that interested in “Mad Men”, the TV series about advertising in the 60’s. The second season starts later this month. I tried watching it last year, but never went back after a couple of episodes. Maybe I’ll try again this year, but I doubt it.
OK, so maybe it does “depict the changing mores of the early ‘60s” as Wikipedia puts it. I don’t care. I’m just not all that interested in advertising then. Or the changing mores of the ‘60s, either. (I don't even care about the "changing mores" of yesterday afternoon to tell you the truth.)
Now, if they’d do something about the advertising in the ‘70s, when things were really heating up in advertising and new rules were being written and creativity was really starting to soar -- well, I’m there.
Unless it conflicts with “Dexter”, of course.
A serial killer you can root for. That’s television!
