 Rating:  - EASILY THE BEST SHOW ON US TELEVISIONMad Men blew me away last summer when it burst upon the scene. In an era when scripted entertainment had been written off as all but moribund, Mad Men changed the rules and brought in the kind of quality you don't normally see on American television. This DVD anthology is worth every penny, as much for the series as for the extras. And, hey, anyone ever seen a more novel package than a replica of a Zippo? Mad Men is an original that has revitalized episodic TV itself. May its quality never slip! Rating: - It Doesn't Get Any Better Than ThisTotally absorbing, consuming and full of visual candy of all sorts. This show is a symphony of perfect pitch in every sense. The characters are real, the set dressing and costuming authentic in every detail. I hope this never ends. The storyline is compelling and smart. If you remember this time period you will love it even more. Rating: - Mad Men S1I Love it. Started watching Season 2 by accident then I realized had to watch 1 first. Amazing show. Rating:  - A bit overpraised, but a great show nonethelessStanding out against a backdrop containing a depressing number of boring sitcoms, brain-dead reality shows, and interchangeable law-enforcment procedurals, Mad Men is the kind of show that's been hastening my abandonment of network TV over the past several years. Chronicling a year (roughly) in the life of Madison Avenue ad agency Sterling Cooper, Mad Men enfolds an unapologetic look at early-1960's American society into an intelligent and occasionally comedic drama series. While the massive buzz might suggest otherwise, Mad Men is not in fact the best thing to happen to TV since color--the pacing could use some work, and the dialogue isn't always as clever or profound as it's obviously meant to be--but it's still nice to see a show this unabashedly cool and thoroughly absorbing. Largely forgoing contrived plot twists and tiresome histrionics, the show instead breezes by on its unforced charm and subtle character dynamics. Much has been made of the Mad Men's exacting recreation of a bygone era, and that attention to detail spills into every aspect of the show, giving it a colorful, vivid look and feel unlike anything else on TV. Even when the characters aren't doing anything consequential, as in a late-season episode showing the staff killing time during the presidential election with the bosses gone, it's a blast just to watch them hang out. Like many of the best shows of the past decade or so (think The Shield, The Wire, The Sopranos, etc.), Mad Men manages to juggle multiple ...

Only amazon is misrepresenting this product with the pictures...I ordered it because of the zippo but got plain packaging instead...called amazon they apologized and assured me that they would send the special edition...anddd they sent out the same one the following week...GREAT return policy however it is too bad that they are not able to communicate with the folks that are in charge of inventory. So buy it you won't be sorry...but zippo lighter it is NOT! Browse for similar items by category:
