A couple of weeks ago, I told you how excited I was about the premiere of "Mad Men," AMC's new drama about the advertising industry set in 1960 New York. I'm still an episode behind (my DVR got a little overloaded when I was in LA for the TCA press tour), but everything I've seen and heard about this show suggests that the second episode was just as strong as the first. Tonight's third episode has Pete returning from his honeymoon conflicted about his bachelor party encounter with Peggy, while Don's business relationship with Rachel seems to be moving into unexpected territory.

Watching the trailer for "Mad Men," AMC's original series about the ruthless business of advertising in the 1960s, reminds me of Good Night and Good Luck, set a few years later and shot in color. The cigarettes everywhere, the martini lunches and the slicked-back hair all recall an era far removed from today's digital world. But, much like Good Night and Good Luck, "Mad Men" isn't just a period piece.
