With some of our favorite seasonal programs off the air until fall (or worse, next year,) many TV fans find themselves saying "Now what?" Over the course of the past couple months, I've heard so many people say "What am I going to do until (insert the name of series here) returns?!" Of course, I have often asked myself this very question, (especially after the phenomenal season finales of two of my favorite shows, "Glee" and "United States of Tara.") Fortunately, the summer is chock full of new and returning programs that are guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat.
For those of you who follow "Mad Men," I am sure you share my excitement of its highly anticipated 4th season opener, which is this Sunday, July 25th at 10pm/9pm Central on AMC (check your local listings.) Those of you who have not seen "Mad Men," the time is now! Sizzling seasons 1, 2, and 3 are available on DVD.
I have been following this scintillating series since its premier in the summer of 2007 and am completely hooked. The show, which takes place in the early 1960s in and around a fictional Madison Avenue Advertising Agency (named Sterling and Cooper,) is brimming over with style and sophistication. Plus, with juicy story lines involving sex, scandal, and secrecy, what's not to love? Then again, the show's catchphrase is "Where the truth lies." Appropriate? Quite.
The first two seasons of "Mad Men" focus primarily on the main character, Don Draper (played by the multi-talented Jon Hamm.) For those who are just starting to immerse themselves in the series, I will not give anything away. As the series progresses, we are given a look into the lives of others who work at Sterling and Cooper. Peggy Olson (played by Elizabeth Moss,) a young secretary, who becomes pregnant from a fellow coworker and puts the baby up for adoption. Salvatore (theatre vet Bryan Batt,) a closeted gay man who, though married, longs for comfort with other men. Each character has their own unique story, and it is fascinating to take a look into the trials and tribulations of their everyday lives.
"Mad Men," now in its fourth season, will begin with the opening of a new ad agency, Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. After three seasons of high drama and engaging story-telling, it will be a real treat to see what the cast and crew have in store for us.
So, remember folks! Mark your calendars! Set your Tivo! Tune in this Sunday, July 25th, at 10pm/9pm Central on AMC, and drop in to say "hello" to the fine people at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce!
