For two years, I have heard every one rave about the show “Mad Men,” so I decided last week to give it a try. “Mad Men” is the name for advertising executives that worked on Madison Avenue in the 1960s. Just one episode, right? Apparently “Mad Men” is like potato chips because you can’t eat (or watch) just one. One innocent episode turned into 11 that I watched last week!! Who knew I had that much time on my hands?!
Dishes were neglected. Emails unanswered. And laundry piles grew. All because of a little show that I can’t seem to stop watching.
The constant smoking, drinking and adultery gets on my nerves, but the stories are so well written and I just want to find out more about each character. Not to mention, I am a sucker for any show set in the 50s or 60s.
But before my love affair with “Mad Men,” there were a couple others, like…
The West Wing
The Wire
Yes, I’ve watched every episode of the entire series. Sometimes twice! But they are amazing shows with talented actors and story lines.
So what is on your “must see” list? What are you always trying to convince other people to watch??

I think you forgot to mention DRAGNET, BEWITCHED, and possibly I DREAM OF JEANIE!! If I remember correctly!!
I’m just saying….. O and THE TWIGHT ZONE????
I loved the West Wing too. It sounds like Mad Men is something I would enjoy too.
I like a lot of shows but Lost was one of my favorites. I also have really liked 4400, Gilmore Girls, American Dreams (although have only been able to watch the 1st season)
