Drum Roll please...MAD MEN Season 5!!!

The best thing about this March? Mad Men Season 5, that's what and a two-hour premiere on March 25th no less! I cannot tell you how excited I am for this, definitely one of my favourite TV shows ever ever ( Buffy was top dog for a while but I think I've grown out of that!). Not only am I dying to feast my eyes upon the amazing clothes and to find out what the hell happens next but watching Don do his thing is a pleasure in itself.

The poster for Season 5 complete with iconic ad man is apparently cooking up a bit of controversy for those who draw comparisons to "the falling man" of 9/11... far too grim I say!

I can't sing this show's praises enough- the writing, the casting, the wardrobe, the sexism, the chauvinism, the prejudice. It's such a perfect window into that era, unlike Pan Am which has unjustly been dubbed "the new Mad Men". I know a lot of people love it but I find it just another sickly sweet US drama with access to a dressing up box and which never scratches below the surface. It has Christina Ricci sure, but I haven't seen her in anything decent since Buffalow 66 and the Opposite Of Sex! I'm die- hard Mad Men- can you tell?!

Aaaanyway back to Mad Men, check out the Season 4 costume commentary from the Costume Designer, Janie Bryant- what a dream job that woman has!

 One of the best things about Mad Men are the sharp one liners, here's a few gems...

"If you don't like what's being said, change the conversation" - Don Draper

"When you don't have any power, you have to delay things." - Betty Draper

"Let's take it a little slower. I don't want to wake up pregnant." - Don Draper

"When God closes a door he opens a dress." - Roger Sterling

"I hate to say this, but this has really made me wonder about civil rights. Maybe it's not supposed to happen right now" - Betty Draper

Peggy - "I have a boyfriend."
Joyce - "He doesn’t own your vagina."
Peggy - "No, but he’s renting it."

"What you call 'love' was invented by guys like me. To sell Nylons." - Don Draper
