Here's one that got linked at Pajamas Media:

Internet Movie Database is another good site for Mad Men and the actors too. Myspace and Live Journal have Mad Men groups.
Sorry, Mad Men producers, but Unbound Edition's hysterical synopses are way more entertaining than the show!
Andrew Johnston of Time Out NY writes pretty in-depth weekly pieces (Mad Men Fridays) for Matt Zoller Seitz' The House Next Door blog.

Alan Sepinwall, of the NJ Star-Ledger also does a good weekly post on the series:

Good job updating the blog and the rest of the Mad Men section of the AMC website. It makes the show feel just that much more "fresh". All the video clips and video interviews are great. Keep up the good work.
We live-blog Mad Men each week at http://www.newcritics.com
I read the blog of Mad Men on the TV Guide website. Good review in general and the comments by readers are thought provoking.
Thanks for listing my name and blog, but you just copied in the link for the above listing, and not the link for my blog :)

Thank you so much for including my snarky recaps on Unbound Edition in your list. (And thank you, Vamp, for the shoutout!) Here's the "Hobo Code" recap, if anyone would like to check it out. What a lovely beard Lois will make.

too bad they do not air this great show more often or in a time that real people can catch!
By far the best show on television right now. I must admit also that it comes on too late to watch it on Thursday nights. I always have to catch it On Demand.
Mad Men is a fantastic show. Great story lines, terrific acting, fabulous clothing! All around the best show I have seen in some time. I wish it would air an hour earlier so I wouldn't have to tape it!
Why is episode 5 playing?
Avid fan of your show. In fact, grew up in this household. I was raised in the early 60's by a dad that was a copywriter.
I ended up becoming an agency producer breast fed on jingle based cigarette and hamburger commercials,re-schooled in the 80's by clio award winners doing the new VW and revlon ads.
My grandmother was one of the first female agency copywriters,supporting her family through the depression while my grandather struggled with unemployment.
The few ad women I saw in my dad's office, were unwittingly laying the groundwork for my future.
suggestions to make show even better:
Tell matt weiner he is missing a rich area to mine - rampant alcoholism and drug abuse that went on behind the scenes of these picture perfect lives.
Also, spent last weekend in vermont with two 80 year old creative directors from huge agencies who also watch your show.
Thumbs down from the seniors who actaully lived that life. They claim it is "phony" because you do not depict the real work/true creative process that was actually behind the agency business.
can't wait till next season.
keep it up. one of the best shows on television.
You can pay to walk on the show?
