I am ADDICTED to Mad Men!! This stylized transport back in time is dynamic, refreshing and fun! I am racing home on Thursday nights or pressing my DVR to watch this incredible mini series! I was miffed when AMC removed the wonderful series Hustle from it's lineup this year, but Mad Men is becoming a suitable replacement! Keep up the fine work!

Absolutely LOVE the show. I really enjoyed the angelic couple, the Darlings, who seem to represent a life Don Draper would really like to have. I see Mr. Draper as having what Don wants in his life. I think he loves the power in his life but envies Mr. Darling with his feelings for marriage and women in general. Sort of an angel on his shoulder saying "This is the way your life should be". I get this from his wistful look at them together at the party when Don was filming. Will the Darlings be a recurring pair?

I love Mad Men:~) January Jones is amazing. I'm a stay @ home mom and I find that I can connect with her character. I was so angry when Don told her "sometimes he feels like he is living with a little girl." I can't believe that her therapist would tell Don that she is hung up on petty jealousies. What the hell else can she be hung up on? The poor girl isn't even allowed to grieve her mother. I just love this show. It is just "Devine!"

From the 1st episode this show had me scratching my head. I lived and worked in NYC at one of the largest ad agencies in the city...in the 60's and 70's. None of this seems real to me. Much more like a 50's atmosphere,fashion, even the music. I just can't buy it and so I stopped watching.

Thank you for creating a well written, smartly produced show with interesting characters! The television world constantly lowers itself with all the cheap reality TV garbage. Mad Men is great, an original concept, and I'm on the young end of your demo, 28. My wife and I both love the show. Tell that to your advertisers. Keep up the good work!

A fan letter to the creator! I'm currently reading a biography of Anne Sexton, and the series plays right into what I'm reading about those days! Sexton was a housewife in the suburbs and began theraphy to help deal with her suicide attempt. Her therapist encouraged her to write and boy did she ever. She was complex, sexy, wild, and not-as-sick (in today's world she'd probably be deemed mildly neurotic) as she thought she was. She was born into a time where, as extroverted as the men were and as "hip" as they thought they were about women, Anne's poetry and insights into the emotional content of women's core shook them in their boots.

The atmosphere, the ambience, the drinking and smoking: all look like authentic depictions of the society which is described in Diane Wood Middlebrook's telling of Sexton's life.

As I watch the character January Jones plays unfold, I cannot help but see where some of Anne Sexton characteristics could easily be tapped to give this character some haunting and deep growth potential.

Here's hoping to see that character find an inner voice (disturbing as it may turn out to be) that will make this character whallop the audience with the "inner female voice" of the time.

DEAR MR. WIENER:

YOU'VE GOT THE PERIOD RIGHT AND SOME OF THE ARTIFACTS -- BEER CANS THAT NEED OPENERS -- RONA JAFFE'S BOOK: "THE BEST OF EVERYTHING." SAMMY DAVIS JR. SONGS WERE POPULAR, AS WAS ALWAYS: SINATRA.

I WORKED AT AN AGENCY AT 30 ROCK. TIME BUYERS CAME UP FROM THE MAIL ROOM AND THE MIMEOGRAPH DEPARTMENTS.(TRADING IN THEIR COMPANY SUPPLIED GREY LINEN JACKETS FOR CHARCOAL SUITS.)

IN THE '60'S, WOMEN WRITERS CAME INTO THEIR OWN IN ADVERTISING. NOT AS ATTRACTIVE AS SECRETARIES. THEY WERE FROM BRYN MAHR, SARAH LAWRENCE, AMHERST, AND DIDN'T CARE ABOUT LOOKS: HORN RIMMED GLASSES, BILLOWING TWEED SKIRTS, KNEE-LENGTH BLUE OR BLACK STOCKINGS. BLACK, HEELLESS, COMFORTABLE SHOES. DANGLING CIGARETTES AND TOUGH MOUTHS. AND, YES,MARTINI LUNCHES.

ONE AGENCY SIGNALED A PERSON'S TERMINATION FROM THE FIRM BY SUBTLY PLACING HIS CLOTHES HANGER OUTSIDE HIS OFFICE DOOR.

STEADILY DOING VOICE-OVER COMMERCIALS WAS ONE:ART CARNEY."HE'S GOING INTO LIVE TV," CRACKED A CREATIVE WRITER ABOUT HIM. "I WISH HIM WELL,IT'S A TOUGH NUT TO CRACK." SAID ANOTHER.

BEAUTIFUL, WOMEN CAME TO THE AGENCY FOR AUDITIONS. OFTEN THEY HAD TO CHANGE INTO COSTUMES IN THE LADIES ROOM.

SOME FEMALE STAFF OBSERVING THE CLOTHES CHANGES, COMMENTED SADLY, THAT THEIR PERSONAL UNDER-WEAR WAS RATHER SHABBY AND HAD SEEN BETTER DAYS.

ACCOUNT EXECUTIVES WERE NOT AS YOUNG AS IN YOUR SHOW. KIND OF OLD, RESPECTABLE, FATHERLY, I THOUGHT.

AN OBSERVASTION ABOUT NAMES: ALL THE CREATIVE PEOPLE HAD LAST NAMES: FROM 'A 'TO 'H' -- CARTER, CHASE, CABOT, HAINES, HANNAH, DOYLE, CRANDALL, CHRISTENBERRY, HOPKINS, ETC.ETC. ALL THE REST, ACCOUNTANTS,SUPERVISORS, AND TIME BUYERS ETC. OWNED THE REST OF THE ALPHABET FROM 'I' THRU, AT LEAST 'W'
