One season in -- and Mad Men has made it onto Entertainment Weekly's list of "The New Classics" (the 100 best TV shows of the last 25 years)... at number 91, thank you very much. Rolling Stone also touts the drama as one of the top 10 musts for summer, noting that Season 2 finds Jon Hamm's Don Draper "struggling with an identity crisis."

New York Magazine declares that the New York Times Magazine's "splashy" Mad Men cover story earlier this month makes Matthew Weiner and the show "seem like TV ingenues, ready for anointing by the culture gurus at the Times Magazine as the Next Big Thing," while the New York Post calls Mad Men the "tube's most glamorous show." In the accompanying write-up, Hamm says, "When last we saw Don, he realized that his family had a more significant place in his life than he thought. Season two is seeing how he handles that realization."

ACCESS DIRECTV magazine highlights Hamm in an extensive photo spread and interview, noting that he "hit the jackpot with the breakout success of Mad Men" and says his part on the show was "his first leading role, and he hit that sucker out of the park." In the article, Hamm waxes eloquent about Draper's appeal as the anti-hero and discloses his preferred death row meal (an In-and-Out double-double burger, fries and a shake).
