USA Today, NY Post Talk Up Season 2

The buzz for Season 2 suggests Mad Men is better than ever. But don't take our word for it. Listen to the critics.
USA Today proclaims that Matt Weiner and his cast and crew "don't appear to be letting their guard down" in the second season, noting that the Golden Globe-winning drama aptly "conveys the glamour, ordinariness and ugliness of its times." The New York Post chimes in, "Unlike many second season shows that start out great and then go through the terrible twos, Mad Men is, in fact, still so good that even blondes don't have this much fun."
The second season will open on Valentine's Day 1962, USA Today discloses. There aren't many other spoilers for what the Post calls the "slickest, coolest, downright sexist and unPC-ist drama on TV," although in a photo, USA Today does reveal the existence of a dog, named Chauncey, who is pictured with Duck Phillips and Pete Campbell in the office.
Season 2, which debuts on July 27, will "contrast the private self and the public persona," according to USA Today, with Weiner noting, "Last season, a lot of it was about discovery and peeling away layers. Now that we're on the inside of all these people, we're trying to take it from their point of view." Jon Hamm adds, "We answered a lot of questions in terms of the Don Draper/Dick Whitman schism, but there's still a lot of foggy area from the time of the Korean War to the time Don Draper shows up and becomes this advertising guy."
