Don't miss the third season of Mad Men, starting tonight on AMC at 10pm EST/9pm CST.Yes, it's a guilty pleasure watching this show. First you say to youself, "How can they treat women and minorities like this?" And it is truly amazing and scary when you realize how our society was ordered not so long ago. But then you also notice the warm tones, old songs and innocent simplicity of a society that does not self-censure when it comes to smoking, drinking or even child rearing, and you say to yourself, "The past was truly another country." And it was.
If only we could save some of the past and throw out other aspects. So enjoy it for what it is; days gone by, beautifully recreated, with warts and all.
