I searched high an low and could not find a thread about this show.
Mad Men is about ad execs in the 60's and it's god damn incredible. It's chock full of all the drunk driving, sexism, and cigarettes that you'd expect out the 60s, and it just won an emmy for best drama. Anyone else watch it?

Same. I do need to go back and watch Season 1. Do they touch on Draper's past in Season 1?

didn't read your spoiler but they do touch on draper's past in season 1. It's not as thrilling as you might think, but it at least gives a mild amount of insight.
Bah, I read that spoiler, I assume the latter part is from last night? I hadn't seen that yet.
It was season 2, episode 4: http://www.amctv.com/originals/madmen/episode204

Its suggestive, and plays on something I read on the Wikipedia page, "His past is shadowy, but he has achieved success and attained a reputation on account of his talent for insight into the consumer's mind." Considering I missed the first season, I feel like I am missing information.

First season shows that he was discontent as a child, and shows how we pulled off getting away from his family. It's nothing too scandalous, so don't get your hopes up.
"Did we get Miracle Whip?"
Sundays at 9PM GMT-6 on AMC.
Most of the season 2 episodes are on comcast on-demand, as well. I'd recomend watching it from the beginning though.
God Damn, yes.
Working at a PR firm, it is kind of funny to watch their take on the old way of brand building. I watch it and go "Holy shit did that actually sell back then?"
I love the show, but man, Don is a dickweed.
What's interesting from that aspect is that it's set at a time when marketing was just beginning to mature and evolve. The Lucky Strike episodes, for example, and the way they leap ahead of the competitors by completely dodging the medical issues and turning a mundane aspect of the tobacco manufacturing process into a USP. Or the Beetle "Think Small" ad campaign and how they develop a less patronising, more humorous ad campaign that doesn't treat the audience like an idiot and the impact that has on the creatives at Stirling Cooper.
The kodak product ended up being called the "carousel"
Utz is not only an actual brand, they are in fact the best brand.
Or one of them, anyway.
SHIT JUST GOT REAL.
hahah it wasn't just that, but she
Wait. That's like... a contradiction, right?
Seriously, who the hell are they? And why is Don seemingly so out of character? He just up and leaves? AND WHO IS HE MEETING?!
