[QUOTE="ArchieLucasCarringtonEwing1989, post: 69955, member: 95"] I love this series! Its definitely one of the best shows ever made in recent years, Don Draper, ever the complicated, chauvinistic, yet sometimes chivalrous male, Pete is the epitome of the spoilt member of America's most powerful class: The WASP's at the time. Most intriguing was Betty, I know alot fans dislike her, but I felt very sorry for her, she was a woman of her time, born into the 1930s, a teenager in the 1940s (I'd loved to have seen more of the 1940s in the series, especially since this was the era where most of the characters were teenagers) and a housewife by the 1950s & 60s, she never has the same freedoms as her daughter Sally (another delightful character) who born in the 50s, has enjoyed the freedoms of the 60s, and will inevitably go on to become a yuppie in the 1980s. Peggy is perhaps the bravest of the characters, since she truly is the outsider to begin with who has to fight her way to the top, without losing any of her femininity I'll probably watch MAD MEN a 4th, 5th and 200th time and I wouldn't tire of it.
