I wanna buy this! I've heard nothing but good things, the only issue may be the subject matter which you really have to get into to enjoy. Amc is replayig the whole 1st season some time in early july before season 2 starts. I'd check it out thon tv before purtchasing it.

Good call. It is a terrific show in just about every way, but the style and subject matter won't be of interest to some people.

I read a bit about this when it first aired, but was watching so many shows at the time that I didn't bother trying it out. Then I caught the EW issue with it on the cover, read some more about it, and decided to procure the pilot episode on the Net. I enjoyed it enough to opt for a semi-blind buy rather than viewing the rest of the season in decent quality on my computer monitor. I had a $20 gift card, took it to Wal-Mart on Tuesday, and was glad to see they had a solitary copy sitting there, wrapped snugly in a black security sensor. It was $39.99, meaning I paid about $21 out of my own pocket. The wife and I just watched the pilot, since she hadn't yet seen it.

I'm anxious to watch the rest of Season 1 before Season 2 begins later this month.

I've been interested in checking this out. I guess I will on behalf of all these great reviews.

BluPayne4400 · 07-03-2008, 06:27 AM

I netflixed it and watch the first episode and nothing seem to happen for me. Now i know in seasons it takes more than the first episode to be able to judge a show so while i wont say the whole show sux to me but nothing came across as good from watching episiode one.

jimmymiro12 · 08-06-2008, 03:19 PM

I have never watched the show but it seems everyone really likes. I figure if I buy it I will buy it on Blu-Ray but I just need to know if i should purchase it or not.

Just finished the first season last night. I thought it was very well done. I would get it through Netflix though to see if you like it first.

Lucy Diamond · 08-06-2008, 03:23 PM

Sure, why not?

theprophecy247 · 08-06-2008, 03:37 PM

Good question, OP. I was wondering about people's opinion on Madmen here also. I've read good things about the PQ/AQ, so could be a possible future purchase if it is actually a good show.

jimmymiro12 · 08-07-2008, 05:41 PM

I bought it on bluray off of ebay for $22. so i think i got a pretty good deal.

I think its stange that Best Buy sells Mad Men on dvd for the same price as the Blu-ray

Tilapiah6 I will let you know what I think of the show. i think just seeing my first tv show in full
1080p will be a good experience.

It's in the Netflix queue.... at the top.... I don't know why I never saw it... I even heard it was good

thecroshow · 12-29-2008, 06:19 AM

i have heard a lot of buzz about Mad Men, never saw the show before. Blind buy for me this weekend and WOW i am impressed!! I thought i'd check out an episode see what it's all about and it's AMAZING! i watched the first 4 one sitting (live with my gf, that's a feat and a half!) i can't wait to watch the rest of the season and can't wait for season 2 on BD

assydingo · 12-29-2008, 06:27 AM

I couldn't recommend it higher

PrinceAllen · 12-29-2008, 07:46 AM

OMG YES! YES! YES! It was a blind buy for me too! and I'm so glad I got it... ALL but 3 episodes have 2 Commentaries!! (they all have atleast 1) so if you like commentaries it has a rewatchability factor and the other features are cool too! I got it for $16.99 @ amazon during Black Friday

but even at the current price it is WORTH IT! Especially cuz it is a BLU

ALSO GET PUSHING DAISIES if u don't have it!!

TheZoof · 12-29-2008, 02:52 PM

yes. It is great.

kndy · 12-29-2008, 02:55 PM

Definitely! Amazon had these on sale several weeks ago for $16.99 and made the purchase but hopefully it goes down again.... but definitely check it out!
