<I>One of the commenters thinks the draw is the clothes :)</I><BR/><BR/>I confess, there is something extremely attractive about the show - not just the actors, who are gorgeous, but the colours and, yes, the clothes.<BR/><BR/>I must check out the blog.

<I>it was more than 'just tv'.</I><BR/><BR/>I just found AMC's <A HREF="http://blogs.amctv.com/mad-men/" REL="nofollow"><I>Mad Men</I> blog</A>. I'm impressed that they present history along with the entertainment. E.g. under <I>1960s Handbook</I> there's an hour-long film of <A HREF="http://blogs.amctv.com/mad-men/2008/07/white-house-tour.php" REL="nofollow">Jacqueline Kennedy describing</A>

I don't know how I missed your <A HREF="http://rapeandadverbs.blogspot.com/2008/04/outcast-by-sadie-jones.html" REL="nofollow">review</A>. I even googled for info on <I>The Outcast</I> when I was ordering a pile of early-20th-century novels.<BR/><BR/>I see you mentioned <I>Mad Men</I> there too. Sounds like I should get the first episode from the library. <A HREF="http://bobmayer.org/2008/07/

Well, I don't want to 'big it up' but Mad Men was some of the best tv I saw this year. It just snuck up on me, as I was watching an episode, that it was more than 'just tv'.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I think Buffy (season 1-4, mind you) was more than tv, so you can ignore me.<BR/><BR/>I did a review of The Outcast. I read it in a single sitting, one day when I wasn't feeling very well. Perhaps because

That Tumperkin's pretty clever. I like Random facts Posted. Though "facts" is a high standard. Random fillips Posted?<BR/><BR/>No, I haven't seen <I>Mad Men</I>. Google says... a TV show about an ad agency in the '60s? I found some 2- to 20-minute clips of Season 1 on <A HREF="http://www.amctv.com/videos/madmen/" REL="nofollow">AMC</A>.<BR/><BR/>Funny, the library just got me <I>The Outcast<

I've read The Dud Avocado (though I mostly only remember the end, with the stint as a librarian).<BR/><BR/>Random facts Posted indeed.<BR/><BR/>Have you watched Mad Men? <BR/><BR/>Also, I recently read a book set in the 50s - The Outcast, by Sadie Jones, which was very 'atmospheric' as they say. <BR/><BR/>From being a rather boring and overlooked period, the fifties/ sixties are having a
