Madmen Swings in the Sixties
One of the best shows currently on TV this season has to be AMC's Madmen. Set in the swingin' early sixties, the show is about a group of hard-drinking, chain-smoking advertising executives working in a Madison Avenue agency. Sixties nostalgia had traditionally been focused on the hairy, smelly, hippy years of the later sixties Woodstock generation, with the skinny-tie, martini-swilling, hifi jazz years relegated to squareness. No more, the suave cool has become cool once again, thanks to this excellent TV program.
Sharp scripts and clever plot-lines keep the show moving at a brisk pace, but one of the best features of the program is that it features the most beautiful woman currently on television - the lovely and curvaceous Christina Hendricks. In this age of skeletal, super-model waifs, it is refreshing to see a buxom, hippy and drop-dead gorgeous woman bouncing about on the screen. Her Marilyn Monroe style curves captivate popslant every moment she is on the screen.
Oh, and she can act, too.
