Still on the Mad Men Fence

I'm watching AMC TV's Mad Men, and I'm still on the fence about it. Don't get me wrong, it's very well written, the characters are well developed, the acting is top-notch, and all that. Maybe it's because I'm in the industry, but I really wish they would spend more time on the actual advertising; I really love those parts where they come up with the campaigns for their clients. I don't think I was really looking for another nighttime soap opera. I think, if I remember correctly, that as much as I loved the Sopranos, I really only liked the 'gangster' parts, and not the whole family thing that it devolved into.

I'll probably give the show at least another couple of episodes, though, just so I have something to talk about at the office the following day.

I do love, however, the new HBO mini-series Generation Kill. Wonder who did the pretty cool site for HBO?
