I hear some buzz over shows once in a while. The Wire, an obvious one to watch, The Shield, a great show but on a “cable network” which still has some sort of stigma. In the age of 1000 channels, the big 4 still have the most pull in spite of a worsening of shows.

It could be the combination of buzz and the fact that I now work in advertising (in IT so I get no ad cred whatsoever) I tuned into Mad Men and was hit as hard as I was when I first tuned into the Sopranos. And while I just now finished season 1, I have one big fat complaint… It’s not an HBO show. The limitation of language and what can be shown waters down the show. It could go all the way, it could but the need to stay in PG land makes it almost perfect.

I wont say I don’t love it. I do. But, the R version would make it a true expression of what it’s trying to say.
