Created by Matthew Weiner, Mad Men is a term coined in the late 1950s to describe the advertising executives of Madison Avenue. In the glamorous and ego-driven world of advertising, everyone is selling something and nothing is ever what it seems. Set in 1960 New York City, Mad Men reveals the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Madison Avenue's "Golden Age," when key players make an art of the sell while their private world gets sold. And no one plays the game better than Don Draper (Hamm), the biggest ad man''and ladies' man''in the business. All 13 episodes of the series are presented on three discs: 1. Smoke Gets In Your Eyes (48:39), 2. Ladies' Room (47:02), 3. Marriage Of Figaro (44:14), 4. New Amsterdam (45:11), 5. 5G (48:03), 6. Babylon (46:57), 7. Red In The Face (47:04), 8. The Hobo Code (48:03), 9. Shoot (47:35) 10. The Long Weekend (47:57) 11. Indian Summer (47:58), 12. Nixon Vs. Kennedy (47:50), and 13. The Wheel (51:41). (Gary Reber)
