Mad for Mad Men

Maybe it’s because I work in advertising, but I’m always fascinated by stories about advertising. I ate up the Joshua Ferris novel Then We Came to the End, if only for his (their?) description of media buyers that had me rolling on the floor.

I love Mad Men for many of the same reasons. Sure, the characters are intriguing, the time-period perfect clothes and furnishings are to die for, but for me, it’s seeing the inner workings of the advertising agency. Because while things are much different today, they are often eerily similar to the way things are today.

And I’ll admit, once again I’m laughing at how they portray media buyers. Oh, Harry.

The final episode of the current season was absolutely my favorite by far. I’m so excited to see where the new partnerships (and lack thereof) take the show next year. I really, really don’t want to have to wait until next August.

In the meantime, I’ll just dress up in my Joan Holloway best and pretend I’m trading witty bon mots with Roger until I get my fix next summer. *sigh*
