more on mad men

though i have been having fun watching the cable series mad men via netflix  aside from the era's sexism there is another thing that disturbs me about the series. mad men is set in the early 1960's and it totally convinces me that these actors are existing in the early 1960's. unlike actual tv series that were created in the early 1960's that have a dated period feel to them mad men seems like it is happening now instead of fifty years ago. this disturbs me because it is so surreal. my parents were young during that era . they were younger than the characters of this series, but it was the time of their young adulthood. when i watch this series i see the continuum of life and as enjoyable as it is, it is also bittersweet.
