Just started watching MAD MEN this season. Am I supposed to be this bored?
No point picking up in the middle. If you're interested, start with the Season 1 DVDs.
I believe the man's name is SCORSESE.
I've heard of Scorcese... he made that movie "Goodfellows".
I never feel that satisfied after watching an episode of Mad Men... its more of an overall pleasantness in regard to the series as a whole. This season is a bit of a snore though. Boardwalk Empire - anyone else sick of 30s era east-coast?
ekotone - this season feels pretty slow so far, doubtless they'll have the plot react to some historical (contemporary) event but I wouldn't be happy if they became too reliant upon that device.
Regarding "Boardwalk..." - is anyone else sick of Scorsese's gangster films? He seems to no interest in exploring his comedic side (other than cameos on "Curb Your Enthusiasm") despite the fact that "King of Comedy" and "After Hours" are remarkably good films.
