AMC’s Mad Men has captured our attention and struck a responsive chord with millions of viewers. The Madison Avenue lifestyle of the ’60’s is front and center. The style and lifestyle of what was viewed as a exciting and glamorous business.
I was interviewed recently by Kenya McCullum for an Examiner.com piece about the show. The Season 3 finale had just aired and Examiner was closing out its coverage of the season with a look ahead. Not at the next season. Today. Kenya is a great interviewer and we had an interesting and provocative chat about the show. She asked the question, Would he still like the advertising industry if he took a time capsule and saw what was to come? My answer was no, mainly because he would not be the Master of The Universe as he was in the 1960’s.
Examiner also conducted a poll asking a similar question. Looks like 75% of respondents agreed with my belief that Don would not like it on Madison Avenue today. Hope you enjoy the article and take the poll.
