I think everyone who watches it can relate to someone in the show. Like for me I can see some of myself in Peter, he is torn between city "life" and now being a full time family man. I have fully embraced the ladder now but not so along ago it was a big adjustment for me and frankly anyone who just had their first child. Like in last night's episode his wife said when they were visiting Don in the city "god it is so loud here" and he mumbled "i know" like he missed it. Just little things like that draw you in.

I guess in away it is a soap opera but they seem to always do something that just blows your mind and it come out of no where.

I also think it brings to light just how powerful the AD world can be and this documents when it really started picking up steam.

My parents enjoy it a lot and I think they get a lot of nostalgia out of it. I like it to see them living in such a UN-political correct world.

It be a good summer program for you watch when nothing else is on and by the time you catch up this season will be on DVD.

Plus it is a great "wifey" show, to watch together. Actually some of the scenes are pretty hot and you may find yourselves pausing it for a "timeout". :cool-smil

Another great line from last night was during Don's "birthday gift". When Roger says to his young wife "why don't you dance like that for me" and she responded "why don't you look like him" (meaning Don). that made me laugh out loud.
