The fourth season of "Mad Men" starts Sunday, and with it another round of opportunities to both marvel and gasp at how much things have changed since the early 1960s.

I have heard of this show, but never seen it. Rush was laughing about it today. What network is it on?

And more's the pity. Women who looked like women instead of prepubescent girls.

It is on AMC. It is definitely worth checking out. If nothing else I think you will find it is very non-PC

Here are some funnly lines

What do you all think of this show? I have never seen it but Netflix has it and I am thinking about recording this season.

Tell me if it is worth watching.
