I was hooked in Season One, in love by Season Two, and comforted in Season Three. I have missed Season Four as a result of moving and no longer purchasing cable and having a very tight schedule, but I hold the TV show Mad Men in as high a regard as I did when I watched it religiously on Sunday evenings. I love the feeling of the show, the costuming, the romantic feel of reliving a time period to which I was never privy, and watching their creative juices and arguments flow.
Today on yahoo!news (because, let's face it, that's really the only place I find my news anymore), they announced that the writer and the show's producers have announced the final date schedulings for the show. They have come to terms on show length, actor appearances and removals from the show, and overall integrity in going forward, and I think they make a good point. Not every show is destined to be The Simpsons, where they can continuously pull from new material and find ways to keep it from being monotonous. Some shows are like movies and books and have a definite "run length". If this company feels it's best to have only 6 (maybe 7) seasons, then more power to them. It's refreshing to see some people still know how to keep something a good thing and not spoil it.
I'm just sad to know I won't have another chance to audition in the meantime! :-)
