The physical detail is so exactly correct that it's like time traveling (the Revere Ware pots on the stove, for example). My mother had a dress like several on the show, with spaghetti straps, a tightly fitted bodice and a full skirt, and she looked beautiful in it.

I second Ms. Hendricks comments about Mr. Weiner's creative control. The freedom to carry through a carefully thought out vision without interference or compromise is something Mr. Whedon richly deserves.

I love Mad Men and Christina Hendricks brings such a wise, witty and voluptuous presence whenever she's in a scene. Her character Joan is so layered and fascinating, I always look forward to what she brings to the story. Certain twists and turns of events has meant that Joan is seen a little less, but when she is there she always makes an impact. I hope that the writers will find ways to feature her more often.

I'm fascinated with the era of the early 1960s, for a variety of reasons. Culturally, psychologically, and design-wise. Mad Men recreates the era so beautifully well... the way the show looks is as awesome as the writing and performances. Mad Men deserves all the kudos it gets.
