Mad Men is Coming

Here comes Mad Men - but which direction goes Don Draper? The coming spring means more than flowers - it also means the return of my favorite TV show of the last decade: Mad Men .  For the uninitiated, Don Draper is an " ad man " from the 1960's who sweeps through a meticulous recreation of the time period 's dress, furniture, decorum, and issues.  Entering the start of its sixth - and penultimate, according to show creator Matt Weinert - season, a couple of time gaps have brought the show to the precipice of the 1960's.  I can only imagine what the volatile last year of the decade will mean for the drama enveloping the series. Counting down the days until April 7, when the two-hour season premiere hits the airwaves.
