Are you mad about Mad Men? I am! The series returns tonight on AMC and I can’t wait. This is a show I could watch with the sound off and still enjoy it. The retro sets and clothes are just amazing–I always feel like I’ve been transported into a different era.
If you missed my post about the show and the sets from last season, you can see it here:
“Mad Men” is Back with More Retro Goodness.
P.S. Are you one of the many readers who asked me to write a post about Diane Lane’s villa in the movie “Under the Tuscan Sun”? Come back tomorrow to see it!

I wish I had cable! That is definitely one show I’d watch. Guess I could always rent it through Netflix!

ooo Mad Men is good, yes…but I can’t wait to see the villa from Under The Tuscan Sun, I can’t wait. I lusted after that house through the whole movie.

I’m so excited! I already warned my son that Mad Men and Design Star will be recording at the same time so HE CAN’T TOUCH the tv

Julia,
This is my first time commenting, but have been following your blogs! Love, Love, Love….I am a pea of the same pod. I have a suggestion for Movie Mondays that I have not seen yet, “Dinner With Friends” starring Dennis Quaid, Andie McDowell, Greg Kinnear and Toni Collette. The homes (beach and NY!!!) are to die for. Interestingly enough, like “Somethings Gotta Give”, the screenplay/playwright was Donald Margulies. The plays is very well known….the movie less so but it is super great and the decor…..wow. Check it out and thanks for your beautiful blogs.
Best,
Kathy in Ann Arbor MI
Tracy–
I do know they film in the Los Angeles Center Studios, so I imagine you would see them around now and then. Last season Don Draper went to California for a few episodes–maybe some of those scenes were filmed in your area?
For those of you who haven’t seen it, I’d watch it at least once just for the sets. The attention to detail is incredible. -Julia
So funny. My sister was just telling me on Friday how great this show is, and she mentioned the same things you did.
I remember seeing previews for the first season and just forgetting to watch. Bummer. Maybe I can find Season 1 at the library. 
My TV will be tuned to Design Star tonight.

ohhh… im looking forward to your post tomorrow!! ill be back! xo.
Oooohhh, I’m loving the Mad Men style. I don’t have that channel, but I would like to see the show. Perhaps I’ll check Hulu.
And, since you asked, I am one of the people who suggested “Under the Tuscan Sun” so I absolutely CANNOT wait for tomorrow’s post! (If you think of it, come by tomorrow because I have a su-weet giveaway!)

Love Mad Men and am really looking forward to this season.
I love it too! I just found your brothers and sisters post from march and I love it too! I have so wanted to find pictures of that house!

Oh, I love it. How does that network do it over and over? Anyway, cannot wait. Wish it were now.

We (not too many shows my husband and I both get excited about) planned our whole night around watching the premier of this show. That meant DVRing Design Star and Army Wives. This was my first time watching the show. I loved it. I really dig the style, both in fashion (love those suits the secretaries wear) and decor (okay the headboard was definately influenced by current decor, it looks like J. Adlers with tufting). It is gorgeous though. I love tufted head boards. Love the color too. It was the first thing to catch my eye in that scene. Grear Post!
Today, we live in a paranoid culture, with rights eroding away faster than warp drive. In the 60s, we liked and got along with each other, no so now with PCs that enslave people so we lose our friendship skills. The internet, while convenient, makes us cold, like a machine, a very BAD thing indeed. I like to go out, meet strangers in a store, library, get away from this stupid computer and you should too.
