It's somewhat rare when a TV show lives up to massive hype, but Mad Men really is one of those shows. It really is as great as you've heard, and it's great to see AMC putting so much money and time behind it. The second season premieres on Sunday, July 27 (after a July 20 marathon to get non-fans caught up), and below are some videos to give you a taste for what the show is like and what might be in store for the guys and girls at Sterling Cooper.
(And yes, in the new cast photo above, Paul has a beard!)
The first clip gives you a nice feel about what the show is about: truth, lies, identity, happiness, consequences.
This second clip is called "Sinner Man" and shows that almost all of the characters on the show have done something wrong.
There's also a lighter side to what the show is about. Those crazy "Modern Executives!"
But most of all, all of the characters have something to hide.
There are many more clips at the AMC site that will give you a good feel for the show, including clips titled "Nostalgia," "Ideas In My Head," and "The Truth." You can even watch the first episode in its entirety, clips from other season one episodes, and even footage of the season one wrap party.

"Red in the Face" is the best hour of television, period. Take a second look. So many great lines. Great writing, great acting. Priceless.

I'd be happy to question you about the "Red in the Face" show but I don't know where or when it is on, that and I don't see it in any google search or imdb.com

I believe 'Red in the Face' was an episode of Mad Men, episode 7 I think.
