I thought so too. In fact, if they were any higher they would look like the wrestling suits that high school wrestlers wear. Maybe that's where they got the idea?
I remember an underwear commmercial on TV, this time for BVD underwear. It shows a man staying at a fine hotel, right outside his room door, getting his newspaper and wearing nothing but BVD underwear. Suddenly, the door locks behind him, and he can't get in so he has to sneak down to the front desk. On they way down, women are wooing him and people are looking at him and he finally gets down to the front desk, all the time the narrator is talking about how wonderful BVD underwear is. The tagline: "You're better off with BVD on."
So did you do high school wrestling?

RP, there are only maybe 2-3 cars on Mad Men because it takes place in New York where most people use the subway. But maybe one of the producers will read this web site and write a plot where Sterling Cooper will have Pete and Don Draper wrestle in underwear. Oh, they better be careful though, don't want to get Sal in on the action.
I went looking for Mad Men at the specified time and it wasn't on. I'll keep trying. I asked a couch potato friend about it and he said he had watched it and said it was well done, but that the characters are just not very likeable. I stopped watching "Entourage" for that reason, the characters are all such loathesome shallow people that I was disgusted with the entire premise. I still intend to give Mad Men a shot so I can draw my own conclusions.

Ralph, you are so right...
All the characters on Mad Men are sooooooo obnoxious! But that's part of the fun, hoping they will be "tripped up" by their secrets and their obnoxiousness. I mostly watch it because it is a good looking show - Everything is period correct and fans even find fault with some of the sets and dialogue. The most "glaring" fault I find is the ceiling/light fixtures over everyone's head in the Sterling Cooper office - It's a suspended panel ceiling with florescent light that I don't think came around maybe until mid 60's - and it is so bright white and clean and too new looking that I would not think it would exist back then. I always thought a 1960 building would have sheetrock ceilings, surface mounted light fixtures, and round vents. It is a good looking show in the way 2001 A Space Oddessy was a good looking movie - Incredibly boring, but good looking. Getting back to obnoxious - aren't most people running businesses like that? I mean, would you actually want to meet the man who runs Whirlpool? Most people I know of in management positions have very poor social skills, I wonder why that is?

Ralph---Mad Men is on at 9:00 on Thursdays in the Central Time Zone, so it's probably different out on the west coast. The characters definitely aren't cuddly, but they aren't over-the-top evil or anything, either. Advertising is/was a cut-throat business, so some pretty strong personalities (and neuroses) are sure to crop up...

Actually, I thought advertising was "The most fun you can have at work while still getting paid" but Don Draper is miserable and the rest are not much happier. As my father, a retired dentist would have said if he saw this show "People don't smile much around here do they"? Although I'm sure there are exceptions, I have found that most people running businesses and college professors are not very friendly people. Anybody here like that? In fact, in the Mad Men show, "Adam" who is a janitor in another building and may be Don Draper's brother is a lot happier than the people who have all that money. Oooh I must be in so much trouble for all this!

A little something from the ladie's side, June '53 Good Housekeeping.
I'll keep an eye out for Mad Men tonight. I presumed it was about the world of advertising--one quite different from that of Mc Mahon & Tate, I am sure!
Absolutely 100% in agreement with the obnoxious factor. I am quite familiar with it and my previously nearly-deserted office has been invaded by about 40 inside/outside sales reps. You wanna see obnoxious? Stop by my office any time! Advertising and sales go hand in hand. I find the whipper-snapper sales crew that now shares my office to be about the most loathesome and self-centered group of people in management at my company. The word "sincere" is not part of their vocabulary. I can't respect a single member of that smarmy group, and mine is a feeling that is generally shared by most of my colleagues, in particular those who were in this office with me before it was invaded. Oh, and did I mention how self-centered all of these sales reps are?
I'll check out Mad Men for the scenery but am presuming I won't find the characters any more likeable than the shallow-beyond-belief cast of Entourage. I started watching Entourage for he '65 Lincoln convertible they were bopping around in the first season. I'll be checking out Mad Men for a similar reason, not because I'm into the cast at all.

Look like the man on the left has his hand on the butt of the man on the right.
