Mad Men

The AMC hit series Mad Men premiered it's 3rd season on Sunday. If you have not checked out this show I highly recommend it. In short, Mad Men follows the life of Don Draper (John Hamm), the creative director of the ad agency Sterling Cooper. It is a great commentary on society in the 1960's and the evolution of society in that decade.

The opening credits show a man falling past skyscrapers that show advertisements from the time period. The opening credits actually pay homage to Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest and Vertigo (Both films I highly recommend you see). I couldn't find the video to embed so I have place this link for you to check it out.
