Mad props for Madmen

The praise keeps rolling in for the best show on television (Ever? Since Six Feet Under? Hard to say...). I guess the below piece from the L.A. Times was owed, after they misspelled Jon Hamm's name in their Golden Globes nom article. Go, Jon, go. And is it just me, or does his secretary look just like the girl who played Donna in La Bamba?

"Mad Men" (AMC). A vision of 1960 as much based on the movies as the reality of the time, ripe with the dreadful thrill of a world on the verge of redefinition. Beautifully designed, with an abundance of fine performances, out of which I am arbitrarily moved to mention Robert Morse as the corporate eminence and Christina Hendricks as a smart woman stuck in an old mode.
