The appeal of Mad Men
One of my friends doesn't like Mad Men. I know why: he's an actor. He doesn't actually work for a living (not that I really do either).
Mad Men is career porn--no man can watch it without fantasizing about how awesome it would be to be that character. Contrast it with The Office and Dilbert, which are career schadenfreude, making us feel better from the there-but-for-the-grace-of-God-go-I feeling.
