"Mad Men"

Set in 1960s New York, the sexy, stylized and provocative AMC drama Mad Men follows the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Madison Avenue advertising, an ego-driven world where key players make an art of the sell.

Created by Emmy and Golden Globe winning executive producer Matthew Weiner, Mad Men is anchored by an award-winning ensemble cast.

Spec Episode - "Families - Manson & Otherwise"

August 1969.  A turbulent time in America.  The innocence of the peaceful, flower power late 1960s era comes to an abrupt end as the Manson family roams the Hollywood Hills, the Zodiac Killer terrorizes San Francisco, and Stonewall riots divided New York.  

The growing pains that accompanied America from the mellow late ‘60s and into the violent ‘70s spills over into the lives of Megan, Peggy and Don, each in their own little bottle episodes with Megan in her Hollywood Hills pad, Peggy in San Francisco on a business trip and Don trying to escape a New York airport.  They are forced to see that their perceptions of family - - be it as parents, children, spouses, or lovers - - are destined to change.
