On Sunday, my favorite show Mad Men returns. Not only is the show classic in the sense that it's journeying its way through the 1960s--rumor has it the show resumes in late 1967--but classic in that it remains spoiler-free. It's impossible to get Matthew Weiner to leak. I think that is one reason the show is so powerful. Last season's suicide came as such an abrupt shock not merely because it was so graphic, but because it was so unexpected. Subtle clues may have been written in, but there were no glaring spoilers available online.
That is the way shows used to be enjoyed pre-internet. And that is how I hope to enjoy the new season!
