You'd have to be living under a rock not to be aware of AMC's Mad Men, the heavily pomaded, critically lauded sixties drama whose first season drops today on DVD. We're not as breathlessly reverent as some of the show's admirers, but Mad Men brings something to TV that few others currently do: an obsessive dedication to style. (In keeping with that commitment—as well as the show's clouds of cigarette smoke, emanating from corporate warriors and pregnant women alike—the DVDs are packaged in an imitation Zippo lighter, which opens to reveal the red "flame" of individual discs.) The bottom line: There are enough torpedo-shaped brassieres, towering mai tais, and waistcoats here to sustain a gentleman of the oughts for weeks—or at least until the show returns on July 27.
