PREP THE SCOTCH - 'MAD MEN' IS BACK

Our favorite show last season was "Mad Men." AMC recently announced that the show's second season will debut on Sunday, July 27, at 10 p.m., a new timeslot. Expect to see the DVD for "Mad Men" season one on July 1. It will also be available On Demand in both standard and high-def versions on June 30. What's more, you can check out an all-day marathon starting at noon Eastern on July 20.




For those under a rock, "Mad Men" was created by "The Sopranos" writer and executive producer Matthew Weiner, it's set in 1960 at the fictional Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency on Madison Avenue (hence the title) and centers on a high-level advertising executive and the people in his life in and out of the office.

Interestingly, it also depicts some of the social mores of late 1950s America that were soon to change. It debuted on July 19, 2007, and was given an initial production of 13 episodes. After the airing of the pilot, the series received critical praise for its historical accuracy and visual style.
