Hamming It Up With “Mad Men’s” Pilot Episode Script (Downloadable)

Mad Men Title Card“Mad Men” premiered on July 19, 2007 and is one of those shows that you either love or bored to death by.  It’s not an action show or a comedy.  It’s a slow moving drama.  A period piece.  Basically a soap opera.  But not the kind of soap opera that spawns evil twins or visits that amnesia well.  It’s based in reality and portrays real people with real problems.  And since it’s based in the 60’s, it presents us with a bit of a history lesson on what those times looked liked and the struggles people had to endure when things were a bit more repressed (and smoked a whole lot more).
