Hoarders, Wife Swap, the Office, & the International Sexy Ladies Show. When nothing else is on, we're watching DVD/reruns of Newhart, Dark Shadows and Battlestar Galactica.
Mad Men, like Weeds, et al, is a tad too morally ambivalent for us to be able to engage with the characters.

Dexter and Californication are starting new seasons on Sept 27th !
That's what I'll be watching. Besides that, the Closer.

Nurse Jackie, Penn & Teller: Bullsh*t, Entourage, True Blood, and..Hung. No, Hung is nowhere near as dirty as the premise sounds. \
(shouldn't this be in Bilge?)

My wife watches madmen. Kind of a soap for the sixties cocktail crowd. Its kind of a show for the ladies ...I guess. But nonetheless making cocktails and the styles of dress hip again.
OH yeah I did hear them play Misirlou by Martin Denny on an episode. Thats when I got interested.

Mick9, Madmen has some of the very best writing of any show right now, the characters are multilayered, flawed & real, the production staff has done a great job of recreating the era, It was a time I was alive for and shows just how much society has changed over the years.
Also I have been getting a kick out of Rescue Me, True Blood, am Waiting for Dexter, I miss Battlestar Galactica.

The wife and I decided to cancel cable, but I did buy season one and two of Madmen. That show is awesome!
Love the clothing, style, furniture and characters. Wish they showed more cars! Anyone know where to find men's suits like Don Draper wears?

The only 'new' show I have been watching is the 'Big Bang Theory'.
Other than that, I love when the Honeymooners come on WGN (usually Sunday nights, or after a Cubs game). They have been showing some of the lost episodes, which ran on the the Jackie Gleason show prior to the stand alone Classic 39 episodes, so that is cool.
P.S. Pumped for football season, even though my team is going to suck wind this year. Go Bucs anyway!

Top 3 right now:
Mad Men
True Blood
Robot Chicken
Just getting into/discovering/catching up on:
Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations
Desperate Housewives
Rescue Me
Whale Wars
Waiting for:
Dexter
Sarah Silverman Show (if it returns)
Venture Bros.
No TV (fer like twelve years), so it's all DVDs and, um... well there's some mysterious way the shows appear on the PC's hard-drive. I ask my roommate about it & we're just baffled... Computer-gremlins, probably...

I know some of the clothes are found in vintage shops in the Pasadena area as is most of the Furniture & lamps etc.
there was a good article in the L.A. Times a few weeks ago about it.
I missed one show I enjoy very much is the Venture Brothers on Adult Swim.
