A few weeks ago, just after I jumped vigorously onto the Mad Men bandwagon, I emailed the press contact for the show at AMC. I told her that I loved Mad Men, that I ran a blog that reached a few thousand people a day, and that I'd love to help promote the show. I was hoping that at best she'd send a t-shirt or some DVDs that I could give away on the site and at worst that I'd be included on some sort of media distribution list. Well, I got neither. The woman never emailed me back. Boo.
But just because AMC gave me the cold shoulder doesn't mean I'm not gonna stop my mission to convert as many people as possible to Mad Men. And furthermore, they can't keep me away from the free stuff. Case in point, check out this sweet Mad Men USB flash drive. Apparently, AMC was giving them away like candy at the recent Television Critics Association tour here in Los Angeles. My friend snagged one for me, which was awesome because I actually really needed a flash drive — and the fact that it was Mad Men-branded made it all the better. So I guess all's well that ends well.
Nevertheless, the new season starts Sunday at 10 PM EST on AMC.

B--do you really have several thousand readers daily or is it like 30 or 40 of us who are trying to avoid work and check in dozens of times each day?
I'm stoked for the return of Mad Men as well. It took me a couple of episodes to get into it, but now I'm hooked.
I'm sorry B
but at first glance it looks like youre holding up a pregnancy test. LOL
"B-Side, when it comes to free Man Men schawg...YOU ARE the father!"
Love, love, love Mad Men.
I have a wonderful Mad Men cocktail shaker, that I will use to make my martini for Sunday night's show. Yes, it's a lovely shaker with the show's name on it! Please let you be jealous. :)
mmmmmm..MadMen
Practically all the people on the show are the hotness.
I have been waiting for this show to come back on since I finished watching all the episodes on-demand last week.
I yapped about it so much at work I have a co-worker mad at me for supposedly making her start smoking delicious cigarettes again. Seriously, how is that my fault?
You could give away your Mad Men flash drive - fill it up with all your recaps - Winner!
hb - one of the thousands here daily.
Believe it or not, dsc805, I've actually had 20,000 unique visitors come to the site since Monday.
HINT HINT, AMC.

Very fun! Congratulations B-Side.
Me, I only check every 15 minutes or so. I have access to other computers, would it help you if I checked from them? Geez, I am so glad I don't have a real job; one with actual work.
MadMen is a fantastic show, been a fan from the start.
You have succeeded in recruiting me to the Mad Men bandwagon! It's available On Demand and I have been watching them fervently to catch up before Sunday. I don't think I'm going to make it but hopefully the new episodes will be available On Demand too until I'm caught up.
I was being facetious, but that's great. Congratulations.
"20,000 unique visitors" - yep, that describes the demographic accurately.
If I were in the ad biz I'd use this site.

*sigh* I guess I have to start watching this show now....
And this site is so awesome, I'd like to do to it what Ollie did to April.
