Encyclopedic overview
Mad Men is an American period drama television series created by Matthew Weiner for AMC. It ran from July 19, 2007 until May 17, 2015, with seven seasons and 92 episodes. The series title is allegedly borrowed from the phrase advertisers working on Madison Avenue used to refer to themselves, although the only documented use of the phrase may derive from the late-1950s work of James Kelly, an advertising executive and writer.
Set between March 1960 and November 1970, Mad Men follows Don Draper (Jon Hamm), a senior executive and creative director at Sterling Cooper, a Manhattan-based advertising agency. Other primary characters include Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss), Don's secretary; Pete Campbell (Vincent Kartheiser), a mid-level executive at Sterling Cooper; Joan Holloway (Christina Hendricks), the agency's office manager; Roger Sterling (John Slattery), the agency's name partner; Betty Draper (January Jones), Don's wife; and in later seasons, Sally Draper (Kiernan Shipka), Don's oldest child. As the series progresses, it depicts the changing moods and social mores of the United States throughout the 1960s and early 1970s.
