Comments
I had not heard the good news about "Mad Men." It is my favorite show and thank you for breaking this news for me. I didn't know that it won Academy Awards. I thought it won Emmys. I am trying to get my husband to watch this show, but it is too advanced for him. He only likes shows with helmets and beer commercials.
well, i haven't checked but it might have won some music soundtrack awards...Helmets and beer are great but I'm sure he'll enjoy this too! Thanks for reading!
