What is with the Jewish angle?
The first episode of MM was annoying. Too Curb Your Enthusiasm complete seasons dvd over the top, too much like some 21 year old kid imagining what life must have been like back in the bad old '60s. Yeah, everybody smoked all the time, and the men treated the women Nikita 1-5 boxset series like crap, and the women loved it. And we have to make some Jewish jokes while we're at it because, well, because the writer is Jewish. Doesn't really have anything to do with Charmed collection series the story.But by episode 5 or 6 it was getting better. You have to go with it and figure okay, so we are watching a stereotype of sorts about life in Manhattan in the '60s. But then we have another show with Jews and Eureka season boxset the Holocaust, yes, stuffed into it from left field, right square in the middle. An Israeli DeadWood 1-3 set dvd client wants to have Gilmore Girls 1-7 set seasons an ad campaign for the "Israeli Riviera" (fine, no problem with that although it is a bit odd, but okay...) and the next thing you know Draper is looking at real pictures of holocaust victims in a pile most likely in one of the concentration camps. In other words, the television viewer sees these photos through his eyes. Why? Why couldn't this Leverage seasons for sale show have been written by a Jew without having "our story" stuck in there? We The Tudors 1-4 set season know what happened in WWII by now. We won't forget. Please stop reminding us already. America doesn't know anything about how its own Charmed box set seasons history is one big genocidal stain, Eureka collection boxset doesn't realise that millions of native Americans were butchered in North, Central and South America long before Hitler, but American television of course doesn't care about that. What happened to the "Indians" in America? We inhabited an inhabited land. Pushed them into the driest, most miserable corners. Slaughtered them at will. Gave them blankets infected with diseases we knew would wipe them out by the hundreds. Custer and his American heroes captured native American women and forced them into prostitution. And it gets worse.But there are no native Americans writing Hollywood movies or television series' are there?If it made sense, fine. Write about Jews if they are actually part of the show. Here, they are not. No major character is Jewish. So what's the deal?I am sure Gossip Girl 1-3 series set I will be called an anti-Semite by someone without a brain before the Everybody Loves Raymond dvd season 1-9 ink is dry... Truely the 24 hours 1-8dvd series best show on TV. You get to experience a trip back 48 years. A time where people still had fun, drinking at work, smoking all the time, dipping into the secretarial pool. True quality in every detail The Office 1-6 series set from office settings, home furnishings, to clothing CSI:NY series dvd styles. You can't be dissapointed with this show! The acting from all the cast is fantastic and I especially enjoy seeing the mighty attractive characters (Betty & Joan)! The show can transport me back to a time in the country I never experienced but wish I did. It is a true Macgyver all seasons on dvd boxset pleasure to watch these characters portray real people from that time period. Those who didn't always take life so serious (some of them anyway), could laugh and not have to worry about offending someone, drink and smoke and Macgyver complete seasons on dvd no one tried to make them feel like a criminal. Ahh, when a tv show can make you feel like you were there, that says it all. About 2.3 stars for this. A few episodes in the middle (Babylon, The Hobo Code) were quite good as the burgeoning counterculture crept in, but the first three you have to force yourself to watch Smallville store the same way as if you were standing guard or something, Weeds 1-5 series dvd and the last three weren't much better. We live in an Miami Vice complete series season age where the standards for television are higher than the standards Burn Notice season 1-3 box set for feature film are, and as such, I can't go along with all the rave reviews here. The pacing is off, the plot points seem a bit disorganized, and the acting leaves some MASH seasons dvd boxset to be desired. Go ahead and watch it though, after all.....it won an EMMY......lol In the main "Mad Men" is a very well-written, well-acted series saturated with deeper, existential questions. To be sure, it buy Gossip Girl season 1-3 on dvd is a refreshing escape for one in search of a solid, mature drama that need not resort to violence, profanity, or nudity to entertain "mature" audiences. The series is at its best when focusing on plot development Weeds boxset 1-5 seasons and nuanced, penetrating dialogue. The period filming is also enthralling - a true escape to 1960 from a cinematic and aesthetic perspective. The only 2 criticisms I would have are relatively minor but nonetheless detract from the show's overall quality. First, the show is selectively authentic and at times reduces itself MASH 1-11 episodes on dvd to political correctness. For example, though the dress and use of alcohol and tobacco are genuine and certainly period, the fascination with oppressed homosexual desires (no less than 3 main characters have been linked to some extent) and its relative importance in the show's culture seems to be a modern projection on a prior culture. There is also an ever-prevalent Supernatural dvd season 1-5 "look how oppressed these people are" sub-plot; in particular, the constant re-iteration of the oppressed status of women - who are generally miserable housewives or equally miserable objectified secretaries Ghost Whisperer dvd collection - can be stifling and overdone. Given the creator's (Matthew Weiner) political agenda and the climate of Hollywood, one can hardly be surprised. Nonetheless, it does detract from the Breaking Bad season series elegance and otherwise subtle messages of the show. Secondly, near the end of season 1 the show became a bit exaggerated and veered from the dialogue and plot strength that drove the first 5 episodes. "Mad Men" is at its best when focusing on plot development and thoughtful, subtle dialogue. The shows near the end of season 1 become somewhat of a caricature that detract from the strength of the show's initial balance and well-roundedness. Hopefully, season 2 will return to the show's core and relative strengths and will not fall into the purchase The Shield complete on dvd same trap that gripped the later seasons of Weiner's other dramas Family Guy complete 1-8 season (e.g., The Sopranos). Notwithstanding, "Mad Men" is a high quality drama worth watching and, relative to other dramas on TV, is in a class of its own. I received the product as advertised. Both disks and case in excellent condition. dvds Weeds Very pleased.
