"Mad Men" was one of my all time favorite TV shows particularly because of all the period cultural references. Being set in New York, the characters sometimes made reference to then Broadway hits. I would have loved to see Don or Pete offer tickets to "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" to a client. The only thing better would have been for Bert Cooper to dismiss the show or its lead as disappointing. I suppose that would have been too obvious of an inside joke.
