Multimedia Mad Men

We're closing in on the end of Season Three of Mad Men on Netflix, with only three or four episodes to go. I was already starting to worry about how we'd see the fourth season in time to join the show when it launched its fifth season later this year, when Vicki happened to mention that she might have most of Season Four on her Tivo box upstairs. A quick comparison of the episode guide against what she has recorded showed that, sure enough, she has them all! So there goes the problem of catching up!

This means that, by the time we begin watching the next season of Mad Men, we'll have watched the show via four different media:
  1. DVD - Season One
  2. Video streaming (Netflix) - Seasons Two and Three
  3. PVR recording (Tivo) - Season Four
  4. Live TV broadcast - Season Five
That's a lot of different ways to watch Don Draper screw around on his lovely wife, Betty! Ain't the 21st century something?!

Enjoy the finally of season 3. It's great! I'm jealous that you have quick access to season 4. I'm still not sure how I'm going to watch it. Maybe rent the DVDs. I might consider purchasing it on iTunes if they have it.
