Mad Men

Matthew Weiner ran a writers' room that was seven women out of nine by season three, and enforced a period-accuracy rule: no character could reference a song, ad, or news event before its actual broadcast date. Jon Hamm plays Don Draper, an advertising creative director living under another man's name. Elisabeth Moss is Peggy Olson, who arrives as a secretary in 1960. Ninety-two episodes ending in 1970.
