Dude that ate the drugs in 'Super Troopers' marries Christina Hendricks...
I don't watch TV, but she can suck my ass any day of the week.

I thought we're trying to have a serious discussion? It says serious in the thread title!- Al. B. Sure
Mad Men is the hottest show on television and Christina Hendricks’ plastic surgery enhanced body could most certainly be one of the reasons.
At the recent Emmy awards, Christina Hendricks walked the red carpet in a plunging green dress that showed off the 30-year old’s possible breast implants. Like many watching, Make Me Heal wondered if the buxom beauty’s cleavage was natural or if she had undergone a breast augmentation. (See Make Me Heal’s story on the 2008 Emmys’ plastic surgery).
Christina is certainly curvy enough that her breasts could be her own. But they have a distinct roundness that seems like they could just as easily be the results of implants that help enhance her breasts.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Jennifer Walden agrees with Make Me Heal’s summation about the natural and unnatural appearance of Christina’s chest, saying:
“Christina Hendricks is no doubt an attractive, voluptuous woman with naturally large breasts. But, upon review of the photos, I believe she may have enhanced her breasts given that she has a few characteristics of someone with implants–for example, when she wears a dress with a push-up bra or bustier in it, there is a distinct border between the breast and the chest wall– that delineation, or “shelf”-like appearance generally occurs in women with implants that are being displaced upwards against gravity. The prosthetic makes this border sharper in women who have undergone breast augmentation.”
Also, the lack of space between her breasts is another positive indicator of Christina having undergone a breast augmentation. As Dr. Walden notes,
“Secondly, the space between the breasts is so minimal to nonexistent that her cleavage looks reminiscent of a woman who has undergone the procedure. In any case she has a curvy figure that I am quite sure is the subject of many men’s thoughts!”
I actually have no idea who either of these douches are.

Oh, she's a chick from Mad Men? The secretary? ahhh, now I recognize her.
She looks different when she doesn't look like a 60s secretary.

There seems to be a radical split in opinion over Mad Men. My wife agrees with you, and even called it a soap opera independently. Personally, I think that the characters are detailed, human and realistic. The plot arcs change how the characters behave as time goes on. Yes, the focus is on relationships between people instead of a struggle between people and an external force (say, criminals as in a police show), but in my opinion this type of storytelling is done well, and does not lead down to navel-gazing masturbatoriness as in soaps.
Some of (I'd say most) of the best drama series are focused on the relationship between people.

Yes, even those shows with a unifying focus as I characterized them earlier should be attempting to tell a story about character and relationships. The difficulty is that without the external focal point you often sink into navel-gazing vacuousness. However, with MM:
1) Vacuousness is a major theme of the show, esp. as regards Betty Draper. See, for example, her recent dabble into local politics which SHOULD provide external structure but which instead serves solely as a means to satisfy her own attention-whoredness. Or Don's self-aware pursuit of pleasure while constantly feeling the disapproval of his past self, friends and family
2) Again, when plot developments have lasting consequences on the characters, there is a buffer against meaningless twists etc.
