Ten years ago, Mad Men ended after seven seasons. It was my favorite TV show for years, and while I prefer the earlier seasons, the quality of the show did not drop off (in retrospect). The storylines were realistic, the characters were nuanced and it was all so well-written. Well, to celebrate/commemorate a decade since the end of Mad Men , the ATX Festival invited Jon Hamm and John Slattery to a forum to talk about the show and how it changed their lives. It would have been great to see Elisabeth Moss and Christina Hendricks there too, but maybe they were busy. Hamm and Slattery ended up revealing some of the tricks with all of the “cigarettes” they had to smoke and all of the “cocktails” they had to drink on-camera.
