Improving upon its timeslot by 75%, AMC’s first ever original drama series Mad Men delivered a strong 1.4 household rating (more than 1.2 million homes) on Thursday night at 10:00 p.m.
It now ranks as the networks highest rated original series telecast ever.
Note: Because of Nielsen processing delays, full ratings data, including viewers and demos, have been delayed.
A little background on the series from the official site:
The series depicts the sexual exploits and social mores of this most innovative yet ruthless profession, while taking an unflinching look at the ad-men who shaped the hopes and dreams of Americans on a daily basis.
Mad Men airs Thursday nights at 10:00 p.m. 13 one-hour episodes have been ordered by the network.

Your Entertainment Now 
I was looking for a replacement for the Sopranos. I found it in Mad Men. I missed the first few episodes, but I find this series uncannily like the 60’s were, including the attitudes, the clothes worn, and the acting and scripts are outstanding. I especially find Jon Hamm to be one of the best looking and best acting men to come along in years. I see his background in acting is varied, and I have never seen him before but knew he was an accomplished actor. Whew! I can’t wait for Thursdays at 10. Any way I could get the first four episodes so I can record them? I have watched each episode three times. And, of yes, Jon Hamm is hot.
