Explore The Golden Age Of Advertising With Mad Men: Season 6 On Blu-ray This November

August 20th, 2013 by Aaron Neuwirth

This past season of Mad Men continued to live on the fact that these characters are established well enough that we can just let them run wild in the 60s. The previous season may have been a tad better, but I love Mad Men and the series continues to be fantastic all around. Much to the irritation of others, people watching the series week after week would be posting non-stop about the show, with questions like “Who is Bob Benson” cluttering up news feeds. On November 5th, anyone will be able to find out about this Bob Benson character and more with the entire 6th season on Blu-ray, packed with extra features and what I assume are amazing looking discs to really show off the series’ production values. Read on to learn more about what is happening with Don Draper and the gang on this upcoming Blu-ray set.

Mad Men: Season 6

Featuring the most watched episode in series history, Mad Men: Season 6 arrives on Blu-ray Disc, DVD and Digital Download November 5 from Lionsgate Home Entertainment.

Returning for its sixth season, Mad Men, rife with possibilities, explores the glamorous and ego-driven “Golden Age” of advertising in the late 1960’s New York City. Don Draper (Hamm) and the rest of the award-winning cast continue to captivate as they deal with the aftereffects of adultery, divorce, a merger and an ever changing social climate.
