I am watching Mad Men on Netflix

3. I entered the workforce in 1965,

and I'd say the series is very accurate. I almost never worked in any kind of an office, and I wasn't anywhere near NYC, but the show has an aura of verisimilitude that can't be faked. I do recall they got something a little wrong a season or two ago, but since it doesn't come readily to mind, it would have been something in the details, not anything really crucial to the story line.

One thing they are NOT getting right is how much older all these people should be looking, given that they were all smoking all the time. Smoking is very aging, along with other not very nice things. Joanie, especially, should be looking a good ten to fifteen years older than she does.
