Season Four
03/27/11
“Welcome to a “mad” new world. The three-time Emmy® winner for Outstanding Drama Series and winner of three consecutive Golden Globes®, returns as Lionsgate releases MAD MEN: SEASON FOUR on DVD and Blu-ray Disc. From AMC and creator Matthew Weiner, executive producer and writer of “The Sopranos,” “Mad Men” is the ground-breaking series about the glamorous and ego-driven “Golden Age” of advertising. On the heels of a game-changing Season Four finale when Don Draper’s professional and personal lives unexpectedly imploded; season four continues to focus on Jon Hamm and the rest of the breakout ensemble as they grapple with an uncertain new reality and new possibilities. The New York Post hails the show as an “Outstanding example of what television storytelling can accomplish…MAD MEN is a drama for the ages.”
Recently nominated for 2011 Golden Globes® for Best Television Series – Drama, Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Drama (Elisabeth Moss) and Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Drama (John Hamm), “Mad Men” remains one of the most critically acclaimed series on television today. The Boston Globe praised, “the writing remains remarkable, as it toggles between the rhythms and clichés of 1950s movies and the timeless resonance of mid-20th-century theater. You rarely find such economical and evocative scripting on TV.”
MAD MEN: SEASON FOUR contains all 13 episodes of the season, which originally aired in Summer 2010, and is packed with hours of special features including extensive commentaries and innovative featurettes. The complete fourth season of “Mad Men” will arrive on DVD and Blu-ray in a limited edition, 3D lenticular package, on March 29th,
