Shirlee -

I agree - They have left no stone unturned to keep it accurate.

I also remember how females were treated then as the show presents so well.....when I was promoted, I was still treated as a "secretary" and it took a while to be let in the "boys club".
Also all the hanky panky that went on, everyone smoked in the office, execs had bars in their offices and the martini lunches!!! The Christmas parties got so out of hand, they had to discontinue them!

TV ads were produced in our headquarters (in VA) most of the time in one of our large conference rooms. A one-minute national ad was about $50,000 which seemed outrageous at the time. My gosh, advertising has come a long way.
