After the season two finale of "Mad Men", we were left wondering, would the reunion with his wife and impeding arrival of another baby cure Don Draper of his infidelity? Well, it didn't take long to find out the answer to that question was a resounding no.

In the season three premiere of the AMC drama, Don was already wooing an engaged airline stewardess, luring her to his hotel bed by first pretending to be someone else, and then by telling her it was his birthday. Oh, Draper, you sly fox, you! Of course, the most interesting elements of "Mad Men" for me are not the who, when, and wheres of how Don will cheat on his wife, but rather the cutthroat office politics of the 1960s advertising biz.

Last season, we saw Don's firm absorbed by a larger British company, with Draper threatening to walk out the door. He's still there, but other coworkers are being shown that same door due to company layoffs. Perhaps poor, beleaguered Pete Campbell, played brilliantly by Vincent Kartheiser, got it worst of all. Pete thought he was getting promoted to manager of accounts, only to find out the next day that he was being pitted against Ken Cosgrove for the job. Just another in a series of setbacks for the ambitious, yet ultimately sad sack Campbell.

The "Mad Men" story remains matched by the show's style and sophistication. We're looking at a bygone era, with a cultural revolution waiting just around the corner. Occasionally, we get glimpses of that revolution, signs of its impeding approach, but the characters for the most part remain oblivious as to how the world is beginning to change around them. Personally, I can't wait until Don Draper starts busting out sideburns and a leisure suit, but until that time, we'll just have to be content with what we have. And that's a first rate drama across the board. Don may still cheat on wife Betty, but I'll remain faithful to "Mad Men."
