In almost every episode, they do something that will smack you in the face and make you realize how different things were back then. You might see a pregnant woman smoking and drinking, or guys drinking during a business meeting in the middle of the day.

There's one episode where Pete gets a rifle as a gift -- right in the office. He looks down the sight at various people(some of them women), and they just smile and laugh at the whole thing, like its nothing. It's very clear that everyone thinks its cute, and non-threatening. Can you picture that happening today somewhere in America?

Anyway, it just seems like they make conscious decisions to create scenes like this, and its obvious what they're aiming to do. I love that shit.
