I recently watched season 5 on BluRay and really enjoyed it. I felt it was above average for the show. I am continually impressed with the authentic details - like the tax stamp on the liquor bottles. The show is so succesfull at immersing us in an authentic looking atmosphere. (For nitpickers like myself, there are often small details that aren't quite right. For example I watched an episode from season 2 last night that finished up with Don in a Japanese restaurant. The year was supposedly 1961, and nicely had "Sukiyaki" (1963) on the soundtrack). My mom's house is from the same era and had some of the same details seen in the Draper home -- stove, oven, style of doors and wood trim, etc. Without revealing spoilers: The detail about Lane's car not starting was perfect. My dad had that car and said "it wouldn't start if there was a cloud in the sky".
