"They were clearly trying to go after a "Mad Men" thing, but with, I suspect, only the faintest superficial glimmer of an idea of what "Mad Men" is actually ABOUT."

I didn't see any of the episodes that aired--didn't seem particularly interesting to me--but I'm guessing you're right in this assessment. There are so many great shows on cable (both free and premium cable) and the networks just haven't caught up. (At least with respect to the one-hour drama; there're still some good comedies on network TV.)
