Chicago, IL (CNS) -- "Mad Men" has just gotten its biggest endorser yet. Former U.S. President Bill Clinton has labeled the show as "great television" in an interview.

Clinton turns out to be an avid fan of the AMC drama, even naming the Jon Hamm-starrer series during an interview.

He told Chicago Sun-Times, "You ever watch that TV series 'Mad Men?' If I keep watching this program, will I ever find a happy person? Great television. Good drama. But a lot of really painful reminders in that show about how black people were supposed to run the elevators… were supposed to ask permission before they get on an elevator. The way women were treated is appalling, and only occasionally funny to me."

The Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning show is set in the '60s and centers on Don Draper (Hamm), a creative director at an advertising agency. The show has received critical acclaim for its historical authenticity, which includes depicting the changing social customs of America.

Elisabeth Moss, Vincent Kartheiser, January Jones, John Slattery, and Christina Hendricks also star.
