Gene Simmons mad for 'Men'

Kiss rocker talks about his favorite TV show.

When he isn't rocking all night with Kiss (as he'll do Saturday at the Minnesota State Fair), Gene Simmons is the star of the A&E reality series "Gene Simmons Family Jewels." His second favorite TV show of the moment is, like Kiss, a period piece.

JON BREAM

"I'm a big fan of 'Mad Men.' It's a very difficult show to do because it's a period piece. It's politically incorrect because women are viewed as sexual objects, the way they were in the '50s. It's just well-written, well-acted."
