Lists that celebrate and rank AMC's hit series (2007-2015) that follows Don Draper through the high-stakes world of 1960s advertising on New York's Madison Avenue.

Mad Men

Mad Men&nbsp;premiered on AMC on July 19, 2007. By the time the series finale aired&nbsp;on&nbsp;May 17, 2015, viewers&nbsp;had watched the staff of Sterling Cooper grapple with&nbsp;the entire decade of the &#39;60s and the changes it brought. From fashion to relationships to the Hare Krishna movement, the characters of Mad Men went through some serious transformations.

Just like their characters, the cast of&nbsp;Mad Men&nbsp;aged and changed throughout the series as well. &nbsp;Even the great Jon Hamm couldn&#39;t&nbsp;escape the effects&nbsp;- although he does a pretty good job of retaining that swoon-worthy debonair air right until the end of the series. So how did the cast of Mad Men age over the course of the series? These then-and-now photos show it all. Once you&#39;ve taken a walk down Memory Lane, make sure to check out these <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-to-watch-if-you-love-mad-men/watchworthy" target="_blank">other shows like&nbsp;</a><a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-to-watch-if-you-love-mad-men/watchworthy" target="_blank">Mad Men</a>.

How The Cast Of 'Mad Men' Aged From The First To Last Season

Nostalgic TV

We watched the cast of Friends cry, laugh, drink a ton of coffee,&nbsp;and go through a lot&nbsp;(both on&nbsp;and off&nbsp;screen) over their 10 seasons on air. The show started in 1994 and spanned the rest of the decade&nbsp;all the way into the early 2000s. Just as fashion and culture and society as a whole changed over the course of that time, so did the cast of Friends.&nbsp;

Do you remember what they all looked like&nbsp;during season one? From terrible hair (sorry Joey) to awesome hair (Rachel, every single season), and sort of nerdy (<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/annoying-ross-geller-moments-from-friends/rory-arnold" target="_blank">Ross</a>) to slightly less nerdy (Ross, again), we watched the characters on&nbsp;Friends grow from young to old to,&nbsp;well,&nbsp;&quot;older.&quot;

In real life, the cast members grew and changed too.&nbsp;Some&nbsp;got married and Botox&#39;d (Courteney Cox), took up yoga&nbsp;(Jennifer Aniston), had babies (Lisa Kudrow), and worked through&nbsp;addiction issues (Matthew Perry).&nbsp;Since so many of us grew up with Friends and progressed in our own lives as the series was on air, we thought it&#39;d be fun to look at how the&nbsp;Friends actors aged from the first to the last season.&nbsp;Check out&nbsp;this list and tell us who you think changed the most.

Here's What The Random Boyfriends From 'Friends' Are Up To Now

The Boyfriend Guest Stars From 'Friends' That Went On To Success

Henry Adams

The O.C.

The Fox drama The O.C.&nbsp;premiered on August 5, 2003, and when it did, it not only got Phantom Planet's song &quot;California&quot; permanently&nbsp;stuck in our heads, but it also&nbsp;gave us a look into the lavish&nbsp;mansions and lifestyles of Newport Beach, CA. In such an insular, cliquish society, it's not much of a surprise that everyone always looked damn good - and hardly appeared to age.&nbsp;Though the show only aired four seasons, the characters went through a number of ups and downs - from jail to&nbsp;alcohol addiction, death, pregnancies (yes, plural), and marriage - all without ever seeming to age&nbsp;much at all.&nbsp;The O.C. taught us about family, friendship, Chrismukkah, Death Cab for Cutie, and what it means to be young and rich.&nbsp;In the world of Newport Beach, where&nbsp;Botox is a-plenty,&nbsp;it makes sense that the characters from&nbsp;The O.C. hardly aged from Season 1 through Season 4. But looking the same for several years&nbsp;can be tough for an actor. So take a look at these before-and-after photos of your favorite O.C. cast members, and see how well they maintained their character's look over four long years.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Viewers weren&#39;t exactly sure what they were watching when It&#39;s Always Sunny in Philadelphia aired its first season in 2005. Since it&#39;s debut, the show has bucked all trends when it comes to TV sitcoms - even when it comes to episode titles (the show&#39;s first episode is titled &quot;The Gang Gets Racist&quot;). But what started as <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/tv-guide_s-top-30-cult-shows">a cult TV show</a> with a tiny viewership has grown into one of the most loved TV series of all time that has been on air for 11&nbsp;seasons and counting.&nbsp;

Considering that It&#39;s Always Sunny has been on for 11&nbsp;years, we&#39;ve watched much of the cast grow from young 20-somethings to 30- and 40-somethings. Now we&#39;re taking a look back at what our favorite characters looked like in season one vs. what they look like at this point in the show. Why? Because it&#39;s fun! It&#39;s crazy to look at some of these side-by-side pictures and remember that there is an 11&nbsp;year gap between them.

Fans have watched the cast of It&#39;s Always Sunny age throughout the show - from Mac&#39;s weight gain and weight loss to The Waitress&#39;s hair color change, to the real life actors all seemingly marrying each other (Day and Ellis are <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-surprising-hollywood-marriages/celebrity-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">married to each other</a>, as are Olson and McElhenney).&nbsp;

It&#39;s time to check out how the cast of It&#39;s Always Sunny&nbsp;aged throughout the seasons - from first gang group date to last.&nbsp;

Well, perhaps enjoy is not the right word, as the actor looked absolutely miserable at the time.

In other words, despite the pleasure that spectators get from watching two good-looking actors lock lips on-screen, it&rsquo;s usually an awkward experience for everyone involved.

Sometimes, however, there are bursts of passion. Of course, other times, movies and TV kisses are memorable for all the wrong reasons - like when 15-year-old Millie Bobby Brown had her very first kiss&nbsp;on camera with a full crew and her parents watching!

17 Famous Actors Talk About Their Most Memorable On-Screen Kisses

Famous Actors Talk About Their Most Memorable On-Screen Kisses

Ann Casano

Keanu Reeves is not an&nbsp;easily definable actor, as he has appeared in virtually every cinematic genre. Some of his films -&nbsp;like Speed&nbsp;and The Matrix -&nbsp;have been massive hits, but he&#39;s also starred in celebrated indie releases like My Own Private Idaho. When you look over his filmography, it&#39;s hard not to be impressed by his diversity.&nbsp;

Reeves&nbsp;kicked off his screen career with&nbsp;a short-lived job as a reporter for a Canadian kids&#39;&nbsp;news program called Going Great. After moving to California, he booked a few commercials - including one&nbsp;for Coca-Cola - before landing his first significant movie gig in the 1986 Rob Lowe hockey drama Youngblood. After that, the film roles just kept on coming.&nbsp;

Because Reeves is&nbsp;so good at playing characters who are not very bright, many people have unfairly assumed his on-screen ineptitude is more than just an act. However, in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/stories-about-meeting-keanu-reeves/anncasano" target="_blank">real life Reeves</a>&nbsp;is both an intelligent performer&nbsp;and intuitive&nbsp;human being. More importantly, his acting chops have only gotten better over the years. The best <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/keanu-reeves-movies-and-films-and-filmography/reference" target="_blank">Keanu Reeves roles</a> prove beyond a doubt he&#39;s a massively underrated actor whose talent shouldn&#39;t be dismissed.&nbsp;

Venturing into the labyrinth of the Joker's history, countless actors have donned the wide grin and signature cackle synonymous with the character.

He skillfully stripped away the veneer of sanity, revealing the terrifying embodiment of anarchy beneath.

Becoming a movie star is a strange, mysterious process, achieved through equal parts talent,&nbsp;luck,&nbsp;and hard work.
