So apparently there will not be any episodes of Mad Men this summer. I am aware that not everyone watches the show, and I am not really sure why I do either...The women are for the most part passive and the all the men are drunks. Yet there is something about the show that when you watch an entire season you get completely sucked in and you don't realize that you have just sat through twelve hours of television, because they are not one episode after another but a complete story that you as the viewer also get involved in.
Yet this whole situation is just turing into a he said/(s)he said. AMC is blaming the delay on the show's creator Matthew Weiner. He is blaming it on disputes between AMC and Lionsgate. Weiner is objecting to AMC wanting to get rid of two characters and even shortening the episode time just to save a little bit of money. Also Lionsgate and AMC are arguing about who will get more money from each episode.
I am aware that this is the way Hollywood works, people want money, and they will stop all production until they get what they want. We as the viewer or as fans of the show might not appreciate this or like it all, but there is nothing that can happen until they figure out what they are doing with the show. If you like the show then you will probably agree, it sucks that we might not see new episodes until 2012...BOO!
