Say What?

"Time for another drink, at least."

I'm a little behind on news, clearly. I read, somewhere, briefly, that Mad Men had been renewed for more than one series. I didn't really give it much thought beyond "good".


What I didn't read though, was that season 5 will not be airing until 2012. Really. Apparently, Weiner and AMC are having a bit of a tiff about whose turn it is to make dinner and this has delayed negotiations on his eight trillion dollar deal.


Actually, that isn't true - Weiner is standing up for not reducing show time, not adding product placements, and not cutting cast members. Basically, he's trying to keep Mad Men not shit. Which is commendable. But can he do it a bit quicker? I have trouble remembering what happened last week, let alone last season.
