Mad Men alums Christina Hendricks and John Slattery are joining Matthew Weiner’s project at Amazon Studios, The Romanoffs, which is about Romanoffs. But it is somehow not lavish, expensively produced costume porn.
On the penultimate episode of Mad Men, viewers were shocked by a Betty Draper curveball, that, as far as I can tell by trolling dozens of unhinged messages boards online, very few viewers saw coming. But, in retrospect, Matthew Weiner, brilliant former Sopranos scribe, Mad Men creator, and mild sadist had been giving…
Continuing their history of torturing the fans who love Mad Men most, Matthew Weiner and AMC have decided to split the final season of Mad Men in two, airing seven episodes in 2014 and seven episodes in 2015. Yes, that means you'll have to wait almost TWO FULL YEARS to see how the show ends.
Ugh, Betty Draper! Who are you, you enigmatic puzzle box of a TV character? Are you a scorned harridan who’s trying to undermine her loutish ex-husband’s marriage to a younger, thinner woman, or are you merely a superficial woman who regrets being so mean to her only daughter and taking a second husband who, for all…
Mad Men's Betty Draper has never been a very sympathetic character. While we're able to forgive many of Don's transgressions, it's harder to come to terms with Betty's because she's such a charmless, immature, seemingly slight woman of that time.
Mad Men devotees everywhere, rejoice — the pun-tastic Matthew Weiner will reward your anticipation tonight with a two-hour season premiere of the show that introduced us to the man-quicksand that is Jon Hamm's stubbled face.

In an interview yesterday with the New York Times, Mad Men mastermind Matthew Weiner talked all about the show's much-anticipated 5th season, including how terrifyingly close it came to never happening. Faced with an interminable negotiation process, Weiner says he wanted to quit the show faster than a kid who's been…
The New York Times Magazine offered a peek into Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner's L.A. home, which unsurprisingly has a retro feel (though it's more '30s than '60s and there isn't a fainting couch in sight). But of course, some bits of the show have seeped into his real life. Weiner is a fan of whiskey, and like many…
Matthew Weiner remains tight-lipped about season four in this new interview, but he does reveal there's an "image in my mind... about where Don is when this thing ends." So the series ends with a close-up on Don's eye?! [TVGuide]
