This has seriously put a dampener on my day!
Hit show 'Mad Men' has announced that they won't be returning to our screens until "early 2012". The series about the Advertising Industry in the 1950's on Madison Avenue has been undergoing "discussions" with channel company AMC for the last few months.
According to sources, AMC, ironically enough, want more advertising in the show, including product placement. However the show's creator Matthew Weiner has refused to allow product placement. It has also been reported that AMC want Weiner to let go two of the cast members for financial reasons, another request Matthew has declined.
Today AMC has said the show is to go ahead, but it will be another while yet:
"AMC has officially authorised production of season five of Mad Men, triggering our option with Lionsgate. While we are getting a later start than in years past due to ongoing, key non-cast negotiations, Mad Men will be back for a fifth season in early 2012."
The show is so amazing by itself, I really don't believe that they need product placement or more advertising at all. Plus the cast are amazing. Let's hope they don't let anyone go.
