Every Mad Men fan knows that there are contract disputes between the network and the show’s creator, Matthew Weiner. Apparently these disputes have caused the show to be delayed all the way until early next year. Something I usually do after I take my pre workout supplement with my workouts...lol
AMC, which has showcased “Mad Men” for the last four summers and has benefited mightily from it, has offered Mr. Weiner a three-season deal that would be worth $30 million, according to people with knowledge of the negotiations. But Mr. Weiner is bristling at the channel’s proposal to shorten each episode by two minutes (to add commercial time) and to cut the cast budget (to save money). He says the changes would fundamentally make “Mad Men” a “different show.”
Yeah...for it basically being their cornerstone show he can demand whatever he wants. This show more or less put AMC on the map as THE cable channel for hot dramas in recent years.
