Believe me, I'm not that wedded to anything I say. Takes more energy than I have right now to be that way. Not being defensive. Believe me, I'm not that wedded to anything I say.

Some of us are simply tired of Mad Men's constant attaboying over how anal retentive they are to details when they make huge mistakes like that. It makes the mistakes stand out even worse.

If Weiner’s contract isn’t renewed, does that also signal the end of Janie Bryant, David Carbonara, Dan Bishop and some of the others who’ve done so much to make MM what it is?

I thought the main point of that quote was to stress how important Matthew Weiner is to the production. At least, that was my intent in publishing it, and it's why I included the YouTube link to Heat Wave's song, "No Half-Steppin'" -- as, you know, a nudge to the folks at Lionsgate. Oh well, I'm mistaken again. But it did get me to thinking about some of the other behind the scenes folks on the show. We know the cast has been re-signed, and negotiations are "on-going" for Weiner, but what if that fizzles? Typically, the producer hires his crew -- brings in his or her own people. If Weiner's contract isn't renewed, does that also signal the end of Janie Bryant, David Carbonara, Dan Bishop and some of the others who've done so much to make MM what it is? I mean, sure, if there's a new producer, there's nothing stopping that person from hiring those folks, but often they want to work with their own people. I wonder if Hornbacher, Lisa Albert, or the Jacquemettons have been signed on as well. Ugh. I shudder to think of the show without any of those people... See?
