There is chatter that "Mad Men" will not be renewed for Season 5. Come again?! Well, of course, the root of a deal not being reached between show creator Matt Weiner and AMC is money.
The Daily reports it has nothing to do with Weiner's contract; the two sides were close to agreeing on a two year, $30 million deal for the mind behind the acclaimed period drama. But other area's need to be better budgeted...there is also talk of two undisclosed actors being 'let go' to cut costs. Weiner said, "It would be heartbreaking for me if they don't work it out, horrifying really. It would be a shame for fans to never get to see what great stuff we have planned for Don and company." Yeah! What stuff?! Come on! Don't can Mad Men, please. There are things I must know about Sterling, Cooper, Draper, Price...and Joan.
