Matthew Weiner

I am fascinated by the writing in this show as I was in advertising at this time. Because many clients didn't believe a female could understand industrial trade data, the male artist often pretended to be me and I pretended to be the artist, rather than the copywriter that I was. Watching the show brings back so many memories. Is there a bio of Mr. Weiner available? What an amazing team you have. Looking forward to August!

I think this link may have been posted to the blog in some past thread(s),...not sure....but, it's a good article about Matt W. from Fall 2008 in Variety's "Season Pass":

Some of the Maddicts even posted fave episodes in the "Comments" below it!

Thanks so much for these links - it is fascinating reading and seeing everything from Matt Weiner's perspective. These articles were from last fall and still I came away with insights into what might happen in Season 3.

As much as I rail at AMC for their lousy scheduling of this show, when I think that, if not for AMC's taking a chance on this series, there would be no Mad Men, I am so grateful to them.
