News of the Mad

It's been a while since I've mentioned Mad Men here, but FYI: the DVD and Blu-Ray sets for season four of Mad Men release one week from today, so you can still place a preorder if you're so inclined, or just buy it from a B&M store next week.

You may not have heard, but AMC is still negotiating a deal for the show's fifth season with its creator, Matthew Weiner, and production company. The latest reports say a two-year deal is close to being finalized, but they've been working on it for a couple of months now. What this means to you and me and other fans of the show is that it's very unlikely it will be back in production in time to air in its typical late-summer/fall time frame, so you should prepare for a longer wait for its return.
