Blergh. The Sopranos' 6th season had a total of 21 episodes (12 of which were in part 1, which basically could be seen as a whole season in itself), and at least Breaking Bad had 3 more episodes than it would've otherwise would've done. This leaves Mad Men with just one more episode. It pisses the fans off without any kind of conceivable artistic benefit. Blergh. I'd be disappointed to find out that this was Weiner's idea.
Still, I'm psyched about Towne joining the writing staff. That's seriously awesome.

So, will there be more episodes, just like with Breaking Bad?

So…How exactly does AMC "milk the money train" with this decision? I'm just curious. I can see Weiner and cast benefiting by having more time creatively…But what is the financial incentive if it is going to be the same amount of episodes, just split half in 2014 and the other half in 2015? Same amount of commercial time, no? Actually, AMC will have to shell out more now to promote TWO seasons essentially. Anyone care to explain?
