I am – Hercules!!
ORIGINAL POST: The Television Critics Association press tour is underway, and “Mad Men” creator Matthew Weiner has outlined his long-term gameplan for the AMC flagship: * The series is designed to run five seasons. * The show will skip long periods of time between seasons. (Season one concluded in late 1960; season two, premiering July 27, picks up in early 1962.) * The series is expected to take the employees of Sterling Cooper (Draper Sterling Cooper?) at least to 1969. Which means we’ll probably see Don Draper switch to turtlenecks, drop acid and put the bone to a few damn dirty hippies! UPDATE: The Hollywood Reporter, which broke the story, added this Wednesday night:

Correction: The matter of setting an end date for AMC's critical darling "Mad Men," prompted by a quote by creator Matt Weiner at TCA about his "five-year plan" for "the life of the series," seemed clear when the story was published yesterday afternoon. From a lengthy exchange discussing Weiner's quote with AMC: "So to be clear, [Matthew Weiner] plans 5 seasons, covering 10 years, with jumps between each season." AMC: "Yes!" But AMC now says Weiner never meant to reveal a specific timeline for the show. He meant that he plans to continue having timeline jumps between the seasons.
