    Matthew Weiner, creator and show-runner of Mad Men, opens up about his conflicts with the show's network, AMC. He insists he doesn't read online chatter about the show -- for his mental well-being -- and doesn't have a Twitter account. After four years of winning the Emmy for Outstanding Drama, the series lost out to Homeland last year, but he hopes to reclaim that spot. And he says it's time to end Mad Men.
