‘Mad Men’ Was Filming At LAX During Shooting

“Mad Men” was in the process of filming an episode at Los Angeles International Airport Friday morning when a deadly shooting incident occurred at the travel hub, according to tweets from a production staffer.

Plenty of other bizzers were caught up in the shooting drama and the traffic snarl that ensued around 9:30 a.m. PT as the airport was evacuated while law enforcement hunted for the shooter.

Dustin Woods, a key grip on the AMC’s “Mad Men,” tweeted that the series was filming in American Airlines’ Terminal 4 at LAX, one terminal away from where shots were fired at approximately 9:20 a.m. PT.

Woods tweeted to TV Guide’s Michael Schneider that the show on which he was in production was “Mad Men,” noting that it was the program’s first day back lensing.

AMC declined to comment.

Mad Men’s Final Season Will Air in Two Parts

Following Breaking Bad's lead, Mad Men's final season will air in two parts, AMC announced today. The first seven episodes will air this spring, and the second seven episodes will air in the spring of 2015; AMC is dubbing these halves "The Beginning" and "The End of an Era." Why wouldn't AMC just call this two shortened seasons? Money reasons, probably: Often contracts for the cast and crew are negotiated on a season-to-season basis. Calling it one season makes it cheaper to produce, and splitting it into parts makes it more lucrative to air.

Two other things to note: First, this is only one more episode of MM than one might have expected. We knew the coming season would be the show's last, and all previous seasons have been thirteen episodes. (Not so Breaking Bad, whose first season was only seven episodes.) And second, this means the final half-seasons of Breaking Bad and Mad Men won't be competing against each other for Emmys. More Don Draper to go around!
