"Mad Men" Gets an End Date

Nothing last forever -- even in TV land.

Today, Matthew Weiner told the Television Critics Association (TCA) that he has a plan for his acclaimed AMC show "Mad Men."

The creator says that his plan includes five seasons, spanning a total of 10 years, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That explains the 14-month gap starting next season.

If all goes well between Weiner and the network, the show will end in 2011. That would also mean that the viewers are in for a 10-year ride, showing the characters' lives from 1960 to 1970.

"Mad Men" takes place in 1960s New York City, at the fictional Sterling Cooper advertising agency. Jon Hamm stars as Don Draper, a brilliant ad (and ladies') man.

The second season of "Mad Men" premieres July 27 on AMC. The first season was just released on DVD and Blu-ray disc on July 1. -- Rachel Cericola
