Weiner said today in a Reddit AMA that he liked being on AMC when asked if his show would be different on HBO: "HBO has an insatiable appetite for nakedness and violence so there would have been a lot more of that. That may sound like a missed opportunity for some people but I have enjoyed the restrictions of basic cable. I think it has made the show strangely more sexy by implication and it was never going to be violent. The hero takes a nap in the first 15 minutes of the pilot.” PLUS: Weiner “was totally freaking out” when Paul McCartney said he watched “Mad Men” (http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2e0npr/hi_my_name_is_matthew_weiner_you_may_know_me_from/cjuyg4a) and Weiner took home Roger’s Bar (http://www.vanityfair.com/vf-hollywood/2014/08/mad-men-last-season-rogers-bar).
