Am I The Only One Saying This About Mad Men?

I'm sure like most people, I watch TV and/or movies and develop theories, but don't know if I'm the only one thinking these things.

So, I'm a little behind on "Mad Men". I just watched last week's episode. Almost the entire episode involves Don Draper trying to come up with an ad campaign for Samsonite luggage. Actually, Peggy is trying to come up with it, but Don doesn't like her stuff, and then makes her stay late on her birthday so they can come up with something together.

Okay, hold that thought.

"Mad Men" was created by a very (not gay at all) talented guy named Matthew Weiner. He has won the Emmy for best writing the last 2 years. And both times he won it, he actually shared it with a female writer from his staff.

Two years ago, the woman he wrote it with was actually the writer's assistant. Soon after, he fired her.

Now, back to last week's episode. Don - an older man - is trying to write with a Peggy (a young woman from his staff). Midway through the episode, Peggy complains to Don that he didn't give her credit for a commercial that won an award. He says:

"You gave me 20 ideas and I picked out one of them that was a kernal that became that commercial...It's your job, I give you money, you give me ideas. You're young, you'll get your recognition. It's absolutely ridiculous to be 2 years into your career and counting your ideas. You should be thanking me every morning when you wake up along with Jesus for giving you another day".

There's an exchange later when Peggy says to Don: "everybody thinks I slept with you to get the job".

You mean like, a promotion from writer's assistant to Emmy winning writer?

And at the end of the episode, it's Don's idea that wins out, and he kind of forces her to say how great it is.

I haven't heard people saying talking about how Mad Men is a thinly disguised autobiography of Weiner (weiner!). But it clearly is. And these are the things I think about. So I'm just putting it out there, in case no one else has.
