Hi guys. I think I read somewhere on these boards a while back that Matthew Weiner (Mad Men creator) was a TOS fan. I saw an episode where one of the characters had written a spec script for TOS. I wondered if anyone knew about Matthew Weiner's views/likes on our beloved TOS? Thanks.
Weiner is obviously a big Serling fan; he's recorded several commentary tracks which are on the Blu-Rays.
Wow. Thanks guys. Thanks Maurice. The reason why I brought this up was it just suddenly occurred to me that Peggy Olsen IS DC Fontana.
Here's my reasoning... Peggy started off as don's assistant, did a bit of copy writing then became head of creative. DC started as gene's assistant, sold some scripts on the side and did some rewriting on TOS then became head writer. I think mr Weiner is a bigger trek fan than he let on.
Or, that could just be a coincidence, and it ignores the fact that she sold scripts BEFORE Star Trek.
