Beware the Angry TV Writer

Yesterday's Wall Street Journal had a good article on writers' revenge in TV episodes.  My favorite relates to Matthew Weiner's revenge on a former employer.  The creator of "Mad Men" got even when he put the man's name on a gravestone in a cemetery scene as part of an episode of "The Sopranos." 

In another case, Seth MacFarlane also got even with the folks at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for never providing him with an award when one of his show's characters is murdered with a Golden Globe statuette.

Check out the article.  It has a number of good stories and may make you a more careful viewer (just in case an old girlfriend or boyfriend is getting even with you).
