It's a WGA show. He doesn't have a ton of choice.

as for the rumors,if he had done something inappropriate we'd have heard about it about 5 minutes after she was fired.

A dick, is he? You've failed to prove that, and I'm sorry but our time is up. Please accept our consolation prizes, and our sympathy for your wild imagining that we care about your career.

there is some genuinely good writing on Mad Men but almost none of that has to do with it being a period piece. They are universal stories about people, careers, and relationships. The much lauded period details are mostly superficial (oohh she wears a girdle, the office lamp was actually made in 1962) and reflect the care and input of the production team. Television is a collaborative medium. Much of the period "expertise" reflects the hard work and input of others not Weiner's deep knowledge.
The show is good when it talks about universal truths not when it teaches about the sixties. When it tries to teach us about men and suburbia in the sixties its a weak imitation of truly great novels by the likes of Richard Yates, John Cheever, and John Updike.
I'm sorry you misunderstood my comment but using profanity to insult me is just poor taste.

"episode credits are often given to assistants as a reward for their hard work as an assistant. Sometimes, the assistants don’t even write the episode they get a credit for. Usually, they write a first draft, which is then heavily rewritten."

Hmm...I guess that question would seem less insane in a pre-internet society, huh?
