This weekend: The Emmys and a "Mad Men" interview

This weekend at Z on TV, I'll be posting portions of an interview with Robin Veith, the Baltimore native and Mad Men staff writer. She's our Sunday cover story in the Arts & Entertainment section of the Sun, but we were only able to use about one-third of what she had to say in the print version.

So, I'll be blogging this weekend with some of her thoughts on Hollywood writers reading fan blogs, hidden themes of Mad Men, and what she really meant to say with the scene in "The New Girl" that features Freddy Rumson playing Mozart on his pants zipper.

Veith is up for an Emmy in best writing for a drama series as co-author of last year's season finale, "The Wheel," which she wrote with series creator Matt Weiner.

And then, tune in late Sunday night for post-Emmys blogging at Z on TV.

See you then.

Z
