'Mad Men' final season, 14 episodes, to air in 2 parts in 2014, 2015

"Mad Men" fans will have a bit longer to say goodbye to Don Draper.

Following a trend set by "Breaking Bad," the seventh and final season of "Mad Men" will air in two, seven-episode halves, AMC announced Tuesday. The first half of the season, dubbed "The Beginning," will air in spring 2014. The second, "The End of an Era," will air in spring 2015.

"This approach has worked well for many programs across multiple networks, and, most recently for us with 'Breaking Bad,' which attracted nearly double the number of viewers to its second-half premiere than had watched any previous episode,” said AMC President Charlie Collier. “We are determined to bring 'Mad Men' a similar showcase."

Series creator and showrunner Matthew Weiner expressed enthusiasm about the storytelling potential of the two-part final season.

"We plan to take advantage of this chance to have a more elaborate story told in two parts, which can resonate a little bit longer in the minds of our audience,” he said. “The writers, cast and other artists welcome this unique manner of ending this unique experience.”

"Mad Men" debuted in 2007 and has since become one of television's most acclaimed programs, winning the Emmy for outstanding drama series four straight times. It is nominated for 12 prizes at this year's ceremony.

The seventh season of "Mad Men" (which is going to be split over two years, like the final season of "Breaking Bad") will debut on Sunday, April 13 at 10 p.m.

Tell me something people. Why is this like Breaking Bad a series split over two years, and not just called two separate series? Is it that it is the same storyline and subplots continued as opposed to separate series' which normally tie up everything neatly at the end or summin else?

Mad Men returns for the first seven episodes of its 14 episode, split-season run with a fantastic first episode chock filled with hints about the paths our favorite characters may take.

The premiere is as buoyant as it is deep, light as it is layered. It is many things at once, including absolutely fantastic. Grade: A

Evaluated merely as one episode competing against all the previous episodes in the series, this one is pretty spectacular.... Mad Men is back, looking as vibrant as ever.

Mad Men can still keep us spellbound.
