Matthew Weiner and the 100 Most Influential People

Time magazine made Matthew Weiner one of the 100 most influential people, stating he is a "genius". He created the drama series Mad Men and Sopranos. Now I can not judge this person because I don't know him as a person and nor am I familiar with his shows. I've heard of them, but never about them, but I think they must be good since he's won an Emmy three consecutive years. Yet everybody's opinion is different. I'm very curious to check out these shows, and once I do maybe I'll make a follow up blog with my opinion.
 Also in the article they said, "He has held up a mirror not only to a time period but to us and has demanded that we look at ourselves (whether beautiful or ugly, good or bad), look at our weaknesses and, most important, look at what makes us great. Essentially, what makes us human." That sounds pretty awesome to me if I do say so myself. I believe that's a great thing to say about someone, and I do understand why he's in the top influential people. Yet in the near future I'd like to dig deeper in this man and his shows and writing. One man writing two shows is quite impressive. There's always a man behind the curtain.
THEN! I decided to look at an interview, see what this man is about! So I watched this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-gBZ0WGh3U This man is so interesting! I didn't expect it at all! He captures the different personalities people have, the different aspects of people. I agree with this man being on such a list, truly interesting. CHECK HIM OUT LOOK HIM UP!
