I don't blame the showrunner for Mad Men for this mess because he did what a good showrunner should do - fight to get the best deal for his show. Nor do I blame the showrunner of Breaking Bad for protecting that show's interests.
Hell, Frank Darabont tried to do the same for The Walking Dead. Unfortunately, he didn't have the leverage that the other 2 showrunners had, since AMC owns TWD and not the others, which is probably why he was fired.
No, the source of this mess should be placed where it belongs - on the shoulders of the AMC execs and not on the showrunners whose only "crime" is that they want to protect their shows and their people.
