As a site note, we will not be posting any information from this leaked episode as we would like to respect Matthew’s views on the no-spoiler policy. We will continue to post information from sources like TV Guide. I has the unexpected pleasure of viewing this episode through my season pass, however, screen captures and information from the episode will not be posted until the episode has aired on AMC. Thanks!

After waiting nearly a year for the new season of AMC’s “Mad Men” to have its premiere last Sunday, some fans discovered on Tuesday that they were briefly able to download the third episode of the new season from the Apple iTunes store, nearly two weeks before it is scheduled to be broadcast on television. (Right, Elisabeth Moss, who plays Peggy on the show.)

Bloggers for Web sites like mashable.com and several Twitter commenters said they discovered the “Mad Men” episode, called “My Old Kentucky Home,” had been automatically downloaded to their iTunes queues — and to the queues of other Season Pass holders — just before midnight on Tuesday, though the episode is not scheduled to be shown until Aug. 30. The glitch was fixed, and users are no longer able to download the episode. In a statement AMC asked “those who received this episode in error to please refrain from spoiling plot lines out of respect to other ‘Mad Men’ fans who are looking forward to watching the story unfold.”
