Out of all the TV shows I watch and have watched over the years, Breaking Bad is easily my favorite. Ok "favorite" is an understatement. I'm obsessed! That's why when I hear about Aaron Paul (who plays Jesse) telling everyone to "Sit down and shut up" at a Sigur Ros concert last week, it warms my heart a little.

Part of what makes the show enticing is the fact that the characters are so relatable and the plot is somewhat realistic. I mean, it's a bit far-fetched but it could happen. In fact, I just found out that there's an actual meth cook named Walter White on Alabama's "Most Wanted" list. I wonder if he's watched the show?

Get rid of dish. The quality of the pictures stink, you still need a cable box and the service is bad. Love Breaking Bad and Walking Dead.

I did at first, and it's very well-made (in all aspects, as far as I could tell). But I stopped after not long, because it's difficult for me to watch a character continue to dig himself deeper into depravity.
If it were a single film or novel, I would probably love it. And once the series is finished, there's a good chance I'll pick up the whole thing. But to watch a single episode on a weekly basis, then wait several months just to start all over again is too much for me.

My brother can't watch it because he says it's "too messed up." My mom and I enjoy it, though.

I will admit that when Jesse dissolved the body in the hydrofluoric acid in the bath tub and it ate through the tub/ceiling, I threw up a little in my mouth... lol

I love Breaking Bad. Walter White is such a rich character. Sometimes you hate him, sometimes you love him.

I'm really glad that it's opening up doors for Bryan Cranston. I actually used to watch Malcom in the Middle because of him as well.

No but I would like to if I had a chance. AMC doesn't stream their shows online (at least they didn't last I checked), which absolutely blows. Get with the 21st century there AMC.

I sat down and had a few marathon sessions on Netflix. Makes it really hard when you have to waid a week for the next episode tho. ;)

Just out of curiosity, what do you watch then. Crap is such a relative term.

reply
KB to Cuthber... 2012/08/17 23:41:28

a bit of everything with the exception of realitty tv. I watch documentaries, sports, Futurama, Simpsons, the occasional Family Guy episode, South Park, Tosh.0, World's Dumbest; there's to much for me to list

Fair enough. We definitely intersect on documentaries, and I enjoy the occasional Simpsons or Family Guy episode as well. Everyone has their own tastes and opinions. It's nice to be able to see why people have those tastes relative to our own.

I am trying to reconcile you calling "Breaking Bad" crap with the fact that you have a what, a Pokemon or Yugio character as your avi. i.e. my version of crap.

There's a difference between having an opinion and disliking an objectively great show.

It's like.. Well, it's like if you said you didn't like The Wire or the first 13~ seasons of the Simpsons.

It's still an opinion. Please don't try to sugarcoat it.
