Breaking Bad



Most television is about as much fun as dragging your balls over shards of broken syringes filled with battery acid and coated with Anthrax spores. Since ‘The Wire’ is only on once a week, I have recently found myself with a great deal of free time. My bank account stays in the red and the groundhog saw his shadow promising 6 more weeks of subzero temperatures I have been forced to move indoors.

HBO has left cable network stations scrambling to make good television. You saw FX try to step their game up with shows like ‘Over There’ but this time it’s AMC…..Yes, “American Movie Classics” The same network that supplies you with a endless supply of bad Clint Eastwood movies. The show is called ‘Breaking Bad’ about a high school chemistry teacher in suburban New Mexico going through a mid life crisis when he decides that cooking Crystal Meth in a Winnebago doesn’t sound like such a bad idea. You can watch the full first two episodes online at AMCTV.COM .

If you don’t like this show you're lying to yourself about not only your commitment to quality television but probably your sexual orientation and level of popularity against the fabric of society as well. Chances are, you're probably one of those vintage leather sandal type of assh*les and most of your friends also kick it to your girlfriend behind your back.

I’m glad I can always count on the “tastemakers” of America to support such groundbreaking and highly influential entertainment with shows like “Flavor of Love #49” and round the clock clips of high speed car chases, but sometimes you need a break.

Let it be known that FX has consistently stepped their game up with the Shield, Always Sunny in Philly, the Riches, and Damages. Recognize, sir.

Agreed but The shield was the first one of those shows and came out in 2002 for the first 8 years of the channels existence there wasn't much worth watching.

starved was clearly the best fx show

Starved was good, as well as Thief, both short-lived.
