That's what I did last year and parts I wasn't expecting to like as much I found myself liking a lot more than I remembered. I think it helps to see it in a semi-continuous stream rather than waiting every week to watch it or years in between seasons. There were periods, especially near the end, that I didn't remember enjoying so much that I really enjoyed this time. When I was watching it when it was on, I had such high expectations especially as it was getting to the end that were impossible for the show to live up to.

Yeah, the crazy expectations towards the end for shows like that generally leave you feeling a little disappointed. The one show that I do have high expectations for every week and never fails to deliver is Breaking Bad....can't wait to see the final season coming up here.

Over Christmas I watched all of Breaking Bad and loved it! I can't wait for this season! Is this the last one?

Yeah, this past season of Breaking Bad might be my favorite TV season of all time. Yeah, season 5 will be the last one. It's 16 episodes....rumor is that they may break it up into 2 parts.

The late, great Ol' Dirty Bastard is getting immortalized on the silver screen. Entertainment Weekly reports that the Joaquín Baca-Asay-directed film will be called Dirty White Boy, and will star Michael K. Williams of Omar from "The Wire" and Chalky White from "Boardwalk Empire" fame.

Omar vs. Avon and Stinger vs. McNulty

I don't know the results yet as I'm reading thru this.

I would have gone stringer/omar. then omar. every scene that dude was in drew me in. he was awesome

mcnulty was probably my favorite but I have to deduct points for being whipped. no excuse for being a pussy and not drinking. I would have taken bunk over him.

shhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

for my money, best show of all time. one of these days I gotta watch it all again

dude, this is what prompted me to sign up for netflix

now I pay 20 bucks a month and I have been stuck on lost season 6 for over a year. that show is fucking horrible. an instant sleeping pill. Been watching that crap for so long I feel like I have to see the end. show was so bad I hope they all die at the end

someone remind me to cancel my netflix. what a waste. thank god for sports. can't wait for the hockey playoffs and baseball so I have something to watch again

Yeah, we watched season 1 again a few months ago. Want to start season 2 up but can't find the DVD's.

Yeah, Omar was the shit. Such a great character. I think they did well with the final results. McNulty was awesome. Everyone was awesome. What a great fucking show.

You are right about Lost. Piece of shit show! I'm watching "Sons of Anarchy" right now on netflix and am really enjoying it. I'm almost finished season 2.

when i'm done this, i think breaking bad is the next one i will get into. have heard only good things about it.

people rave about mad men too.

spoiler alert........
























seeing rawls' smurking face at that gay bar was fucking hysterical. i had to rewind it to make sure it was him. haha

Season 3 is my favorite of the series, but I know a lot of people who think season 4 was the best.

Absolutely try Breaking Bad next, you wont' be disappointed! I tried to give Mad Men a try but I couldn't get into it.
