    I've never seen an episode, but Amazon has an incredible deal running through today where the first three seasons are on sale for $9.99 each! Best of all, it includes the Blu-Ray versions! :o

    Can't wait to see what all the fuss is about! :D

    I tried. It seems like a glorified, stylish soap opera to me. Maybe I just don't like TV shows that much.

    This show is awesome. I havent read all the posts here becaus eI am only on season 2 and don't want spoilers, but Ilove this show.

    I had a hard time gettting through season 1. I thought it wasnt very good until about half way through, but it really started to take off after that when you start to root for certain people. The characters are awesome, and I love the sets and produciton value.
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)

    Just finished watching Season 1 today. Genius ending with Peggy not knowing she was pregnant.

    Will probably start season 2 later today. This heat wave has helped by letting me stay inside to watch it.

    Both are great shows...I do agree that breaking bad is better.

    I watched an episode or two on Netflix and found it to be boring ...(Maybe it's because I'm a teenager). Nothing really interesting to me. Now if we are talking about best I think that would be Breaking Bad. Such an awesome show. Even though it's not my favorite(My personal favorite being Psych) I think it's the best show on TV today.

    SO SO good. The summer that Season 4 was on, I got seasons 1-3 and caught up whenever I got the chance.

    The writing is phenomenal.

    Plus John Slattery = silver fox. The majority of the cast is extremely talented and happen to be attractive at the same time. :lol: Jon Hamm, plus I think January Jones and Christina Hendricks are stunning.

    Can't wait to watch the season premiere!

    Because she's arm candy. That episode was horrible. I was really disappointed. It was almost like the writers said "ok how many crazy one liners can we make Roger say in an episode?" Although they were funny they tried too hard. I usually watch Shameless at 9 but I watched it at 11 and it was amazing. That's the best show. You also have to remember, the mood of the country has changed. I think anyway. People have really had enough of people who take advantage of the average people and probably won't want to watch it on tv. I'll be curious to see what the ratings were. Anyone else have thoughts?
