Human trafficking would have been a worse profession for Walt to get into. Of course, to an even greater extent than manufacturing meth, it would have made sympathizing with Walt impossible.

"Did you yourself - have you done..." begins the interviewer. Mr Gilligan swallows nervously. Lol.

[@theonewhoeatsfeces]

"I did a lot of meth" LOL

[@littleweloosmom]

Oh come on, I wouldn't say meth is the "worse thing you can do to make money." He could have become a politician or starred in a reality show.

Best show on television. Insane acting, best writers and perfect staff, I personally think this show should be on CBS just because more people will hear about it. Overall, best show on tv, great job!

[@BlazingOwnager]

If the Walking Dead team ran Breaking Bad, the Nazis would have shown up, shot for a while, got mad and just walked away. Then Jack would have shot them all. The end! It's a shame I think Telltale's WD game is far and away better written than the show.

[@KaijuKitty]

Nah, just make people Netflix that shit. That's what I've done for the past 4 days. I hadn't watched it before then, and became instantly addicted to this show.

[@ZenShroud1]

Breaking Bad is phenomenal. Best thing to ever happen to television.

with?

this guy looks like littlefinger

[@Medvich]

Bravo Vince

[@IMmephiles]

True, but that game was the best thing I'd played all year.

[@danmeadowsmusic]

Same goatee thing

[@SwordofJin117]

CBS, ABC, NBC, all of those commercial channels are terrible. Breaking Bad would be censored and stereotyped to the point of ridiculousness on those channels.

[@cjzanders5430]

I agree, yet Vince gives acclaim to shows such as CSI:Miami.

The show 24 was 24 hrs in a day making it 24 episodes.It won many Emmy awards.They went by real time & it was on FOX. But I have to admit after season 5 the show really sucked in writing.But the1st 5 seasons were written so good from start to finish.But usually shows dont even make it to the 5th season so it did do pretty good. LOST was another good show,but I dont remember how long the seasons were?

[@blah7676]

Only season 5b has had good viewing figures, about 4.5million, and before that only around 2.5mil. As contrast, the walking dead, also on AMC, had around 11million viewers per week last season. Although I agree breaking bad is THE best show on tv right now, hands down, it's a shame it doesnt have such a large fan base, but the best shows usually dont.

What a guy

[@Kyubi230]

more people will hear about it? it's like the most popular show on television

[@Gyork_]

...oook that`s your opinion and I respect it but we will never be friends...

[@PeterGriffin-xi9oh]

[But hey,] at least ABC had Lost

[@BollocksUtwat]

No, it would've been cancelled after 3 episodes.

[@squawkward]

Politician - Walt would not have had the charisma or confidence to run for anything. And reality show?! Based on his tedious, unfulfilling life as a high school chemistry teacher...?!

[@TotalNeutrality]

That's because it was based on the comic by Robert Kirkman, which is really good. But you porbably never heard of it, along with 98% of the people that played the game (don't get me wrong the game is great).

[@ISolomonTruth]

The Wire?

[@Mystline18]

nah leave it off CBS. Most shows on that channel are crap.

[@Valtiel2386]

impetus

[@dmnr3667]

I don't really see the greatness, I've watched all of it and it is real good, but wouldn't you consider series such as Prison break on the same level?
