Not exaggerating when I say the best show on TV...ever. |
While I love this show, I'll disagree with what you say. I don't think this show will have the staying power when it comes to the fans once it's over. My favorite shows of all time are Twin Peaks, Arrested Development, The Twilight Zone and The Honeymooners. These shows have staying power. Best new show might be Orange Is The New Black. Not sure about the staying power, though. Phil |

Like Pia, I have only seen a couple of TV shows that run for seasons.
The Shield and Deadwood. Both were brilliant. I have the Wire on order from the library and should be getting the email for it any day.
Like Pia as well, I haven't seen a film at the cinema since loathing the dark knight in 2008. Haven't seen any films since then in DVD as I'm not interested, lol. |

I suppose I stand alone then when I say...
I think Breaking Bad is one of the worst shows on T.V.
I see by another thread where Phil was joking when He asked what the show was...
I personally think it's sad to see television digressing to this level and that so many people find it entertaining.
It's TRASH!
But…that’s just me…

There's been a lot of television/movies where the bad guy is portrayed as a good. The Sopranos is a great example. So is Scarface; I remember seeing all the leather jackets with Al Pacino's likeness stitched into it. Is this type of glorification wrong? Maybe... A little...
It shows how strong the writing is.

Great point Phil
I sometime have a blind spot where the stories message is concerned and typically base my decision to watch it on the fact of whether or not I want this philosophy advanced as a common socially accepted bar for which future television needs to meet or be exceeded.
It's been my experience, that mediums of entertainment are never dormant nor are they predictable.
But I can (hopefully) dictate to some small degree in which I can influence it with my viewers vote.
With that said, I don't disagree with anyone here pertaining the writing of the show, I'm simply casting my vote by not watching it based on the moral principles it seems to lack.

I had a moral issue with this show too, but the show sucked me in to the point I just forgot about that. Interestingly enough though is that I gave two of my kids the entire series for Christmas last year. Neither liked it and one of them actually gave me the DVD set back... |

So let me get this straight. You won't watch the show based on its moral principles (or lack there of)? I could understand your reasoning if you watched the show. But by your own admission, you don't. This show does NOT lack a moral compass. If I was tempted to shoot meth before, I definitely wouldn't be tempted after watching BB. |

You all can go join hands, ride unicorns, and sing kumbaya for all I care. Just stay the hell away from my TV set or my morally bankrupt mind will go medieval on your hippy ass! Just kidding. Sort of. |

Yeah, it's like that for the main char of The Shield, Vic Mackey, played by Michael Chiklis. He's a murderer, a thief, an extortionist amongst other things. But you don't hate him at all ( well, I don't, lol) because he is a damn good cop and loves his kids. Even when he deliberately kills another police officer, you don't hate him. He gets laid a fair bit too, by some hot women. Must be the nuggety frame/bald head/blue eyes/ rough treatment combo that works. |
