"Breaking Bad" on AMC starts on 1/20/08


This show looks kind of strange. I can't tell from the mini "Making of" documentary on AMC whether it will be a hit or a miss. In any event, since in a previous life I was a chemistry teacher for over 20 years (although I don't recall running around in my underwear!) I'm going to tune in to see what's up. Anyone else planning to watch it?

I was catching up with the Death Wish series and saw the promos. I put on the PC-DVR and will give it a look. I don't have a clue if it'll be enjoyable but I guess I will find out.

I saw an advertisement on TV(with no sound) at work last night.
Looks very odd.
I almost thought it was a Coen Brothers TV show when I first looked up at the TV.
I'll give it a chance.

Wow, I'm hooked. An exhilarating first episode. I keep checking Comcast On Demand but so far it hasn't gone up. Although the same happened with Mad Men. It didn't show up until 4-5 days later, although following episodes went up a day or two after each show date.

And no one at Comcast is willing to talk about it. :mad: Oh well; I'm going to wait, and keep calling back. Eventually they'll put the episodes up.

Re: "Breaking Bad" on AMC starts on 1/20/08


I really enjoyed this show except for one thing: the censoring of the language? If they were going to block it out, why did they film it that way. Was this origially going to be on HBO/Sho?

I got that impression, there was blurred nudity as well, and it was an hour long with no commercial interruptions.
