bwahahahaha!

come to think of it, big jim rennie looks a bit like the captain and is cranky and bossy. junior can be gilligan because he is stupid and easily maniplated. Max is Ginger, and....all the other women are MaryAnn. Which leaves barbie to be the professor: the handsome problem solver.

I don't know who the Howells are...I guess they are still holed up at home waiting for their limo to return.

No WAY that would happen with TWD

Actually I started tuning out once Maxine arrived on the scene.

***SPOILER ALERT***












I didn't care for Maxine either, but thankfully they killed her off the show. I hope they don't drag this out too long. If there's to be a 2nd season, please let it be the last. I remember Stephen King saying this very thing about Lost a few years ago. He told them it had to have a pretty swift ending or the story would get out of control and people would lose interest. I hope he takes his own advice.

I've forgotten to watch it a couple of times, generally I just watch if I'm bored and don't have anything better to do. I can't believe a show like this gets huge ratings when the many truly great shows on cable channels like AMC, and FX get tiny ratings. I look forward to new episodes of AMC shows all week, I'd NEVER miss them.

Breaking Bad is the best thing on TV, it was recently included in the Guinness Book of World records as the most highly acclaimed TV series. BB gets 6 million viewers on a good night while a much lesser quality show like Under the Dome gets 13 million. Do people just not have cable, or think there are only 3-4 channels creating TV shows? I just don't get it. If more people would take the time to check out the many excellent cable shows it would encourage the big 3 to create better programming.

Maxine was awful, so glad she's gone.

Glad she went too. I watched the last episode that I missed on Amazon and imo it was one of the better episodes (of course lol).

Please do not refer to him as Big Jim. His name is and always will be Hank. Thank You

for me with some of these cable series I simply don't know about them until it's years into. I had not ever heard of Breaking Bad until a while ago.

if AMC is owned by a network or larger entity perhaps some cross-marketing would help, FX is obviously owned by FOX for instance.

Many people don't think of going to some of these cable channels for series. There's so much junk on it's hard to keep track. I remember when A/E actually showed quality programing.

A blurb was run and the US open ran over. It started at 9/10:24

My sil called me and asked if it was on, luckily, so I added the news to the recording schedule for the evening.
