Shall we anticipate the FIFTH SEASON of the AMC series "Breaking Bad"? I think I may.

xpost, thanks but i'll read online!

"quite literally broke my heart"

holy shit at that.

the only thing that saves that piece from being a total embarrassment is that it was at least published in a magazine. So you can't say no one cares.

He should have worked on the ending a little more.

I hope Dubya writes (or at least dictates) a piece like that when Obama's 2nd term ends.

aren't you getting tired of hating it?

not exactly

smh @ whoever said that the fact that some critics didnt like or understand this episode just shows that its not good

Case in point:

By the end of the third episode, the series is closer to “Dexter” but only a sliver as entertaining. Creator and executive producer Vince Gilligan has crafted a show that veers into black comedy over the course of the first three episodes, one that is bloody, unpleasant and tedious.

Like Will Ferrell, Cranston is a performer who has a weird fetish for showing off his body and running around in his underwear. “Breaking Bad” displays Cranston in all his flabby, pasty glory. Next week, he even gets a butt shot, which may thrill some but left this viewer wanting to rub vinegar in his eyes...

Coming off of its Golden Globe win for “Mad Men,” AMC anticipates another hit. Somebody’s gotten high on some bad dope. Just say no to “Breaking Bad.”

Wow. That's probably the first time I've heard of anyone who didn't like the pilot.

Just say "I'm not a chicken. You're a turkey!" to Breaking Bad

well, we cant really deny this:

Like Will Ferrell, Cranston is a performer who has a weird fetish for showing off his body and running around in his underwear.

I didn't exactly run to this show when it first aired after seeing Malcolm's dad in that apron.

I mean, FX starts running ads of Al Bundy becoming a cocaine overlord in Durango and .... Ok, I'd watch that, but you get my point.

That was me making up my mind before even watching an episode. Boston guy actually watched the first three and came away with that review.

Next week, he even gets a butt shot, which may thrill some but left this viewer wanting to rub vinegar in his eyes...

hack TV critic for "No homo."

I love thinking of this hack Boston tv critic trying to come up with a dismissive pun.

Oddly enough, David Milch really wanted Ed O'Neill to be Swearingen on Deadwood, but HBO refused to center their expensive new Western around Al Bundy.

He was all right on Dragnet and in that Mamet movie; I could see potentially pulling off an edgy serious drama

iirc milch was inspired by seeing him do shakespeare, it was just about HBO not wanting to risk everyone lol'ing at the poster

honestly, that's a fair complaint

yeah, though I wonder if it'd be different now, post-Cranston

i can only imagine how differently BB would've been with Matthew Broderick

who is the next sitcom dad to become a serious cable antihero

Ray Romano's Men Of A Certain Age probably would have done better ratings if they'd had guns

I know a couple of critics who were ambivalent about BB early on. One pro writer friend of mine actually tuned out for much of the third season because she couldn't really take the show, but then quickly caught up with what she had missed and never got off the boat after that.

I called Ty Burrell a while back, but we're clearly going to be some time before we see get to see his turn to the dark side.

we're = it's

xp yeah, Modern Family is gonna stick around at a few more seasons

C'mon, Will Arnett. Time to step it up a notch.

Bob saget always had a dead reptilian look in his eyes.

These all sound crazy, but 30 years ago, I bet Jerry Lewis could've played Walt.

Deniro could be badger then lose 50 lbs to be skinny pete

xp The problem is Jerry Lewis is totally unsympathetic

I'd like to see Dave Foley take a stab at something like this.

No, no, no. It's

SCOTT: Walter
MARK: Skylar
KEVIN: Jesse
DAVE: Hank
BRUCE: Marie

lol Bruce would do a GREAT Marie

xp The problem is Jerry Lewis is totally unsympathetic

Maybe, but he would've turned the barrel-stealing scene into a slapstick tour-de-force.

just switch Scott & Dave and then omg

yeah Scott is great at asshole cop types

Paul Bellini as brock

good call, would definitely like to see Foley in a black comedy/drama - any of them really

you should watch this it's really funny http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120536/

"Skylar, these are great eggs."

"They're fresh from my body onto your plate!"

this thread has taken an amazing turn

and i agree Scott should play Hank.

I didn't even know The Wrong Guy existed until I read about it a few weeks back. It really is hilarious and great.

And Dave played a really good depressed version of himself on Maron recently. Dude has a (totally justified) air of melancholy that would translate really well to a darker dramatic role.
