N really wanted to check out Breaking Bad just to see what the hype was about. So I agreed to watch one episode for his sake. Ten episodes later, I can tell you that it isn’t bad at all. We haven’t laughed this hard since we discovered 24 six years ago. I hate the middle-class midlife crisis genre but this show is a perfect parody of it.
So I changed my mind. Breaking Bad is a great show with enormous comedic potential. There was this episode where people passed “a talking pillow” to each other during a conversation, and I thought I would hurt myself laughing.
Thanks for reminding me of that scene. It always makes me giggle.

You should have seen N. asking with a scared look, “Why are they doing this?” and me responding, “They are Americans.” 🙂 🙂

Do recommend. I heard people say good things about it. I think we’ll check it out.

Oh yeah, I started watching it about three weeks ago, and can’t stop watching. The show’s on-the-nose silliness is pretty fun, as are the numerous pokes at stereotypical American masculinity.

I became a Breaking Bad addict over the summer. It’s a fantastic show, but it does get more serious in later seasons.

Meh. I can’t stand the sight of that guy in his jockey shorts.
