    So your comparison with Seinfeld was only that you find it to be a good show, not that it's supposed to be funny.

    Yeah. I wanted to convey just how good Breaking Bad is, by stating that it is on par with how good Seinfeld is.

      You are missing out. It is actually very good. Not too American, sometimes their series can get repetetive and are a bit dull, but this one really is well acted, well scripted with deep character development, and more twists and turns than a twisty turny thing. :)

      ============================== Nothing to say.

        Sounds like good family viewing. I am being unfair, it is probably quite good, but I have never seen it.

        It's amazingly good---you really should watch it. Just look at the critical reception: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_Bad#Reception[^]

            Since you all watch Breaking Bad, which is perhaps equalled with Seinfeld as the greatest show of all time, I just wanted to say that the thirteenth and final episode of season four is ASTONISHINGLY, UNBELIEVABLY INCREDIBLE. :omg: :omg: :omg: Go. Watch it.

            Your assumption is false. Shaky evidence underpinning your assertion there mate. I haven't heard of the show, nevermind watched it.

                                What can I say? People like feeling smug and superior. That's not an easy thing to achieve for most of them.

                                      Looked it up, seems it was first shown in the UK on a satellite channel no-one watches, then bought up by an even less watched one before being dropped completely with no-one else wanting to pick it up. And the DVD is not available for our region.

                                      How peculier. It really is quite good. It surprises me it wasnt picked up, it deserves to be.

                                        Since you all watch Breaking Bad, which is perhaps equalled with Seinfeld as the greatest show of all time, I just wanted to say that the thirteenth and final episode of season four is ASTONISHINGLY, UNBELIEVABLY INCREDIBLE. :omg: :omg: :omg: Go. Watch it.

                                        So really, thats it. Walt won, to use his words. The cartel is dead, Gus and his baddies are dead. (Just how many people has Walt killed in the series? 8Ball and his cousin, the two who worked for Gus that he ran over, the two who had Jessie handcuffed in the lab. Salamanca, Gus and his other henchman... anymore?). So is that the end of Breaking Bad? Can they continue? Will Walt and Jesse start up their own drug gang now there is a vacuum? There has to be a show down eventually between Walt and Hank so there has to be a new series. Nice twist at the end with the Lilly of the Valley.

                                          There's going to be one more season, apparently.
