It's always sunny just hasn't been able to win me over. I can't stand it, but my missus loves it. Sure it has it's moments but on a whole my life would be the same had I never seen it.
If you don't mind animated stuff check out The Boondocks. It's definately not drama and it has more than it's fair share of moments imo
something inside you is broken
Kinda late, but
I also didn't like Always Sunny for a while. What got me was the lack of a sympathetic main character.
Then I realized the point of the show was that all of the main characters are supposed tremendous bastards, and it clicked for me.
holy shit this thread was made in 2008? whoa fuck
anyway I'm about to finish season 2. pretty good show. season 1 was weird... it tried so hard to be a serious show but I just couldn't take it seriously.
season 2 is better
In Kansas City, Missouri, though, I don't think residents will be forgetting the show with or without the online shorts. According to the KCPD chief's blog some intrepid drug chemists in or around the city are now producing blue meth, possibly (oh c'mon, it almost has to be) as a result of the show's popularity. Once again life imitates art...$75 per gram at a time.
Emmy-nominated AMC/Sony TV drama Breaking Bad won’t premiere fresh episodes for its fourth season until July 2011. To bridge the 13-month gap between seasons, the plan is to produce short interstitial mini-episodes of 3-to-4 minutes apiece early next year after the show goes back in production in January.
I'm doing my first re-watch of the series. Two random thoughts
1. Did they completely abandon the non-linear storytelling device? Ya know, when they'd cold open an episode with a "flash forward" so to speak. I don't remember seeing it in season 3, but I am not there yet.
2. Seeing Walt and Skylar's relationship deteriorate felt more real the second time around. Before I was just like "Man, she's a bitch". Now I realize how long she tried to hold on. It's interesting to me that most of their genuine moments of affection come out of guilt over their own actions.
man I'm on Season 2 and holy shit Walt turned into a douche
turned into?
like he was some paragon of virtue in the first season?
did you not notice the part when he tried to rape his wife?
I think that Gray Matter is the episode where most sane people start to lose sympathy for him
insane people think he is badass and also skylar is, like, totally such a bitch
I'm inherently distrustful of people who hate skyler
Walts doucheyness peaks at the end of the 2nd season.
When he breaks into Jesses apartment and kills Jane.
She was so hot too, well at least before the drug relapce.
Well
The point that he killed her is debatable. He let her die, and could have saved her, but actively chose not to because she was becoming a problem for him. I guess that makes him just as culpable as he would be if he'd just shot her or something. But she would have died whether he'd been there or not.

No she wouldn't have. It was Walt shaking Jesse that turned her on her back and made her drown in her own vomit.
And yeah actively choosing to let her die while you watch is about the same as killing her yourself.

the man has chops
anyone else notice the subtle mannerisms he's given Walt? Like the way he does that hand wave thing (you can see a good example of it in Gray Matter when he's imitating his old professor talking about bunsen burners) whenever he's dismissing something.

Well... until "This is not meth" anyway.
H-h-oly shit. I knew the show would be great when I finally got to watch it, but it definitely exceeded expectations.
aw, dangit
He got ahold of me today, saying, "Yeah, this show is just depressing, man, I don't think I'm down for it."
He's one episode shy of finishing the first season, and I keep telling him it just gets better and better, but I think he's gunna puss out.
Tell him he should watch "Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance".
Tell him it's an action film.

yeah
I actually had to leave the room when I was rewatching that episode with some friends it makes me so uncomfortable
still, constantly belittling Jesse, getting all passive aggressive with Skylar over the cigarettes, etc
dude is mean
it just stopped the series in its tracks for her
not very comfortable with that scene and the two handjob scenes in the series
yeah I was rewatching it with my girlfriend and just went to the bathroom as that scene started
the coward's choice
woooooooo
insane people think he is badass and also skylar is, like, totally such a bitch
