to break bad - when someone has taken a turn off the path of the straight and narrow, when they've gone wrong
This is the story of Walter White, an overqualified high school chemistry teacher and struggling family man turned meth cooking drug dealer.
Why, you ask?
Because Walt has cancer, lung cancer, and only a short while left to live before he leaves his family with nothing.
More details about the show can be found at Wikipedia, here, or at the show's website, here.
This is the best show on television right now (it just started it's second season last Sunday), you may have heard that Bryan Cranston won an Emmy for the first season last year.
Unfortunately the first season doesn't appear to be online anywhere for free but the DVD is relatively cheap since there were only seven episodes (cut short by the WGA strike).
mod edit: Standard TV show spoiler rules apply in here: Spoiler tags are required for current-season goings-on, anything from past seasons is fair game.

edit: Kinda like a gender reversal of "Weeds"
Breaking Bad is a such a great show, but I do like Weeds quite a bit too. They are both good to me.
I have been looking forward to this for quite awhile.
Although I'll readily say I've watched neither and I say that just from my general impressions of the two.
And I think that Walt left his
and yeah, i thought it was KIND OF like Weeds, but with a much darker tone/sense of humor. and while i like both, i think i'd take Breaking Bad if forced to choose one. who knew AMC good make a DAMN good show?
yeah, i've seen comercials, what is it about? how's it compare to breaking bad? i mean in quality, i know enough that they're not similar in content
not only is the subject matter dark but the filming itself is often dark and muted, even when the scene is taking place outdoors. the lighting & camera filters almost seem at times to be tied into walter's mood.
Mad Men is about Madison Avenue advertising executives in 1960. It is awesome.
I'd say BB is very similar to weeds in many ways (which imo is a good thing), it's still got plenty of comedic moments but they're more subdued than in Weeds. It also doesn't glorify the drug, i.e. I don't think we'll see Snoop Dog rapping about how great Walt's latest batch is. Also Cranston is really great has he won any awards for acting from season 1? (nevermind two posts above confirm he did, he deserved it)
I wouldn't really consider Weeds and Breaking Bad to share anything in common aside from their stories revolving around an illegal drug (and the intensity of each show could be a statement about how dangerous the respective drugs are.)
They're all good shows, though.

Excited!
FX must be kicking themselves since they passed on it.
I was sure the left thier ID on the table when he made them dump out thier pockets and it all got left there but i guess not.
The next season is definitely gonna be his brother inlaw knowing but not being able to prove it and tryin.
But hunting him and trying to get hard evidence on him? Not the type. The writers are more concerned with having him face the kind of people who are out of his depth and can and will kill him.
I'm really enjoying this series. I hope it never slows down.
I am confused as well how he kept refering to half of walters money as his. Was the money that was taken all his previously before they cooked, and walter is holding both of their money? That didnt make sense to me. If the dude lost his money, fuck him. Its in Walters best interests to keep him afloat as a loan, but otherwise hes screwed. If he needs more then 600 it would of benefited walt to bring him more.
My brother did that when learning to drive, only it was a fire hydrant, and he was able to hit the break and stop 2 feet from the thing.
Walter assumed that he spent the $600 on drugs but we didn't find out what he actually spent it on
Unless the cops got it from his house but Im pretty sure they hadnt breached it at that point.
Looks like Skyler has found his money/gun.
