This article by Jonah Goldberg prompted me to record the series during the marathon. I do watch a little television but haven’t watched a SERIES for about 15 years. It was an exceptionally good story.

I don’t think there are spoilers past the fifth season, but fair warning.
Yep, Breaking Bad is IMHO the best television series since Soap.
I also highly recommend Walking Dead.
I guess Goldberg got a lot of people to check out the series. I read his article, and to be honest, I had never heard of the series before. But last October I told my wife about Goldberg’s column. We had been looking for another series to get involved with after “Ray Donovan” was done for the season. She told me to go ahead and order the first season dvd of BB. What can I say...we were hooked after the first episode. We ordered all the remaining seasons. Then it was night after night in October watching episode after episode. Yes, Goldberg was right...it’s probably the best series tv has ever done.
