Perfect timing . . .

For a post about Breaking Bad.

AMC is, once again, running a full marathon prior to the start of Season 3 on March 21st. It looks like 2 episodes per night for about 10 days starting with the Pilot on March 10. Trust me, if you watch the Pilot you will be hooked. And I'm not talking about being hooked once the episode is over and you've had time to contemplate and reflect on all you have seen. I'm talking about an intense opening that hooks you quick.

It is in the middle of the damn night for some reason, unless the site is running on PST or some bull****. So fire up the DVR and watch it at your leisure, sans commercials.

Here's the full schedule ---> AMC site

Great find. I will definitely be watching all of them.

Yeah, I may actually re-watch some of them. This is the first show since the early seasons of X-Files that actually makes me sad when the season ends and excited when the new one starts.

OH MY ****ING GOD!. Samberg and Parnell are doing Lazy Sunday on Jimmy Fallon right now. So fricken awesome.

The Unseen · 03-09-2010, 12:29 AM

Thanks for the heads-up FlyingElvis. I've never seen Season 1, so I think I'll check it out.

It's so damn addictive...Bryan Cranston as a meth dealer with his akward partner and former student Jessie are a team stocked full of unintentional comedy. I have never been more hooked on a show than Breaking Bad.

Who knew meth dealing, murder, lying, and stealing could be so incredibly satisfying. Intense and dark, and always keeps me on edge. Even my 52 year old 4th grade teacher mom can't peel her eyes off the screen when Breaking Bad hits the screen. It must be good for that to be the case.

It's never too late to pound out the 1st two seasons and get caught up before the premiere. I strongly suggest all who are interested in great television to take a look.

The ending of "Over" in season 2 was some of the best writing I've ever seen.

Anyways, I'm super stoked beyond all repair for two Sundays from now

Good season finale to White Collar, I guess. I have mixed feelings about it.

All new Psych tonight! Season finale though. :( :(

24 could be done for good. I would be thrilled if it was true. Without DVR or TIVO, I have gained tons of fat.

YotoJets007 · 03-10-2010, 04:03 PM

Just curious.... Did Jericho have ending? I am thinking about renting the series but without ending I will wait for SyFy to re-air the series.

Brodeur · 03-10-2010, 04:10 PM

It has an ending but not a completely definitive one.

I have a night class 6-9PM on Wednesdays. Thankfully it's a pit class without required attendence, and I can sneak out 10-15 minutes early. Who needs Modern American History since 1900 when I can watch history be made each Wednesday by Shaun and Gus? There's no chance I'm missing the finale.

vidae · 03-10-2010, 04:30 PM

I'm 99% sure that they repeat the episode two hours after it first airs.

edit: Just checked, airs at 9 here, and is on again at 12am.

Ya that.

I would highly recommend Jericho very underrated show season one is epic and season two while not as good as the first is worth your time.

Brodeur · 03-10-2010, 05:23 PM

I thought the first half of season one was really hit and miss but the second half was very good, with a really really great season finale. I enjoyed season two more than the first half of season one and it was a nice cap off to the series.

History Channel should more than compensate for class time missed.

I'll be checking out this Breaking Bad marathon. Have never seen an episode but have heard nothing but greatness.

I was going to ask about that but figured why bother.

TBS is great for watching reruns.

I cant go out on consecutive nights because I dont have any DVR or TIVO to record 24 and Lost shows. A lot of activities are located 35 minutes or more away.

Job · 03-10-2010, 06:22 PM

Your presence here suggests me you have the interwebz, and could therefore just watch those the following day.

But why have you gained tons of fat as a result of this?

Not literally.
