is this the only long-tenured show whose protagonist is intentionally unlikable? I can't think of any others.

If ever there was a character that I truly hated in a show, and if ever that show were Breaking Bad, I'd have to on record and nominate Flynn/Junior/whatever the fuck his name is. Before I get flamed by disability advocates and laughed off by ardent fans (Breakfast Club, etc.), I have to wonder out loud: What is he doing in this show? What essential dramatic or narrative purpose does he fulfill as a character? And don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with disabled people as such appearing on network television - in fact, I welcome it. But if their appearance serves no better aim than the shameless insertion of a token character in order to promote 'awareness,' then I have to call bullshit. Now, if they had just given him more lines, made his character more accessible (by, for instance, making him out to be something deeper or more interesting than "He's an Average American Teenager with a Disability So Look How Normal He Can be In a Supportive Environment"), and woven him into the plot somehow, I would have no complaints. As it is, his character is cringe-worthy and worse than useless.
I realize the actor who plays him actually does have down's syndrome or whatever in real life, but it seems like he's hamming it up for the camera. throwing a couple extra stutters in there and what not.
Does anyone know the actual timeline of the show?
season 1 episode 1 starts with Walt's 50th birthday. Season 5 episode 1 starts when Walt turns 52
Unlikable? I guess you mean realistic?
How anyone could go from Malcolm in the Middle's dad to being responsible for dozens of deaths within the ranks of several organized crime syndicates without getting himself killed is totally unrealistic. I feel like people would stop giving a shit that he knows how to cook the blue meth after only a few deaths he causes. Gus certainly was way too soft on him for being portrayed as such a cold-hearted gang leader.
Realistic? Maybe at one point in time...but you're a sociopath if you think Walter White is likable...lol
So I guess I'm a sociopath. Ok, he killed nine people...but so what? They were "all in the game".
They would have done the same thing.
whoever made this has entirely too much time on their hands.
Yay for Mike?
