Is breaking bad worth watching?

I have little or no patience for any TV Shows mind.

I only watch Friday Night Lights cos its sport based and from Sep 5th I wont watch any tv drama cos the NFL season will start

I tried watching Homeland and I gave up after 2 episodes, so how good is BB , sell it to me ( and no I dont give a toss aboutthe fact that its about drugs)

Yeah, everybody bangs on about how good it is. check out the first ep and see what you reckon
 
Will give it a shot

Is it better than Six feet Under? That was the last 1 hr show i had the attention span for

Since then I only like Sports like NFL and 22 mins shows like Seinfeld reruns

So basically ONE of the top 30 Most watched TV shows in the USA was not an American football game
 
Good start to the new series of 'Top Boy' earlier, looking forward to the rest of the series.
Now gonna watch 'Crank' on ITV 4 with Jason Statham starring as not watched it for a few years.
 
TLM: If you don't like Breaking Bad, I'll come to your place of residence, with a bag full of cash. Fuck sports, watch the best thing ever put on TV. I really do mean that. If anyone can recommend something better than Breaking Bad, then you need to do it, because the withdrawals are going to be harsh.

I will take you up on that treacle, im so sick of people pimping it

I will give it a chance

beware though .. in 2 weeks the NFL season starts and pretty much EVERY weekly top rated SHOW in the USA is an NFL show and not something like BB

Like I said I like to give a show a good chance( my sister is always raving about it)

Im just waiting for a TV show like BB to be almost in the same realm as the NFL ratings are/is is
Waits with baited breath ......

When push comes to shove I guess the American public prefer Robert Griffin III Compared to
Tim Whatley from Seinfeld .....

Why do the ratings matter so much? Why should we "beware" of the NFL ratings? lol

PTCH its cos the NFL basically pisses all over anything else in the USA

YEAR in YEAR OUT .....

RATINGS matter cos it shows who watches what and in that respect the NFL pisses all over any viewing in the USA

And the bottom line is the $$$
This is why the NFL can command major $$$ as opposed to any other TV show in the USA

IN the USA Sports are way ahead in ratings compared to any tv shows like BBad or any CBS Crap like Big Bang Theory ....


It's also an annual example of just how far ahead the NFL is compared to other sports leagues. In the list of the 50 most watched events in 2013 through the MLB All Star Game, the NFL dominates the list.

Of the Top 10 most watched sporting events, 10 of them belong to the NFL. That's right, every single one are NFL playoff games from the early part of the year. From the 108+ million who tuned in for the Super Bowl (and its power outage) to the 29+ million who watched the Colts-Ravens Wild Card game. No other sport has even approached that number of viewers so far in 2013.

The next most watched game was the BCS title game, which was actually down from last year in viewership thanks to Alabama running circles around Notre Dame like they were an FCS school. The 26.38 million viewers barely eclipsed Game 7 of the NBA Finals between the Heat and Spurs at 26.32 million. Elsewhere of note...

-What's the most successful TV sports property behind the NFL? It may be the college football bowl season. In addition to the title game, the Rose, Sugar, Orange, and Fiesta Bowls all made the cut. And, 2 bowls outside the BCS made the Top 50 in the Cotton and Capital One bowls. With the college football playoff on its way, one would imagine these numbers only increasing.
 
What if you hate watching sports? I'm so glad rugby (which is what NFL is, but with girly padding) isn't so big here. It's bad enough with 'die-hard' football fans, who really just want to drink Carling and shout at something. Breaking Bad isn't even comparable to live sports. It's completely different (and better). ;) I notice sport hasn't been mentioned once, in this thread, or I've missed it. Americans are obsessed with it, and getting their kids into it.
 
I think it just shows how many people will watch such shit television, they air the superbowl in the UK often. Fuck knows why, it gets stuck on BBC1 sometimes, out of the few hours or so of actual gameplay I think about 90% of it is made up with commercials, the ref talking to the crowd and not the players, and all the fancy performances at half time? Ashamed to see Ive witnessed some of it :(

Now if only 100m people tuned into something worth watching.

Edit here we are -

NSFW:
Football fans everywhere are preparing to settle in for the NFL's biggest and most electric weekend of the season—a four-game playoff marathon that will swallow up at least 12 hours of broadcast time over two days.

But here's something even dedicated students of the game may not fully appreciate: There's very little actual football in a football game.

According to a Wall Street Journal study of four recent broadcasts, and similar estimates by researchers, the average amount of time the ball is in play on the field during an NFL game is about 11 minutes.

In other words, if you tally up everything that happens between the time the ball is snapped and the play is whistled dead by the officials, there's barely enough time to prepare a hard-boiled egg. In fact, the average telecast devotes 56% more time to showing replays.

So what do the networks do with the other 174 minutes in a typical broadcast? Not surprisingly, commercials take up about an hour. As many as 75 minutes, or about 60% of the total air time, excluding commercials, is spent on shots of players huddling, standing at the line of scrimmage or just generally milling about between snaps. In the four broadcasts The Journal studied, injured players got six more seconds of camera time than celebrating players. While the network announcers showed up on screen for just 30 seconds, shots of the head coaches and referees took up about 7% of the average show.

So 11 minutes of sporting action! In a few hours though, only an hour of commercials to sit though.
