I'm going to disagree. I love love love love Breaking Bad. It is probably my favorite show on TV right now. But I think that Mad Men is a superior show, if only very slightly.

I need to watch Mad Men but I'm betting the slight superiority is the period piece nature of it.

Mad Men has more to say about America and Americans than does Breaking Bad. MM has a greater intellectual heft to it and it pulls off its full plate as deftly as BB pulls off its less-full one. MM also has a more consistent artistic vision from episode to episode; it is far easier to note big shifts in direction or writing in BB, shifts that occur when there is a first-time director or first-time principle script writer. |

The last episode of BB with the fly was amazing! How often does a TV show enter the theater of the absurd? I mean they were doing Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot!

[QUOTE=irishjayhawk;5605653]You should try to catch back up. Only 11 have aired thus far.
Damn good. Especially the first two of this season. And the opening scenes of each. FWIW, Stephen King says it's the best scripted show on television, right now. Theater of the absurd? I mean they were doing Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot! |

FWIW, I restarted my Mad Men attempt. Watched the pilot for the second or third time. Trying to get up to speed before it starts. Probably won't make it.

Oh Mad Men,
Is that a good show? I've been looking for a new one now that Lost is over. |

Real quick,
Is Mad Men a show for DVD or Blu-Ray? |
