After Mad Men season finale last night they showed an extended preview of a new show "Breaking Bad" premiering in January.

Wow, AMC may be the new HBO if this show is as good as the preview looked.

I will try to find the video preview.

Why do I think this is another one for the PTC "Hit List" ?

I tend to use their list as a must-see list.

Sorta like the PMRC in the 80's?

Damn you! One more thing to add to my list!


From their website:

About the Show

AMC’s addictive new series, Breaking Bad, is a darkly comic drama that captures life at a moment of irrevocable change. In the ultimate mid-life crisis, a high school chemistry teacher takes a match to his straight-laced existence - turning a used Winnebago into a rolling meth lab. Everyday life combusts in this uncontrolled experiment with the American dream.

There is teaser videos on their site. It is looking better and better with each teaser.

Thanks for the heads up. I still have Mad Men all saved up on my TiVo, so I probably wouldn't have found out about this otherwise.

 

[ElJay]

Thanks for the reminder.

 

[Havana Brown]

Thanks for the HB bump. I hope to remember to do a wishlist for it.

 

[Havana Brown]

Is this something that will air only on Sundays at 10 or will they have repeats throughout the week?

I am sure they will. With Mad Men they replayed it right after the initial airing and then about 3 times that week.

Are you worried about recording conflicts? Cause there ain't gonna be any if the strike continues.

 

[Havana Brown]

Is this in the guide data yet? I keep forgetting to add it to the wishlist. If it's not in the guide data I can't add it to the line-up online, right?

 

[marksman]

I will have to try and catch this. I missed out on Mad Men, and tried to record it a few times to catch up, but never got it. Will have to find some way to get into that. But I would like to try this one from the beginning.

It is always good when a channel finds a voice for original programming. Seems like AMC may have done it.

This looks interesting! But no, I just searched on TCO and it's not in the guide data yet. (THere is a "Making of . . ." program, but not the actual show.) But I'll keep an eye out. Thx for the heads-up!

 

[sieglinde]

Barf. I can go into town and see real tweakers. I bet there is a meth lab within a mile of my house. (I live in the high desert of California.)

from Mary McNamara, the tv critic for Multichannel News. She called it "gutsy, fresh, groundbreaking."

(she also picked Mad Men as her choice for best drama of 2007, followed by Dexter.)

I'm really looking forward to Breaking Bad. Sounds like AMC is two for two.

 

[mtnagel]

Thanks for the bump. It's in the guide now. I set it up remotely so I won't forget.

 

[mwhip]

I added it yesterday. I just wish AMC was in HD or that they would re-broadcast it on HDNET in HD. Especially after hearing the little blurb about the cinematography.
