The Walking Dead

Frank Darabont and Meathead are the only two people to make a decent Stephen King movie.

And you can always tell how good something is from the hate it gets from the Farkers.

If you're mad Frank Darabont left The Walking Dead, blame Mad Men?

AMC has sliced $250,000 per episode from The Walking Dead and has asked the creators of Breaking Bad to scale their next season down from 13 episodes to a mere six or eight.

As a result, there's a lot of muttering behind the scenes that AMC broke the bank for Mad Men and is now expecting the other shows to make do with less. It's been speculated that Darabont's refusal to agree to the smaller budget led to his departure as executive producer from The Walking Dead

Look, I've tried to understand the appeal of Mad Men. But it ain't their only show. This probably also explains why there has been talk of Breaking Bad moving to another network. (Like HBO, please dear God, please.)

I've never even seen an ep of Mad Men.

I tried to watch it because everyone said it was all kinds of awesome. I watched five or six episodes and threw in the towel. Ann watched one and said she was done.

It took two episodes of Breaking Bad for me to get hooked. Very dark humor.

I'm under the impression this is one of the best shows on tv that I'm not watching .

Man , there's a lot of good tv right now .

[TinkTanker]

I burned through three seasons in about four or five days. Absurd, dark humor with suspense. Great writing, great drama. Ann won't watch it, but it is good stuff. Not The Wire good, but what is?
