Feeling left out of the "Breaking Bad" hoopla? Upset you can't join in the fun of Sunday night's finale because you never caught up on the series everyone seems to be talking about?
Take heart viewer, because AMC is here to help with your binging needs.
Starting Tuesday at 8 p.m. with the very first episode that originaly aired Jan. 20, 2008, the cable network will screen every instalment of the Emmy-winning series in an ultra-marathon that will culminate in the 75-minute finale airing Sunday night.
Already riding high on fan love, the series about a high-school chemistry teacher Walter White (Bryan Cranston) who enters the drug trade to pay for his
Along with taking the top award, actress Anna Gunn also won an Emmy for outstanding supporting acting in a drama series for her portrayal as Whites wife, Skyler.
AMC's decision to air the "Countdown to the Finale" binge-fest coincides with the onine marathoning of all 234 episodes of Comedy Central's "South Park." The massive four-day celebration of all things Eric, Kyle, Stan and Kenny can be viewed at SouthParkMarathon.com. It began Sept. 21, and will
AMC will air the first four seasons of "Breaking Bad" through Friday, Sept. 27. The marathon will then pick up with episodes from the current fifth season Sept. 28 at 11 p.m. and continue through the night and day leading up to the 75-minute series finale.
Same here.. I downloaded all up until current, last week (plus the last episode last night).
Took me 3 days to watch them all :p
Interesting (and annoying in parts), but a good watch.
I admit it. I’m hooked on that show. But I didn’t get addicted till about the 2nd season. I for sure plan on watching the 1st season to see what I missed.
At least I have been warned and don’t have to bother wasting my time checking the channel for a few days for something redeeming to watch.
Why doesn’t AMC just go ahead and change the name? They play classic movies about like MTV plays music videos.
BTW..did you ever watch "Weeds?"
Will coffee be enough?
Yippee BookMark from another late comer :)
I sure plan on watching. I started 2 seasons ago. Will love to see it from the beginning.
Maybe for the first half day until you can figure out how to make your own. < note to DEA and NSA: just joking, no need to get a search warrant for my house to accidentally raid my neighbor and shoot his dog>
I have been watching it on Netflix and am hopelessly hooked. I will make sure to record this season in its entirety since I don’t know when it will be uploaded to Netflix. Great, great show!
i find it hard to identify with a show that glorifies a drug dealer whilst trying to keep children off drugs. if you like this, then go ahead, but don’t tell me that you find meth unacceptable
I was talking about this show and other cable series’ with a couple 30 year old professional types the other day, and they agreed that all the best series shows on TV were all on anything but ABCCBSNBC. I don’t know how those 3 networks keep as much audience as they have left.
The marathon starts Wed 9/25 at 8pm Eastern. Not Tuesday.
I like ‘The Godfather’ so does that mean I can’t find the Mafia repugnant? I like Macbeth so does that mean I can’t find murder unacceptable?
The show hardly “glorifies” his life.
His life has been in a shambles ever since he started. I don’t think there is one happy person in the entire cast of characters.
He has ruined his life, his family’s and his close relatives’.
And it’s still a great show.
It doesn’t glorify him at all. It shows his decline into evil and what happens when moral principles are abandoned.
