    Default Does anyone watch any AMC shows?

    I'm a huge fan of Breaking Bad, Mad Men, The Walking Dead and I did watch The first and second season of The Killing. I'm such a huge fan of the first three shows I mention though, so I wanted to see if anyone loved any of these shows as much as I did. Perhaps we can discuss, eh?

    Breaking Bad has set a new standard for television. Best show I've ever seen. I love it! The Walking Dead is mediocre quality-wise, but it's still really fun to watch.

    Never seen breaking bad, butnim really enjoy liking The Walking Dead. I really really don't like Shane at all and was do upset when Dale died. IMO it should've been Shane.

    Yea, I can't wait...they have that new character and she seems fucking awesome!

    I've been meaning to watch this show but I haven't heard much about it. How good is it? It looks kinda interesting.

    Right?! Next week is the last episode until 2013...I'm so saddened by this right now. I've also been watching 'The Wire' and it just doesn't compare to the full awesomeness that Breaking Bad provides for me.

    Never seen breaking bad, butnim really enjoy liking The Walking Dead. I really really don't like Shane at all and was do upset when Dale died. IMO it should've been Shane.
    I disagree with you on that one. I liked Dale but he was so much of a know-it-all. But I do think he was essential to the group and it's a loss that he's gone...not too much of a loss for me in terms of entertainment though. Shane for me was HUGE loss...first off, he's hawt and he was such a complex character I really hated to see him go. I liked that he just assumed the husband role for himself when his friend was gone and that he felt he would do whatever he had to for their safety.

    I'm not sure if I'm quoting properly...but I dunno how else to do it.

    Oh yeah, what about Mad Men? Does anyone watch that? Haha, I sounds like a t.v. addict right now...I promise I'm not, it's really just AMC shows. and maaaybe some reality guilty pleasures

    I enjoy both Walking Dead and Breaking Bad though I have to completely disagree with BB > The Wire.

    As I believe The Wire is by far the best series ever on television. HBO shows are just a different standard. The only thing BB does better is the actual action.

    Definitely the Walking Dead.

    I have much fun yelling at the screen for all their counter survival stupidity.

    I love the walking dead, i've heard amazing things about breaking bad but have yet to watch it.
    I also own TWD game, would not reccomend anyone purchase it though unless you enjoy epsodic gaming, I'm not a huge fan of TellTale game studios because they never release the next episode of the game on time, glitches, plot loopholes etc.

    The Walking Dead FTW!!! I wasn't a fan of dragging out the Shane ordeal, but so far its an awesome show. Can't wait for next season. I have a friend trying to talk me into watching Breaking Bad. She says its really awesome. I just might give it a try.

    No kidding, right?

    I mean, come on. ANY time they see a gun or ammo laying around they should be gathering every last bit of it! They have certainly been around enough military checkpoints that were overrun and more weapons as well, but they never seem to make this a priority. Also, so frequently using a gun when the silent weapons are a better option. Just stupid.

    In any case, I REALLY wish they had stayed true to the graphic novels a bit more. In the books, Andrea is one of my favorite characters, and she has a much better metamorphosis that her character goes through than on the show. The Andrea on the show is introduced to us as a sort of "tough / bitchy" type and it so doesn't work for me. Dale was great in the books, as well as his interrelations with Andrea, so I am sad to see that go. Probably my biggest complaint about the differences is that in the books we had a compelling, great black character in Tyrese, but in the show we have been given T-Dog. It is not the fault of the actor playing T-Dog, and I certainly feel bad for him, but as far as I can tell he is basically reduced to the "token black guy". If things keep going this way, I wouldn't be surprised if they only gave him lines like "Daaaaaammmmnnnn!" or "You know dat's right".

    I loved Tyrese! He was such an interesting, dynamic character and so lovable! I also agree T-Dog is very much the token black guy :/ Who knows though, maybe he'll step up?? Andrea is my favorite character as well, and of course I love Rick, but I'm excited to start seeing Michonne!

    I've been thinking about how Breaking Bad is chilling in my Netflix and I haven't watched any episodes yet! I think maybe tomorrow that's all I'm gonna do is watch that show, if I get into it!
    Hurry up October, though....

    Well I saw the show before I read the books, so I can't say I have a perfect view of her, but I like her better in the books because she's definitely a more fully rounded character, and I like that out of ANY character.

    Finished watching Breaking Bad mid-season finale. WHAT AN ENDING? I don't wanna ruin it for the people who haven't seen it so I won't go too much into details (ugh, I wish I could though) but yeah it was awesome. Sad it won't be back until 2013. So I wanna read the books but I dunno where to get them. Do I have to purchase them? I've heard only good things about the comics themselves... a friend of mine refuses to watch TWD because he says it just doesn't do the actual story justice. I think that's also why it's a bit easier for me to watch...I don't have anything to compare it to and I kinda like it that way. To me, it's just a show about good ol' zombie apocalypse, and the good ol' idiots who have managed to survive through it all.

    Also I hear Merle is making a comeback in Season 3!

    You may be on to something...I'm almost done with Season 4 now and it's really starting to grow on me as time goes by. I love the way they introduce new characters and storylines...everything is so interconnected. And the ultimate message behind the show has never changed. I think the writers are geniuses.

    I am not some sort of purist that gets mad at any changes that are made between a book and a show, but at least some of the changes made in this particular show do not make a lot of sense to me. There is really no reason that they should have had to change any of the characters (although I DO think that Darryl is a great addition), or made changes to the story so far. The changes they did make to Andrea, and the death of one of the characters so far, has killed several upcoming storylines from the books, so it will be weird to see how things go from here.

    I guess I just want to say to these people, if it isn't broke, do not fix it!!!
