I expected The Shield or Rescue Me or The Andy Griffith Show, something. Big Bang Theory? Friends?

Might as well throw Moesha and Grey's Anatomy in there as well.

It's what his preference is...I'm not sure you're making a convincing argument to change it. :)

Forgot about The Shield and Any Griffith, I guess those round out my top 10. I also like The Americans and the first couple seasons of SOA.

Have no idea what Moesha is and hate Dr/hospital Shows.

If I enjoy one show over another obviously I think it's better.

There is a difference between enjoying something more and thinking something is actually better, in some circumstances at least.

Like I enjoy a movie like Star Wars more than I enjoy Shawshank Redemption, but SR is the better movie.

I'm just looking to be entertained.

Hank reclassified "Heisenberg" as a "monster" after the prison purge...if he had pegged Walt BEFORE that, he may not have been as bent on his destruction.

Hmmm....I don't really think Hank cares that Walt killed criminals in prison.

Hank was every bit as prideful as Walt. The thing that pissed Hank off more than anything is that Walt had duped him for a year.

That's a tough one. I didn't watch a lot of TV when I was younger. But in no particular order here are some shows I liked much better.

Mash
Friends
Jag
Call of Duty (never heard of it)
Walking Dead (good show, but nowhere near my top 10)
Sopranos (great show)
Falling Skies (no idea)
Big Bang Theory

About all I can name off the top of my head. I guess it's a generational thing, my son loved BB.

The bolded picks suggest to me that I should never talk to you again.

I think he cared...he was in total shock afterwards. Before that he was chasing something totally different.

I think he cared in that it was tying up loose ends that he wanted to pursue, making the case harder to solve. Hank was all about the job and he never really cared about right or wrong.

Remember when Hank thought Walt was going to kill Jesse at the meetup, and had no issue using Pinkman as bait? Even when Gomez called him on it.

Yeah, I don't see what the big deal is. I liked BB the first 2 maybe 3 seasons, it was ok. Not great but ok.

Don't worry my friend, I feel the same way. I watched it after the series ended, and maybe the hype hurt it for me, but it was just meh too me. Of course saying this will cause BB fans to act like you just ate their child.

Yeah, but he didn't say "I have history with Jesse." He said, "He's a low-life criminal, etc."

Just like the fools in jail.

I actually really wish I had watched this from its inception.

I'm glad I didn't because then I would have had to wait so far in between to watch the next episode, like how we have to wait for TWD. I binged watched season 1-5 of BB in like 2-3 weeks lol. Then I watched season 5 as it went.

I give his character a little more credit apparently...agree to disagree.

Haha. I'm just going off what he says. He gave the reason why he didn't care about Jesse. Even if he wants Jesse to die because they have history, that still makes him a prideful, vindictive, dare I say evil f***.

Jesse had embarrassed him professionally. So had Walt.

I just think the hype machine hurt it for me way too much. If had watched from when it first started I think I might have enjoyed it more.

The 'hype machine' problem only works if the event/concert/episode/movie doesn't live up to the hype. BB did in every way. Just because something has hype doesn't mean the work is somehow tainted.

It didn't for me. I didn't say it was tainted. I'm saying it being hyped up to me by people for a few years, probably hurt my outlook on it. I probably would have viewed it differently if I had watched it from the jump.

I'm proud to say that I watched every episode on its first showing including the world premier of the pilot episode. I have to admit that it gives me an irrational sense of pride or ownership of the series. Thus, it probably skews my view of it. As it is, it is my all time favorite show.
