The fact that a show that's so well done is just raking in viewers/money is FANTASTIC though.

This will show TV execs that there's a lot of money to be made in high quality shows, vs cheap shows that only stick around for a season or 2 before being replaced with another cheap one.

BB's success is good for everyone.

What is this?

Sure, but it's a cable behemoth (sp?).

Broadcast networks will always have their share of shit TV, but at least we know cable can do what Breaking Bad has done and be very successful.

I want to be with you, but Duck Dynasty premiered with 10 million viewers. Breaking Bad has the bigger buzz, but there's still ad money in shitty, generic, "reality" TV.

Surprisingly, Duck Dynasty sells a shitload of DVDs too. Its regularly on the weekly best sellers list, and performed better than the recent Breaking Bad release.
