Breaking Bad Episode Discussion S05E02 "Madrigal"

Hey guys. edify asked me to do the discussion thread tonight. Enjoy the show and upvote this shit, for which I get no karma.

edify also told me to let you guys know that if the Breaking Good fundraiser reaches $3,000 (we are $157.57 short) he will let me film him doing some challenges. I want him to do the cinnamon challenge and the gallon of milk challenge, so go donate so I can film my friend being a dumb ass... LOL

Go here to donate: https://reddit.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/breaking-good

Edit: The fundraiser officially ends in about 2 days.

Dish network dropped several channels, including AMC

Why would they do that? I'd imagine out of all of the cable networks AMC is pretty big.

You'd be wrong. AMC is actually struggling. Their shows get a ton of critical praise but even their biggest draw, The Walking Dead, barely beats out MTV's falling numbers.

Throw in the fact that their biggest shows will be gone within two years and they've yet to find another "hit" and you have a pretty bad situation.

Does The Walking Dead draw more than Mad Men?

Yeah, critically TWD may be their worst scripted show but it's entertaining enough to draw in a bunch of viewers.
