Drug dealer gets half his body blown off, cool show that! Nipples, are you insane? Think of the children!

There are a lot of great shows that were/are on AMC and FX that would have been so much better on a premium network.

The one that really stands out for me is Mad Men.


You watch Fargo? Great show. There is a shit-ton of symbolism and hints to the direction that make is amazing to watch.

It is one of those shows that rewards attention and intelligence. Rather than beat you over the head with a ham fisted point, they slip it in there and trust you are smart enough to get it.

I think it's better than BB.

I liked BB but I think all 3 seasons of Fargo, Better Call Saul, and Mad Men are all better.

Better Call Saul has been very good, and nice to see some of my favorite BB characters again.

I thought the past season of Fargo was the weakest, although the main villain was great.

Titties were the last thing on my mind while watching BB. Seeing Skylar killed on the other hand...

I had a dream where Skyler and Walt Jr beat each other to death with Jr's crutches.

I woke up refreshed, and in a fabulous mood.

I couldn't avoid laughing every time Ewan's Scottish accent came through his attempts at a Minnesota accent. He's not the best actor.

I also had some trouble with the girl's recovery ability after taking a beating, and then an arrow in the leg. Also Ewen's car just miraculously starting after it stalled in the last episode was a bit head scratching.

I thought season 1 through 3 was pretty good. The rest was just hyped up noise IMO. I think a lot of people only really "liked" it because they were told by anyone and everyone that they should like it and it should be their favorite show ever or they were told "you have shitty taste in tv shows" or "I'm sorry that they can't all be 2 Broke Girls for you" or "You bigly have no fucking idea what you are talking about"

As the show continued, it went from being gritty, grounded, and realistic, to over the top and cartoonish. The episode, for example when they put the big magnet in the truck to destroy the laptop with evidence on it. It was like a mission from a Grand Theft Auto game. Also the time where they had the train heist. And Jesse being kept as a meth making slave by some Nazi's who killed his girlfriend for no reason?...

Not to mention some of the stuff with Skylar and Marie was Young and the Restless-esque.

Overall it's a very good but flawed show with at least 10 too many episodes. These days there are plenty of shorter series with leaner and tighter storytelling.

I heartily concur

Fargo season 3 was the weakest, it took awhile to get into it. Still better than 99.9% of TV.

Mr. O'Clam's complaints are all legit.

I saw you posted this, and I was hoping it was a trashing of Houston, because I love when you do that. You disappoint me.

Jessie could make meth at 92-96% purity, while Todd topped out at 70% or so. They killed his girlfriend because he tried to escape/refuse to cook and said they'd kill her child next.

It did get progressively more over the top, but it kinda always was. The scene where Walt threw the fulminated mercury and blew up Tuco's spot was pretty over the top and that was season 1.

Breaking Bad is the most over rated show of this generation. Titties wouldn't have changed that fact, but, would have made the show slightly more bearable, I suppose.
