    Breaking Bad
    Hello:

    If I started watching Breaking Bad from the first episode, how many hours would I be stuck in front of the TV?

    Several DAYS, (56 hours) assuming no comfort breaks..

    Watch Breaking Bad Online | Netflix gives a full listing of sessions and episodes.

    I picked it up during the end of the 3rd season (without seeing older episodes). I also read various recaps. No matter how you do it, it's is so worth it!I These last episodes so far are indescribably fantastic.

    It is addictive. We buy a lot of these type series on DVD and I usually try to make them last just watching one or two per week but I can't do it with this one. I have to have a fix no more than two days between or I go into withdrawal.
    If you watch two per day, at 49 minutes per episode and fast forward the intro, you will be done in seasons 1 through 4 in less than a month. I predict that you will love it. I think that I like the humor more than anything else. Best line I have heard so far (I just gotten into season 2 ): Star Walter's BIL, Hank the DEA agent refers to how bad his partners breath is by saying something like- "his breath would chase a buzzard off a sh*t wagon".

    I tried watching Breaking Bad and could not get into it. Now Sons of Anarchy I love as well as Orange is the new Black(?) think that is what it is called. It is about a woman's prison. I will tell you lots of nudity in it so not for kids!

    Hello mo:

    There's TOO many good shows right now.. Have you seen House of Cards?? Before Breaking Bad, THAT was my favorite.. Of course, I'm a political junkie.

    I will check out house of cards thank you for the recommendation. I love Netflix and want to get the whole series of SoA on DVD when I find a series I love that is what I do as I love the extended features that come with it. I have MASH on dvd and do watch it over and over.
    I also like all of the documentaries on Netflix. Very educational about issues going on in this world.

    I was wondering how you are doing. The last episode will be on Sunday evening. The 5th season second half has eight episodes, so 16 total. The first half of the season was available on Netflix August 2. Does this make sense? -- http://www.idigitaltimes.com/article...n-5-part-2.htm

    I'm addicted to Breaking Bad. Just started last week and am in season 4 already! So sad that Sunday will be the series finale. :(

    Hello again,

    For those of us who AREN'T following the show on the network, but are viewing on, say Netflix, HOW can we avoid finding out what happened in the final episode?

    It's going to be EVERYWHERE, isn't it?

    Hello Carol:

    I watched 53 of the 54 Netflix offers. I don't know HOW many after that, and I don't know WHEN Netflix will offer the balance. But, I know it's going to be pretty hard to avoid finding out what happened..

    Look. It's a matter of whether Walter White is bumped off or not.

    Hello, excon:

    There are 62 episodes. Tonight's is #62. You have yet to see the last half-season. And those should be seen in order.

    Yes, you are correct. The media will be full of the ending and if Walt is killed or not and by whom if he is.

    The last half-season episodes are so good, each in its own way. Even if you know how it all ends, those episodes are too good to miss, so if I were you, I would watch them when they are available. And then #62 will make perfect sense.

    Carol
