CoolioD1 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Looking at the episode ratings on the AV Club, I'm pretty sure Breaking Bad Season 5 is the first season of tv never to get a grade lower than an A- on there. http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/tvshow/breaking-bad,37/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 No, terrible writing ruined TWD season 2. And 3. And you think the budget cuts had nothing to do with that? "Oh looks like we don't have enough money for zombies." "Let's just throw them on a farm and talk about stuff" "Great idea!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) BB was always a great show but imo the show really went to HOLY CRAP THIS SHOW IS EPIC with the Gus Storyline ending. The last part of this season had some of the best television I have seen. I always thought Game of Thrones Season 1 was the best television I had ever seen but the last part of this reason is beyond amazing. The show will live on as it has become part of the cultural landscape and as millions more watch it on netflix and on. Can't say anything anywhere as good is coming on till Game of Thrones. Watching Boardwalk Empire, Homeland, Downton Abbey for now. Edited September 30, 2013 by Lordmandeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, definitely a rare feat for a show. Edited September 30, 2013 by 4815162342 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamKendall Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 10.3 million ... DAMN, and that 6.7 million 18-49 would be apx 5.3 demo rating ... last years finale did 1.3 demo and 2.8 million total. So only 7.5 million viewers increase ... it's really a historic situation for a television show exhibiting this sort of growth in interest this late in the run. Even 5 years ago, something like this just wouldn't be possible due to Netflix not being quite as popular. Bravo to Breaking Bad BTW, my prediction elsewhere was like 7.5 million & 4.0 demo, so this is quite a huge shock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Up till Part 2 of this season, MAD MEN was AMC's most acclaimed show. It may well end up there again. It's fantastic -- I don't really see why BB should be compared to it (or vice versa), they're completely different shows. I love 'em both to death. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamKendall Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Mad Men from an 'awards' perspective has been the most acclaimed, but critically, I'd say since season 4 Breaking Bad eclipsed it. The metacritic ratings for BB are just absurd over the last two seasons. Mad Men was extraordinary for s1-3, maybe 4, but I feel it's stepped back just a little over the last 2 years. (I hate Megan, so that's probably part of my issues). Both are two of my 10 favorite shows ever ... and yes, as Tele said, they are completely different ... and I'm glad, Edited September 30, 2013 by Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
