I assume most who have seen Breaking Bad have already seen the holy trinity of telly:

The Sopranos

The Wire

Deadwood

The Wire still sucked, and I couldn't care less about Deadwood. :D

The Wire was awesome. Deadwood took a few episodes to grow on me but I ended up really liking it and was pretty bummed when it ended. You know a shitload about the golf swing but, clearly, you don't know jack about good TV. :-P <<<<<<< you're right, these thing-a-ma-jigs are pretty important. Six Feet Under was possibly the best TV show I have ever seen with honourable mentions to The A-Team and Magnum PI. :- D

Lol ... Haven't seen 5 seconds of either show, however, I think Erik is the first person I've heard say bad things about the wire.

Forgot about OZ it was trailblazer. Nurse Jackie is good too although I've only seen one season.

I know several people who agree. I know a few who hated Silver Linings Playbook too. :-D

I've actually been watching it for the first time. About halfway through the third season. I liked the first a lot, didn't care much for the second. Third somewhere in between. Falls well short of Breaking Bad for me. Some of the serialized stuff is interesting and I like a few of the characters, but I don't love it. Definitely not something I'll ever re-watch.

Seasons 3 and 4 are the best.

For me The Shield still rates as the most OMG ending of any TV series. Lets see tomorrow if Breaking Bad can top that.

Six Feet Under so far is the best final 10 minutes of all. Niagara Falls.

Yeah, I'd say that was the best finale I've ever seen. Anyone see Jessie on snl? It was short but very funny, I think.

Yep. Sucks that it's over, but they probably ended it at the perfect time. Left everyone wanting more...

    • Day 316 - More swings, full backswing and full finish.
    • Day 132: did some mirror work while watching TV. Worked on backswing stuff primarily. 
    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
