I just watched it! It was sweet. And it's funny how Bryan Cranston is such a sweetheart in real life.
I literally watched through my fingers.
I was saying, "Nonononononononono," the whole time.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And it's funny how Bryan Cranston is such a sweetheart in real life.
Emmett's undergoing a Cranstonian case of cognitive dissonance as he's watched the first three seasons of Breaking Bad and then just marathoned Malcolm in the Middle. (Which holds up pretty well. Dewey's Opera episode happens in S6 and it's hilarious.)

I'm at work so I can't find the link someone posted on Facebook to a YouTube vid that clipped together Cranston's epic MitM car freak out with one of Walter's. It's fascinating because you can see how Cranston can differentiate the characters and comic affect.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Having just finished season 1 of Breaking Bad, and having watched MitM pretty religiously for it first several seasons (at a certain point it lost the must-see-ness for me), I'm just flabbergasted at how good Cranston is at both drama and comedy.
I think Jon Hamm has that potential, but he's never had a comedic role as defining as Hal.

Should I try BB again? I watched the pilot and was not enamored and never went back.

It's extremely well crafted, and I love it a lot, but I think it might not be for everyone. But I don't know if the pilot is enough to hook you if you're gonna be hooked. I say try it again, yeah.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I vote yes -- it took me a couple of seasons before I tried it because, I think, I couldn't think of Cranston as anybody but Hal, and "cooks meth" not exactly on my list of interests.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
okay, y'all are people I respect. I will try again.
I tried "Copper" and could not stand it, so I have an opening in my tv schedule.

Yeah Copper had zero appeal to me. Good actors I think, but too much else wrong.

right?
I don't know how so much talent can produce something so boring. I don't get it.
