Malcom In The Middle Dad is Breaking Bad And It’s SO Good
If you haven’t seen Breaking Bad yet, that’s not good.
Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston, who is better known for playing the dad in Malcom In The Middle, plays Walter White, chemistry teacher diagnosed with terminal cancer who hooks up with an ex-student Jesse Pinnkman to cook meth together in a Winnebago in the desert in order to pay for his cancer treatments on the DL. Seems normal, right?
Now that the show is a hit, the story line has his cancer in remission of course and all hell is breaking loose with all lies he has been telling his wife and family and the double life he has to lead. And to make family life and the story even more complicated, his wife just had a baby girl.
Cranston takes this edgy dark comedy to new heights. Aaron Paul who plays, Walter’s druggy side kick Jess Pinkman, is a brilliant actor and has been in a myriad of movies and other cameo appearances on various TV shows. I see MUCH bigger rolls
headed his way.
Jesse and Walter
I was afraid that this show was just too strange for it to be picked up again, but the show surprised fans by picking up many awards and nominations in both 2008 and 2009. With great writing, excellent acting and each episode darker than the last, I was thrilled to hear that it will be returning for another season. Breaking Bad is top notch and full of balls. Yeah that’s right I said it. Full Of balls.
AMC took a chance with Breaking Bad and it may just end up to be the next Twin Peaks (although not as kooky or spooky) of dark comedies, minus the log lady and Bob.
Wikipedia has it in a nut shell:
American television drama series created and produced by Vince Gilligan. The series is broadcast in the United States and Canada on the cable network AMC. It premiered on January 20, 2008, and completed its first seven-episode season on March 9, 2008. The show’s 13-episode second season premiered on March 8, 2009. A third season was announced in April 2009.[1]
Set and produced in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Breaking Bad revolves around Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a struggling high school chemistry teacher with a teenage son who has cerebral palsy (RJ Mitte), and a pregnant wife, Skyler (Anna Gunn). When the already tense White is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, he breaks down and turns to a life of crime, and starts producing and selling methamphetamine with his former student Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) in a desire to secure his family’s financial future.[2]
Breaking Bad has received widespread critical acclaim, particularly for its writing and Cranston’s performance on the show, and won two Emmy Awards for its first season in addition to numerous other awards and nominations.
This happens to be one of my favorite shows on TV right now, if not my favorite. And although the season finale has just aired, I am already counting the days till its return. Plus it aires on Sunday night — a DEAD night for anything decent on TV.
You have plenty of time over the summer to catch up on season one, so you can be brought up to speed on what has already gone down in this show before next season starts. If you appreciate quirky,dark comedies with end-of-the-show cliffhangers to boot, this show is for you.

‘Breaking Bad’ is the BEST show on television. Every aspect about the production of this series is excellent, and Aaron Paul’s performance in the season finale broke my heart. He needs to win an Emmy for his role as Jesse. Simply amazing.

The whole cast of Breaking Bad is brilliant, but Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are truly deserving of the best actor and best supporting actor emmys this year. Bryan Cranston proves he is a chameleon when you compare his great performance in Malcolm in the Middle and his brilliant performance in this show. The same goes for Aaron Paul, who is also very convincing as a straight-laced ex-Mormon on Big Love. It was a great thing when they decided to keep Jesse instead of kill him off like they had originally planned back in Season 1.
This show deserves pretty much every award that it is eligible for. It is the best show on television.
