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.

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.
