Here's to Jane Parsons in Breaking Bad.
Take that to the Meth lab Vince Gilligan!
Jane Parsons is a Bad winner!
Got room for Jane out here in Las Vegas. She can set up shop right now. Go Jane!
I love this video!
The sound of thunder will never be the same for us again.
Jane Parsons video creative tribute has made us new fans of the show Breaking Bad! I did not know this show existed until about two weeks ago. Since seeing Jane Parsons video we have programmed Breaking Bad in our Tivo as a Season Pass show. Breaking Bad is up at the top of the show priority list on Tivo so it gets taped!
Who gives a rats ___ about The Unit or the finale of Celebrity Apprentice. Breaking Bad is better than anything that conflicts in the tv schedule. Yeah, we could tape the show later, but then we'd miss the first showing of Breaking Bad. Cannot do that!!!
Sunday nights will never be the same again and will never boring as long as Breaking Bad is on tv. Jane Parsons on Breaking Bad season 3 will make Sunday night viewing all the sweeter. We will take that to the Meth lab and watch it!
We cannot wait until next Sunday......
Ooohhhhh, being Bad rocks.
Jane Parsons rules.
Jane Parsons is a Grand Prize Winner!!!
Got that Vince Gilligan and AMC et. al...
Okay, I need to play fair. Forgive my who gives a rats ___ comment I wrote about the other two shows mentioned above. They are great shows too in their own way. It's just Breaking Bad is different and great in a really great way. Breaking Bad has a message that is important and impressive in its depiction about Meth. Jane Parsons portrayal of Walter White's message hits home with such power and has made us fans of not only Breaking Bad, but also of Jane Parsons too!
Clovis84 says go go happy feet!
Janes, you're still the baddest fifth grade teacher I know! Your video rocks! Congratulations on making the finals.

Wow! Another day and another viewing of Jane Parsons Breaks Bad Tribute.
Where can we get a DVD of Jane Parsons excellent "This is the First Day ... monologue?"
By far the best put together and most realistic.
This is the most original, creative and relevant of the finalists. Great work, Jane!
Very authentic! True to the show!
The "HOLA AMC" is awesome! All you needed was the severed head! Good luck to Jane!
Way to go, Jane!
The only thing that would improve this show is a walk-on by Jane Parsons.

Good luck Jane,
*******FINAL ROUND
(Once Again)
***First and Foremost I would like to express deep appreciation to all those who have supported my BB efforts by either voting, leaving a positive comment or both. Even to any negative responses that may arise, thank you for your different views and perspectives. Thus far, it's been a highly entertaining contest. I've been honored to compete amoungst some very creative contestants who have left admiration, smiles, frowns, and even question marks on our faces at times through there well thought out re-creations of Walts provided monolgues.
*******To AMCTV, I'd like to show appreciation for deciding to provide the opportunity for a contestant to win a walk-on role onto Vince Gilligans Breaking Bad Series, along with $1000. The desicion to distribute 10 copys of the series to first prize winners is also generous.
*******To Vince Gilligan I'd like to express my sincere gratitude as well. The show is extremely intriguing and well written. You've mastered the ability to keep the audience on the edge of there seat. The show is undeniably entertaining, moreover, I've seen an interview in which you've stated that the purpose of the show isn't to glorify breaking bad (going that route) but to bring to the surface the fact that there are always consequences to the decisions we choose. That message is well recieved. I desire to contribute to the vision that has already been set into motion. I look forward to working with you in the near future if yourself and the accompanying panel of representatives decide I'm the best choice in regards to further business relations.
*******Thank Everyone once Again & KEEP VOTING!
Thanks & Good luck to all co-contestants
It's obvious Jane loves this show!
SUCKS THAT THIS LADY WAS ABLE TO CHEAT INTO THE TOP 20 AND NOW HAS A CHANCE TO WIN THE CONTEST. NOT FAIR AT ALL.
JANE- WE ALL KNOW YOU'VE BEEN CHEATING
What a beautiful gift to be so incredibly talented and forward thinking. Jane's video captures the essence of what Breaking Bad is all about. Her creative take on BB from episode one to the most recent show is beyond original, it is relevant to theme and shares her gift of amazing story telling. Jane's portrayal of Walter White is simply perfection. Great job Jane Parsons.

Oh my, the last day to watch your delightfully bad video. What to do after the vote is closed tomorrow. Hmmm, must wait for Vince Gilligan's incredibly difficult task to pick his favorite. Well, we know our favorite and it is Jane Parsons. We just pray Vince Gilligan's decision is for you Jane Parsons. :)
Wonderfully creative and talented.
I loved this video the best.
Jane Parsons is Walter White!
Excellent and expressive from beginning to end.
Jane you are fantastic. I look forward to seeing more of your incredible video dramas. You are amazing.
Check out the photo of Walt White standing in the desert holding his gun, then look at the photo of Jane Parsons in the opening of her video. One in the same. They say we have a twin out there somewhere. Walt White your twin lives in Fresno, Ca., and her name is Jane Parsons.
This is my pick to win Mr. Gilligan's grand prize.
A BIG, BRIGHT, red apple to the teach! A video with polish that's smooth on the eyes and goes down sweet. You're my pick of the contestants and I thank you for turning a sterile monolog into a dramatic and juicy performance that radiates from your eyes. "The Eyes have it", and so do you Jane.
You might want to think about acting professionally as your 2nd career :)
All my best in your endeavors!

Excellent use of mimicry.
Terrible use of originality.
Bet you're a fun teacher, though.
Creative, original, & relevant!
All this and more.
Jane's video entertains and Breaks Bad.
Excellent! :)
Honk!
Congrats to the turtle.... ahh... I mean, Jane.
I love the look of the video. It does a good job mimicking the show but I really wish it had more originality and that the it was more based on actual acting but then again the turtle did win my heart and it is cool that Jane's a teacher.
Congratulations--You Rock!!! From a fellow Fresno dweller!
