I'm stuck in a hotel that doesn't have AMC, so I'm outta luck with regards to watching episode 3 on TV as it airs -- how soon will episode 3 be posted online? :-)

Thanks!

You're in luck--no new episode this week. We're back next week though!

Here this country spends millions to fight drugs. Now, you people are making series and games about meth. You might as well just give them the drugs. Let all the kids and everyone know it is just fine to use all that crap. I see nothing good coming out of all this. I have not watched nor will I watch that show or anything like it.

FOOTBALL????????

I'm "getting the night off" because of FOOTBALL??????

Not everybody in this country paces the floor all week waiting to watch a stupid football game.

SOME of us look forward to something original, well written, and fresh (like, gee, I dunno---new episodes of Breaking Bad)

Now I have to wait another whole week before I can see part 3?

I remember the old days when ABC CBS and NBC were famous for hooking a viewer on a good TV series and then rescheduling it or moving the time slot time and time again and then wondering why the ratings went into the toilet.

Man, you used to be able to depend on some things. I'm not really happy about this. But of course, like any good drug (or TV series) I'll be back next week.

Okay, I'm over it.
But what would be nice next week is if you make it up to us fans and show a double feature.

Episodes 3 AND 4

That should make up for ruining a nice Sunday evening tonight.

I do understand the stradegy of course. Repeating the first two episodes so folks can catch up....but then,...heres the twist.....IF they really were die hard fans of the Emmy awards OR the football game and MISSED the show the first few times, what made you think they would care to be here tonight to watch the first two episodes anyway with the SUPERBOWL showing in the same time period??

Theres no reason you couldn't have shown episode 3 tonight (esp when the rest of the week it would be available online to anyone who had preffered football.That way you would have made the true fans happy and gained additional viewers later on.)

Sigh............

Wow! How original and real. The desisions that the father is making isn't too far from what could be going through any other persons mind....with the knoledge and cards that he's been delt in life. Sometimes we have to live with a double edged blade. I'm not condoning it..... but I understand.... I'll keep watching if you keep making it.
I work in a prison....the show's a popular topic. Real. Today .Funny. Sad...I hope he come out on top.
You've man'ed up! Tom

@TUTTLE: Thanks for hanging in there. Upcoming episodes are definitely worth the wait!!

God I love this series and watch it all the time even though I'm so ready for some new episodes. I'm just praying the writers strike ends soon before this series dies in it's tracks. I'm a little worried...remember "Frank's Place" it too was a black humor series that died due to the last writers strike...I'm still not over it. Regardless, the Breaking Bad Series is excellent and I sincerely hope it continues to flourish. Excellent producers, directors, writers, actors, camera work, music, everything is freaking awesome! Keep up the great work. (Now can I have a Mini-Motor Home? LOL!) P.S. Hank does need a bigger gun, no doubt about it!

Ok, wher is episode 3 its friday for goodness sakes, I know i missed last sundays show so what happened where is episode 3???????

@adams: Unfortunately we won't be able to post any more full episodes online. However, the show is available On Demand through most cable providers, and you can also get episodes on iTunes and Unbox (that's Amazon.com's service). I hope this helps!

T. This show tells how bad this drug is and shows how it messes up peoples lives. Good job not watching a single episode yet you think you know what it's about and you feel you have to leave a negative comment. Good job T. Thank you for your lesson in morality. /slapsface

Hi Clayton,
This news doesn't help much. But I do understand the you have to make some money. You might want to post on the main page that breaking bad will not be posted on your site any more. I don't think $2 is too much to ask so you might as well promote the fact that the episodes are on iTunes and link to them, instead of forcing the fans to comb through the blogs to find out the show wont be on your site any longer.

I cant believe you guys made a game out of making Meth. What is the matter with you?

I too have been looking for Episode 3 every week. I agree that you should link to iTunes. This will increase your revenue from that venue.

I caught episodes 1 & 2 and then Comcast went digital and I lost half my stations. I refuse to pay more for their digital service just so I can pay even more money for analog converter boxes or to trash my old TVs and buy new ones. It isn't worth it for the handful of stations that occasionally have something worth watching. I'm one of the growing number of people turning to the Internet for TV

For those of you who don't like the drug content: Art imitates life, and in this case it looks like life is hell. It doesn't look like fun, it looks like pain. I hate meth - I've lost several friends because of it, but meth use is reality. You can't make something you don't like go away by prohibiting art and discussion of the topic. Read Fahrenheit 451 for an education on the arguments against censorship.

It's hard to believe that anyone could view this fabulous series as glamorizing meth use. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Look at Pinkman (I'm on the verge of feeling sorry for him), a screw-up kid who seems to have the very beginnings of doubt about the sleazy life he's living and the turmoil he caused his own family. Most of the people he knows are losers too--he's like a bee on roller skates trying to climb the side of a greased jar.

As for poor Walt--just tonight I watched Ep. 5 and learned that he had been an x-tray protein crystalographer -- a highly specialized field; there are probably a handful of these people in the world--and yet he ended up teaching high school chemistry. The family dynamics are riveting, this poor man sees his only way out of this world and to leave his family something along the way is by cooking meth. His health insurance sucks, his pride (and perhaps an earlier mystery romance) keep him from accepting the grant from Gray Matter. Regardless of what he does, he's going to die anyway, and is doing the best he can. That doesn't make it right and he knows it, but the pathos--my heart aches for him and the burden he's carrying. His wife comes across as a controlling bitchy type I haven't been able to like yet.

Alexis- good post. Yes, some knee-jerks think that any TV show or book or movie that even mentions drug use is automatically "glamorizing" it. Don't even talk about a problem and maybe it will go away, is the view some dimwits take. I see Jesse Pinkmans in for rehab treatment every day. They come in all colors and from all walks of life. Two things that meth cooks have in common- they are hooked on the fast tax-free cash (and usually addicted to the drug itself), and they think they have no other options of making a living. We who work in rehab can get them off the crank and help them through the withdrawals, but that's just half the battle. How do you help someone adjust to going from an income of thousands of dollars a week (tax-free) to working at the car wash for minimum wage?

As scared as Walt got watching Tuco beat the crap out of one of his own and as deadly as he now realizes this is, the money has now gotten the best of him! Walt's drug of choice, CASH! Greed has toppled many, how long can Walt hang in there? For the sake of this series, let's hope it's a long time!

Hi, I'm hooked on this show, however i've only seen the last 4 episodes and i haven't seen the first one or i think the second. How or where can i see the first few episodes. Please help.
adam.

@adam: The show is available in its entirety on most On Demand services through your cable provider. If that's not available for you, you can download full episodes on iTunes and Amazon.com's Unbox. Finally, AMC is playing encores of the first season every night at 10 PM ET.

Hope that helps!
