The University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communications announced today that Breaking Bad has been selected to receive a Peabody Award. This year's eclectic list of 36 recipients, ranging from ABC's Lost to the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony, represents what the University calls "the best in electronic media."

"Bleak, harrowing, sometimes improbably funny," the presenters said of Vince Gilligan's "thorny" AMC drama, "the series chronicled the consequences of a mild-mannered, dying science teacher's decision to secure his family's future by cooking methamphetamine."

The award will be presented at a ceremony in New York City's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on May 18.

The awards wont stop here and last years awards was only the beginning. So long as there are fans and the critics continue to rave about Breaking Bad AMC will continue to be a Nations favorite.

A Peabody is an INCREDIBLE accomplishment for a show that has only aired a dozen or so episodes at the time of the award - one made BEFORE the latest OUTSTANDING "Peakaboo" episode, your BEST YET. Hats off to EVERYBODY at BB for an achievement of which you ALL can be proud !!!

All people deserve very good life and personal loans or just car loan will make it much better. Because people's freedom relies on money.
