The last episode ever of the office. Personally I get how they ended it but it was just so different from the entire show. Literally biggest changes ever in the last couple eps to lead up to this. Without Micheal Scott I still thought the show had a chance and there were definitely still some good ones, but everything has to come to a end sometime.
 
Really enjoying Breaking Bad. I am on the 2nd episode now.
I gave up on Fringe. That's just not a show I want to watch when I am trying to wind down for the night.

Breaking bad is one of the few shows where the first season was really good and it gets even more amazing each one. Gotta hurry up man the new final season starts in a few months.

I just finished watching episode 6 of Season 2 last night and wow. There was 1 boring episode. I think episode 3 or 4 but its picking back up again. Last night was excellent.

The entire scene with the guy named "turtle" was just crazy. When I seen the head in the distance I was thinking no way, that thing is not on the back of a turtle is it? Then I was like wuuuuuutttt followed with lots of laughs. I have a turtle and plan to do something hilarious for that event.

Then the entire scene with the ATM was just wow. Especially with the young kid there and Jesse just handling the situation the way he did with the young kid. Turned out very good. Then at the end he was able to hook up with Jane. Great episode.

Haha Danny Trejo. All this Breaking Bad talk is making me want to go back and rewatch the end of season 2 and all of season 3.

I'm rewatching the first three seasons first, but working my way toward it.
 
Ah. I had never watched the first three seasons until earlier this year so I was ready to go for the new ones. Couldn't get any sleep for some reason last night so I called in sick today and watched the first six episodes of the new season. Just as funny as ever in my opinion.
 
Just finished up season 2 of Breaking Bad. Just wow.

Dang the last few episodes sure made me feel a lot of emotions toward Jesse. Happy for him for hooking up with Jane yet furious at him for getting her back into drugs. Then to top it off Walter lets her die right in front of him! So poor Jesse gets all cracked out doing heroin. That scene when Walter finds him and he is holding Jesse and he is crying was gut wrenching sad. I feel so bad for him yet so mad at him. I also cant believe Janes dad did not kill Jesse or choke him out or anything. Feel so bad for her dad too. Been trying all those years to help his daughter stay clean, then Jesse messes it up. Dang you Jesse. Poor Jesse. Show is killing me.

Hoping the next season gets funny and fun again because the last few episodes and most of the 2nd season were quite depressing.

It doesn't get quite that depressing again. That season basically was built around getting Jesse straight in the head, learning that his actions have major consequences. If you like Giancarlo Esposito's character (Gus) then you should enjoy the the next couple of seasons.

Oh man, this new season is a disappointment. They must have gotten new writers for this season and possibly the movie as well. All of the cameos and connections each episode has to the next are great, but the humor of Arrested Development has died. I used to laugh every minute during the previous seasons, but now I'm laughing once every five minutes in the forth season. I've stopped at the seventh new episode and going to watch the classics only.

Same production team. The actors all had previous contracts, so writing had to be done around their shooting schedules. The movie, if it happens, will have full flexibility to work the same as the old show. How future seasons, if they happen, are unknown how shooting will work until AD is their primary contract.

I would have imagined the writers had their own time away from the actors to work on the script. The actors are mainly given the script to rehearse and act out for recording.

But the scenes were limited to who they could get together. You couldn't write an interaction with GOB, Michael, and Lucille in an episode if Will Arnett was t available at the same time as Jessica Walter. And there were a few must-have scenes where they green screened in a character.

When creativity gets restrained in any way then you throw off the whole process. It's not an excuse if the season is bad (I haven't seen it yet and what I've heard is mixed) but it is an explanation for why it is so very different.

My brother-in-law is, sort of. Nothing big yet.

But I also listen to a ton of podcasts interviewing guys who are/were writers/actors. In this case, I just read this interview with show creator and writer Mitchell Hurwitz.

A lot of my college degree, telecommunications, involved production training and work, but I never went into it professionally, though I did interview for a production position locally a couple of years back.
