    Ugh

    That's disappointing. There is never anything worth watching on CBS.

    Jesus why?

    And how many more detective shows can possibly be jammed onto television?

    Will not be watching, but congrats on your money Gilly.

    Not gonna work on CBS, Breaking Bad is about showing you the dark and gritty, which is allowed on Cable TV. I'd hate to see the network suits water down and sanitize his work for mainstream ratings.

    It'll be interesting to see how Gilligan's creativity meshes with network TV.

    Good for CBS though - the rich get richer. I think NBC needed to get him lol

    It wouldn't take a mentalist to find something to watch with your bad self or your good wife.

    CBS does a good job with their crime dramas so I think this will fit right in. Looking forward to seeing it.
