Bullz-Eye meets Bryan Cranston on the “Breaking Bad” set

When you’re an easily-amused TV critic, every day is filled with wonderful surprises which range from the arrival of an advance screener of an episode of one of your favorite shows to the opportunity to interview one of your favorite actors. Once in awhile, though, something arrives via E-mail which blows your mind completely…and, in this case, it was a personal letter from Bryan Cranston, who plays Walter White on AMC’s “Breaking Bad.”

Bryan Cranston - Breaking Bad

Dig this: Mr. Cranston kindly invited me – and when I say “me,” I actually mean all of the members of the Television Critics Association – to visit the set of “Breaking Bad.” Obviously, it was an offer that I could not refuse, nor could Bullz-Eye’s editor-in-chief, Jamey Codding, who was far too big a fan of the show to allow me to go alone if he could possibly get away with attending as well.

I’ve offered up a summary of our quick trip to Albuqerque over at the Bullz-Eye blog, so be sure to head over to check it out…and, of course, be sure to tune into AMC on March 21st when “Breaking Bad” kicks off its 3rd season. And read our weekly blog after each episode. And, for that matter, keep your eyes open for our review of the Season 2 set when it hits DVD on March 16th. (Spoiler: it’s probably going to be a rave.)

Yeah, that’s right: we love “Breaking Bad.” You got a problem with that?

“Breaking Bad” gets greenlight for third season

Good news for fans of Walter White. AMC has renewed the chemistry-teacher-turns-meth-cook drama for a third season.

Breaking Bad is AMC’s second straight original hit, following the critics’ darling Mad Men. From creator Vince Gilligan, Breaking Bad fuses comedy and drama and tackles the lines between morality and criminality.

While it may be tough to root for a meth cook, the fact that White (Bryan Cranston) has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and has a wife, a handicapped child and another baby on the way, it’s understandable that he’d turn to cooking crystal meth to make sure his kids can afford to go to college since he won’t be there to help.

The second season is even better than the first, and that’s quite the feat. I would like the creators to have a plan in place to wrap up the series in a season or two — this is not the kind of story that you want to drag out for seven or eight seasons. For the neophytes, I’d recommend this series to anyone who likes “The Wire” or “The Shield.”

Don’t miss Will Harris’ interview with Aaron Paul (who plays Walter’s partner in crime, Jesse Pinkman).
