Breaking Bad is a cool show but you can't have as many just flat-out annoying characters (Skylar, Marie, Hank) or characters who add nothing to the show (the disabled son) and be considered the greatest show of all time or anywhere near it.
Is there a single scene primarily involving those characters that can be cited as an example of what makes the show good?
I know the vast majority of tv shows absolutely suck, but I just don't see how people can view BB as anything better than the best show on right now.
Comparing The Wire to Breaking Bad is like comparing The Godfather to Analyze This.
