Your choices are:
- Mad Men
- Breaking Bad
- The Walking Dead
Which is the best show among these three? _________________ Courage doesn't always roar.

I have not seen Mad Men, so I guess I am blind to this question. But between the other two, my choice is Breaking Bad. So intelligent. And as depressing as it may be, it is based on reality, which I prefer to the story behind The Walking Dead. _________________ Courage doesn't always roar.

Haven't seen mad men either.
Breaking bad is somewhat better than walking dead, just takes longer to get into. But both series are really good. _________________ Kobe |

I've never seen Mad Men, would anyone recommend? What it's actually about?
I watched the first 2 seasons of Breaking Bad, and I did like it, but never really loved it like some do.
Walking Dead for me is the one, love it, it can be kind unpredictable too which is cool, they don't mind killing off just about anyone _________________ Lakers, Chargers, Dodgers, Arsenal FC.

I don't think the Walking Dead belongs in the conversation. Breaking Bad and Mad Men are the two best scripted hourlongs on TV. If I was told I could only have one or the other, I'd pick Breaking Bad. _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

It's an atmospheric, character driven story about people working at an ad agency in the 1960s, with a lot of the storylines being driven and influenced by the social mores of the time. _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

Breaking Bad is second only to The Wire IMO. _________________ http://chickhearn.ytmnd.com/

First off, I'm surprised that so many haven't seen Mad Men. About to begin it's 6th season, on Sunday, the show has been so critically acclaimed that I would think any fan of Breaking Bad would seek out Mad Men.
I prefer Mad Men to Breaking Bad, mostly because of the style and depth of characters. But, BB definitely has more of a "what the hell is going to happen next" immediacy to it, that raises the blood level when watching. |

Watched some of the first season of Mad Men and found it uninteresting.
Can't speak to the Walking Dead because I haven't sat down to watch it. I have caught bits here and there because a few of my coworkers have it on here at the offices, and while they speak highly of it and enjoy it, from what I have seen it isn't something that really strikes me as good as the hype.
I do watch Breaking Bad, and think it's awesome. It's original, creative and very well done on all levels. I really can't see how I would find those other two on its same level even if I watched them routinely. |

Walking Dead isn't on the same level as MM, BB, The Wire, Sopranos, or The Shield. It's fun to watch, but the acting and characters and plot are just not that deep. |

Breaking Bad takes "unpredictable" to the Nth level. They also are not afraid to kill off just about anyone, and they do so in far more creative and dramatic ways than zombies. |

There were episodes here and there prior to the 4th season that kept me interested, but the show made the leap to one of the best ever in the 4th and 5th seasons. |

"One Minute" was great.
And the finale of season 4 was insanely good. _________________ Courage doesn't always roar.

I guess I'm in the minority here. I watch Mad Men and Walking Dead but have YET to watch Breaking Bad. I can say confidently that Mad Men is my favorite show; the depth of characters, symbolism, and script are technically flawless. But I'll definitely have to give Breaking Bad a watch on Netflix _________________ When you do something that you truly, truly love doing, you find yourself wanting to do it all the time.
