Well, watch the full 2 seasons. Game of Thrones is literally one hundred BILLION times the show The Walking Dead is, and Walking Dead is a pretty good show. It's the best thing on television and they're going into easily the strongest material the next 2 seasons.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT

Re: This or That
No, it really isn't. I've watched 3 seasons of it and it bores the everloving shit out of me. To be honest, AMC programming in general sucks. Mad Men and Breaking Bad are boring as FUCK, Walking Dead is great but it's not that great when compared to the top shows on other networks, Hell on Wheels isn't that great but it's ok. They don't have that HBO or Showtime level of quality no matter how hard they try. There's only 3 episodes of Breaking Bad that I've enjoyed, the first two episodes of the series, and Fly, season 3 episode 10. Other than that? Ain't nobody got time for that. It's a shame it started off so good because it got boring REALLY fast.
Headphones.
The Sopranos or The Wire?

I'll say The Wire.
Game of Thrones TV show or Game or Thrones books?
I am strongly against that paragraph. I do not like it. Though I know quite a few people who really like Game of Thrones, I don't watch it, but I've heard great things, I'm going to read book 1 first, and see if I want to continue in some way. Albeit that paragraph is shit.

Re: This or That
So how can you say Breaking Bad is better when you haven't even WATCHED it? At least I know what Breaking Bad is about.
The books are better, they have more details that the show couldn't include because of sheer scope and budget, but I prefer the tv show because I always prefer the television medium to reading, so I'm picking the tv show. Although the books are technically better in the sense that they're more descriptive. This is also somewhat of an analomy in tv because the tv series is VERY close to the books, at George RR Martin's insistence, as opposed to Dexter or Walking Dead where they just go totally off track (at least I understand that's what they did with TWD). Also, for the record, the books aren't called Game of Thrones, it's A Song Of Ice And Fire, and the first book in the series is called "A Game of Thrones". I'm not gonna be a snob about titles since you're new to the series but that's what it is.
Ron Swanson or Walter White?
Get this one right, please...

Walter White, I know for you that's not 'right', haha, but they are very close, basically a 'par', it could definitely change as Parks may be renewed - bloody should - and Breaking Bad is finished forever this summer.
Parks and Recreation or Homeland?
I am aware of the titles, I have book 1, but I was referring more to the series, thanks for your input, I know you're a big fan.
I haven't watched all 2 seasons of GoT, but I have watched some episodes, a good bit, up to where I was in my book at the time, and you haven't watched all 5 and a half seasons of Breaking Bad either, so, we'll agree to disagree, though you might come round/be enlightened sometime, haha,  .

Re: This or That
PARKS AND REC
Also Seasons 4-5 are by far the best of Breaking Bad, so I recommend continuing watching it. I do still love S 1-3, though.
Dexter or The Walking Dead

No, you're right, I haven't watched all 5 and a half seasons. I think THREE SEASONS in, I can determine for myself if the show interests me or not. I don't need to see all 5 seasons because I've seen 3 and none of them entertain me in the slightest. Even if I LOVED season 4 and 5, season 1 to 3 is MORE THAN HALF of the show's run.
Homeland or Dexter?

Homeland.
iPad or Laptop?
I wasn't saying it to say you're incompetent having watched only 3 seasons, I was saying it because you were making a point of me not having seen all of GoT, regardless of how much exactly, neither of us has wanted to see all of each of our favorite shows. I said we agree to disagree, I just think Breaking Bad is better, one does not simply dismiss Breaking Bad.

Comparing seeing all of a 5 season show to all of a 2 season show is a bit ludicrous. Especially when the 5 season show has more episodes per season. 2 seasons of a show allows you to fully process your feelings on it, if Game of Thrones were in season 5, I wouldn't be telling you to watch all of it because if you didn't like it in the first 2 you never would. I can process that I don't like Breaking Bad because I've seen MORE than enough to judge it on a fair scale, the story is continuing into another season, there's plot advances, etc. Sometimes the first season is the weakest, look at Parks. The first season is mediocre beyond belief but after that it's one of the funniest shows on television.
Fine, think it's better if you want, I think it sucks. Maybe sucks is the incorrect word but I get absolutely no enjoyment out of it, and I've given it a REAL chance. I can't get into it, period. So yes, one does simply dismiss Breaking Bad because I happen to be one.
I'll say an Ipad but I don't use either so I don't definitively know.
Archer or Futurama?
