I was in Turkey when Breaking Bad started airing on CNBC-e, in original, subtitled. This was the only channel with such features, and I was glad it exists and bought distribution rights for many more. I had a lot on my hands then, so, I wasn't all eyes and ears watching the pilot.

I have compiled such a list on imdb, called "The Best SNL People", consisting of fifty four actors and actresses with a permanent role in the show, not just hosts or invited guests. I have read a lot of reviews about this marvelous show. I don't … [Read more...]
