Breaking Bad starting noon on Friday December 27 -Tuesday December 31 @ 2:03 am. pilot thru finale.
 
I love you.

I would have missed the start of this and been completely shut out again. We've been planning on getting Netflix just for this, but now I just set up a series recording. This is so great

And oh, hey, no 2010 spoilers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I can't get my Dish DVR to record more than 20 episodes on one timer. Any thoughts?

Do they have a "series recording" option? That's how I set mine up, but it was Comcast.
 
No. I can only record "all episodes," an option that only allows 20 episodes to be recorded under that timer. I had to individually record the last 30, or so.

Tonight they are playing a Godfather back-to-back-to-back marathon. The movies run about 4:30 each with commercials. GF II just started, it will run into III at 2:30 a.m.
 
Setting up to record all 62 episodes. May have to kill out a few movies to open some space.
 
The commercial at the end of the first episode is for a substance abuse clinic.

I meant I'm hooked on the show, not meth. :D

I'm recording, but I know I'm going to max out the DVR unless I figure out what I can purge.
Hate to shed the 53 episodes of Bonanza I've got on there. Besides, they're not HD so they don't take much space.
Damn. Tough choices.
 
For those of you wondering how to get all the episodes, DVR the back half of the last season and spend the $7.99 on Netflix for the first four and a half seasons, which are already up there.
 
So it's showing on the network that originally aired it, but I'm noticing they're bleeping out certain words. Is that because they're now showing it during the day or did they do this in the original run at night?

They bleeped out the F-bombs the two or three times they used them. Most of the "assholes" and "****s" seem to remain, though.

I'm wondering if they've reinserted some deleted scenes. Just caught a scene near the end of "ABQ" (the Season 2 finale) where the surgeons remove Walt's tumors. Can't remember seeing that before. I thought he just went under and then we headed to the wrap-up sequence.

I believe the last half of season five will be released on Netflix in mid-February.

That would be surprising. Usually they release them around August or so but that was with new episodes left to air so maybe they will put them up earlier. I hope so. That finale was awesome.
 
Scanning the guide, somebody at AMC ****ed up the order, or should have adjusted things a hair. A couple of the best, most pivotal episodes -- "Half Measures" and "Face Off" -- are at decidedly off-peak hours.
"Half Measures" in on at 4 a.m. EST tonight, and "Face Off" is at 2 a.m. Sunday.
I know they're in order and all, but shoot, run an extra episode of "Three Stooges" and pick up with those episodes on Sunday and Monday morning.
