Chris Rock or Stephen Wright?
Chris Rock, I'm sure. He was really good.

The show gets better and less funny at the same time. It's weird.

Breaking Bad is the best show on TV. It's not even close.

I have to go with Sons of Anarchy but you can't go wrong either way. The Shield is the best show of ALL TIME.

The 39 year old actor who played Spartacus in Showtime's pulpy series died of lymphoma.

What a bummer. I really enjoyed him (and everyone else in the show) hamming it up while chopping people in half, cursing like bikers, and having lots of sex. The new guy will probably be just fine - there's not exactly a whole lot to do other than overact and look really fit - but all the same, it's no good seeing people go during the primes of their lives.

Man Walt's an [expletive]. It's painful to watch Jesse keep reaching out for him. For a character that was supposed to be killed off, Jesse sure has become the heart of that show.

They've both flipped spots once or twice, but yeah, lately, Walt has made very poor decisions w/ Jesse. Not gonna end well for him.

I recently heard that
[SHOW]
Tuco wasn't supposed to die, but the actor found another role (The Closer, maybe?), so they killed him off and replaced him with Gus Fring.

Gus Fring almost never existed.

If that's true, that's a stroke of good luck. Tuco was a pretty typical pscho gangster character - an amplified Joe Pesci.
