Those are the four best TV shows of the past decade, says Chuck Klosterman. But according to him, "Breaking Bad" stands above the rest. "I suspect Breaking Bad will be the least remembered of these four shows and will probably be the least influential over time," he says. "Yet there's one profound difference between this series and the other three, and it has to do with its handling of morality: Breaking Bad is the only one built on the uncomfortable premise that there's an irrefutable difference between what's right and what's wrong, and it's the only one where the characters have real control over how they choose to live."
"There are no overproduced glamorous outings," says Mary McNamara, "no sound-track manipulated showdowns, no manufactured feuds — everyone in the pilot has the easy genial mien of friends helping out an odd but beloved neighbor. There's even a trio of local musicians providing a transitional tune. The result is an occasionally weird, occasionally hilarious show that is simultaneously a window into the life of an eccentric performer and a wickedly fun send-up of the genre, dating all the way to Paris Hilton and 'The Simple Life.'"
Dennis Leary's Tommy Gavin has evolved so much he's begun to sound like Denise Leary, as James Poniewozik points out: "In the return episode," he writes, "Tommy goes on a long riff about celebrities who endorse products, not an unbelievable thing for a firefighter to joke about, but so close to Leary's non-'Rescue Me' material that it took me away from the character."
Danson, surprisingly, will replace Laurence Fishburne as "CSI" supervisor — while staying on as a cast member on HBO's "Bored to Death." According to Deadline, Danson was first approached two weeks ago. "From the moment we all started talking about the role, it was clear he couldn't be more perfect," says exec producer Don McGill. "Intelligence, wit, warmth, depth of character and emotion, he brings it all. And now he'll have to bring latex gloves, too."
"It's not that his shows," says James Poniewozik, "were secretly more sophisticated than they claimed to be: they were broad comedies with wacky misunderstandings, coconut phones and theme songs (which he wrote himself) that told you exactly who all the characters were and how they got together. But Schwartz had a knack for the kind of premise, simple but flexible, that would provide endless setups and hit a sweet spot of audience identification."
That's according to Molly Lambert, who adds: "It's like we won't notice people are just standing around doing expositional dialogue as long as somebody is getting whipped or drawn and quartered in the corner." PLUS: PLUS:
