Breaking Bad

The new season of Breaking Bad starts this Sunday. I was really looking forward to watching it. Now I can't.

I won't be able to watch the premiere because I'm a DISH Network subscriber. DISH Network dropped AMC on July 1 after deciding not to renew its contract "due to the channels high costs compared to their relatively low viewership." Thanks a lot.

I've been a fan of Breaking Bad and AMC's other popular show, Mad Men, since the first episodes. I will be keeping up with the show via episode recaps, message boards and months later when the DVDs appear on Netflix. Even though I will know what is happening, it won't be the same as watching it.

I'm very disappointed, as is my husband who is also a fan of Breaking Bad. But that's life. You don't always get what you want.

OMG! This would make me so mad, I adore breaking bad!! argh! I wonder if there's a way to stream episodes online somehow - if you're desperate enough, maybe look into it :)

Breaking Bad will be online, but I would have to pay for it. Amazon and Apple iTunes offer it for $2.99 per episode. I think I'll wait until it comes out on DVD.
