By: Bill Cushing – October, 2013 When Breaking Bad premiered in January, 2008 on AMC, there was very little fanfare.

By: Bill Cushing – May 2013 I hear people discuss the “Golden Age of TV” in referring to TV of the past. They refer to shows like Hill Street Blues, St. Elsewhere, and M*A*S*H, all great shows to be sure. But they came at a time when shows like that were few and far between. […]
