A show glorifying the making and selling of meth. They can have it. They like bad teeth dont they?

Let me hazard a guess - you've never seen this show; correct? You couldn't be further from the truth. And this is probably the greatest TV show (series) ever; everyone associated with it deserves every award their industry has to offer.

Well, this took an unexpected turn.

I'll allow it.

Go on, Backstrap.

 

[CHenry]

I've seen every episode, and it's a good show. That being said, it isn't on the same level as M*A*S*H (imo)
