Listen: Firewall & Iceberg Podcast No. 14
Daniel Fienberg and Alan Sepinwall discuss 'Breaking Bad,' 'Happy Town' and more
It's time for another Wednesday installment of The Firewall & Iceberg Podcast.
It's Alan Sepinwall and my 13th consecutive week of on-time podcasts, but our last week podcasting from different online venues because, as you've already read, I hope, Sepinwall is coming to HitFix.
In a lean-and-mean 30:20 podcast ("Lost" was a repeat and "American Idol" was too dull to be worth the time), we mostly discussed ABC's new drama "Happy Town" and gave a midseason report on "Breaking Bad."
Here's the breakdown:
Sepinwall's coming to HitFix -- 00:00 - 02:15
"American Idol" -- 02:35 - 04:20
"Happy Town" -- 4:25 - 11:40
Reader Questions ("Lost"-ish and "Survivor") -- 11:50 - 21:30
"Breaking Bad" -- 22:00 - 29:00
As always, you can subscribe to The Firewall & Iceberg Podcast over at the iTunes Store, where you can also rate us and comment on us. [Or you can always follow our RSS Feed.]
And here's this week's podcast...
A long-time member of the TCA Board and a longer-time blogger of "American Idol," Dan Fienberg writes about TV, except for when he writes about movies or sometimes writes about the Red Sox. But never music. He would sound stupid talking about music.

I totally agree with you, Breaking Bad & The Pacific are the best things on TV right now (and for the record, completing the list is Supernatural. You guys have to get on board and watch the show, it really is terrific!)
(Off topic, but it is my personal belief that Daniel, you have to get Alan to watch Wonderfalls. I know you like the show, I don't think Alan ever watched it (fully), and I feel it's one of the best shows ever, I just love it. Do it.)
And now I have to find a way to make time go faster or something, as thanks to you I don't think I'll be able to wait until the next BB!! Are we Sunday yet?? About now? About now?...
sepinwall I watched a decent chunk of Wonderfalls, Fred. Show was just never for me. Really, Pushing Daisies is the only Bryan Fuller show I entirely connected with.
April 28, 2010 at 5:54PM ESTfred Oh.. my bad. Well, can't say I'm not disappointed, there's such great writing/acting on that show!
April 29, 2010 at 4:47AM ESTAnyways; I can't wait for the time you make Supernatural a summer project of yours...

April 28, 2010 at 8:24PM EST Reply to CommentAs an avid Lost fan, I didn't want to admit it, but Breaking Bad is indeed the best show on TV right now. Besides the amazing acting and writing, the direction has been one of my favorite aspects of the show this season. You know a television series is going above and beyond when the shots can be just as memorable as the performances.
