    I spent the last fifteen minutes of the podcast yelling Chang! at my stereo. With increasing volume and vehemence.

    You guys would complain your water wasn't wet enough. Both of you, but especially Alan, criticize Boardwalk Empire for the most asinine reasons. I find it to be a far more engrossing and well written show than the much heralded Breaking Bad or Mad Men. I watched the most recent 8 episodes of BB in an attempt to see if I've been missing anything. Other then enjoying seeing Bryant Cranston on television, I was underwhelmed. If this is the best drama on TV, the I will stick with Terrence Winter and continue to enjoy a very well-written show following the plight of Nucky Thompson, Chalky White and Atlantic City.
