Emmy Win and the New Andy Griffith!

As we wrapped up this morning the final video presentation for our discussion of Breaking Bad's Season 1 Finale, we wanted to thank all of you who have listened, watched, and participated in our podcast and its video presentations. We also congratulate Vince Gilligan and Co. for their 13 Emmy Nominations this year and for Aaron Paul's win for the second time in a row as Best Supporting Actor. In our estimation, Breaking Bad (2008-13) is the most amazing show on television and you are easily the Best Drama in our book. The video clips below are of great Breaking Bad moments from last night's Emmy Awards Ceremony. Respect the chemistry and watch!

Breaking Bad Remix and Breaking Ned

SPOILER WARNING:

Some Minor Season 2 Spoilers

Although any tribute video would be hard pressed to top the Ecstasy of Gold Tribute, this dance remix of classic moments from Seasons 1 and 2 gives it a run for its money. At the very least, this is the funniest Breaking Bad Tribute to date. Yes, it is even funnier than the Simpsons' Breaking Ned video below, which is a mighty difficult accomplishment.

The Ecstasy of Gold Breaking Bad Tribute

SPOILER WARNING:
Important Moments Revealed from Seasons 1-4

This is probably the best fan-made tribute video to date for Breaking Bad (2008-13). It certainly is my favorite. I used much of this video's footage for the Gray Matter podcast presentation. And if you remember our discussion of the Pilot when I mentioned Breaking Bad plays like the quintessential modern Western in many ways, then you should know this video plays off that concept beautifully. It features a remixed track from the best Spaghetti Western ever made, starring Clint Eastwood in the iconic lead role of director Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1966).
