    GoT all the way. Walking dead sucks, fuck that show. And Breaking Bad is just the Dexter situation again. I'll never like it, not because it bad. But that there's no way you could make me give a fuck it's so uninteresting.

    I enjoy Game of Thrones, but out of the options, there's no comparing the writing, pacing or just overall "holy shit" factor of Breaking Bad.

    Can't & won't even acknowledge that embarrassingly awful Walking Dead tripe people still inexplicably clamor to, let alone ever try to compare it to the other two. To me it's like trying to compare Taco Bell to high end 4 star cuisine.

    Spartacus series owns all. After that, Game of Thrones and Falling Skies.

    Walking Dead? Sure. Thrones? Would have given it to you before this season, but the last season was so damn good, really shows that Thrones is high caliber TV. But Breaking Bad? Not a chance. Acting wasn't anywhere near as good.

    I never see you take someone's opinion seriously, so I figured I didn't need to at the start yet we could still have a discussion. Guess I was wrong. I just found Copper not as good as the other shows in the same environment over the past few years. Deadwood and Hell on Wheels, and even Boardwalk. Just wanted to see if I was missing something.

    Breaking Bad. GoT is fun and good to watch but isn't nearly as good character-wise, with only a few characters that are really stand out. Walking Dead is kinda overrated IMO.

    Walking Dead - I got part way into season 2 and had to drop it. I don't want to be that guy, but the comic books are a good bit better than this show.

    GOT - I highly regard this show.

    Breaking Bad - Ok, I liked this show-even highly regard it. Not as much as every one else, but it is a good show. Totally worth owning the collecters editions Blu-Rays. I want to give my one big criticism of the show, but I've been crucified elsewhere for speaking against Bryan Cranston.

    That's a pretty tough poll.

    Yeah, I really enjoy both GoT and Walking Dead, but I think I'd give the edge to GoT.

    I've also really enjoyed Breaking Bad, but still haven't finished the series. (and I blame my g/f for that)

    You don't "lol" at other people's comments? Really?

    Yup, I can't stand Walking Dead. Season 1 was fantastic, now the writers just seem to get together and write each ep one week at a time. But like a chump I keep watching bc I have a glimmer of hope it can/will get better.

    I love Breaking Bad. It set the standard so high for me on what TV shows can and should be in terms of writing and more importantly, pacing.

    I WOULD say Game of Thrones, but I thought the season finale didn't quite live up to the books and I'm afraid the direction they're taking it is going to end in disappointment. Still, it's very close.

    The Walking Dead was good a season ago, and I'm expecting better things to come, but Season 4 was just boring and repetitive without much actually getting accomplished.

    So it's Breaking Bad for me. It was great from beginning to end and I still remember it fondly as one of my favourite shows of all time.

    Love 'em both, but Breaking Bad over GOT. Thread needs moar Mad Men, only one mention in two pages about great recent TV?

    LOL at Walking Dead being in the same conversation.
