I can't say the same for the second and third installments. The only other movie to have me fuming angry after seeing it in theaters was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix , and even I've calmed down about that over the years.

Did you watch it? Are you swooning? Let's talk.

You should. It's one of my favorite shows, and features great actors as the characters' voices. In fact I'm so into the show that I find it hard to realize the voice actors are not the characters themselves when talking as a human person. H. Jon Benjamin, whose voice is instantly recognizable, has become Bob Belcher in my head. Same with Dan Mintz, the voice of Bob's oldest daughter Tina. When he talks, all I hear is Tina. Good job, guys!

Now that 2012 has thankfully expired, it's time to get a jump on 2013. One thing we'd like to urge you all to do is participate more! Enter those stupid video contests when a much-loved (or -hated) TV host calls upon you, dear watchers. We want to see Connecticut well-represented when Daniel Tosh asks which college he should perform at, or when Jimmy Fallon wants to see your best dance moves, as is the case below. This video is from waaaaaaaaay back in 2011, so we really need all of you to step up your game. Can you dig it?

(Although the whole thing sounds about 10% too Tenacious D-inspired.)

It's a good idea to watch something light-hearted and silly after stressing out for an hour over Walter White. Since I don't have cable, I watch the show with a couple of good friends at their house (and try to win over their cat, with no luck so far) every week. Our post-"Breaking Bad" unwinding has included "Adventure Time" and "Bob's Burgers," to name a couple. Last night, I was introduced to "Feed Me Bubbe."

If you're having trouble sitting still with anticipation, may you find comfort in this video from Nerdist's series of celebrity charity bowling competitions. Bryan Cranston, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mitte and Aaron Paul bowled against the Nerdist crew for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Team Breaking Bad beat Nerdist, but didn't win the overall competition. Either way, if you're a fan of this show, it's fascinating to watch these actors be regular, everyday bowlers for a bit.
