The tale of Walter White is coming to a close as AMC has announced that Breaking Bad is ending with season five. But, how will the last episodes do in the ratings? Will they do so well that AMC will regret not renewing the series for a sixth year?

Below are the most recent ratings for Breaking Bad on AMC. The fifth season of Breaking Bad airs on Sunday nights. There are 16 final episodes that will be split between the summers of 2012 and 2013.

Well, I have been binge watching this fabulous show. I will catch up with the first 8 of season 5 and then August 11th for the lat 8. I think it had a great run and agree it should end…but i love the show…better than anything on any of the other networks..TGDFN-Thank God for Netflix…on to Madmen and House of Cards was excellent and compelling too
I just discovered the series last week, started watching it on Netflix 4 days ago and am on episode #30 right now. Please…please…keep it going.
Just like sholanda down there, my brother introduced me to this show after the 4th sseason and after I saw 2 episodes, I couldn’t stop watching. Every other show is nothing compared to Breaking Bad. I watched 16 episodes in one weekend. So disappointed to hear there wont be a 6th season.
Breaking Bad is the very best of the best, when it comes to entertainment. My brother introduced me to it at the end of season 4. Luckily i have netflix and was able to go back and watch every other season.
THIS IS THE ONLY SHOW ON TV THAT I CARE ABOUT. PLEASE COME BACK FOR SEASON 6. MY ENTIRE FAMILY IS INTO THIS SHOW, AND WITHOUT IT, I WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO WATCH. SEASON 6 IS A MUST !
Really cant care less about the ratings on this show, good or bad. Every. Single. Person I know that watches it watches it either off DVDs or off the net (legally and illegally). I myself don’t own a TV but treat my Breaking Bad DVDs like gold. This is not the type of show that advertisers will ever get much out of. But audiences will.
AMC, not A&E
Michael Monk ยป Thanks for catching that!
