Tony would probably start out cool and then go ballistic over something and smash a bottle over your head, then he would call you the next day and tell you he was paying your hospital bill.
Jesse might be fun at a party.

Jesse had some fun parties, but I'd probably leave a little early... I wouldn't mind smoking out with Badger and Skinny Pete, that'd be funny...

Tony Soprano would be a fun friend to pal with if he liked you, as the guy was rich and liked to throw money around, but then if you had something he wanted(including your business, wife or girlfriend), you'd be screwed, as he'd find some way to get what he wanted and manipulate you. I'd probably rather hang out with Paulie and Silvio at the Bing.

Nucky Thompson would be someone to do business with, as he's more the strictly business type, as long as you're a good investment, he'd be alright, but not much fun.

Walter White seemed like he was most at home when it was just him alone talking with someone about science. He seemed to only come alive when he was as Walter White in scenarios where he was the smartest person in the room and could present his scientific genius(and he alone, he didn't like to compete with anyone else with brains for attention)--or when he was Heisenberg.

Actually, Hank would've been a fun guy to hang out with...

I'd rather hang out with Silvio at his bar in Lilyhammer, plus the minor characters usually don't die in that show.

I forgot to share a series that Breaking Bad watchers might like. The first few seasons of Prison Break are excellent.

There's one thing that's been bothering me about this show. It's silly, but why was the money always brand new as if it was fresh off the presses?

Because it was fake money in a show that wasn't trying to be realistic.

I expect drug money to be dirty, and some of it old. Surely they could have made some of it look old and nasty. This is a tv show, if they can make fake new looking money they can make fake realistic looking money.

In one of the later episodes of "The Wire" the "Greek" suppliers were paid in ugly dirty money. They rejected the payment and the drug distributors had to have the money cleaned (they never did go into how that was done). Afterwards the money looked new......
