Christmas shopping, what is the show about the drug addicted professor?
I’m Christmas shopping for my mom. I remember her saying that she saw this show on basic cable about a professor who gets mixed up with drugs or something? I want to get her a box set DVD of the show, but I can’t for the life of me remember the name of the show. If you gave me the name I’d remember it.

I think the show you are looking for is called Breaking Bad.
Here is the description for the AMC Website:
Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family’s financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in this world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White’s releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.
