If Breaking Bad is so good, why only 5 seasons?

I've never seen the show, so I'm not flaming or anything. I just want to know, if it's so good, why stop now? Any insight would be helpful. TIA.

It's better than dragging it out and becoming stale like most other shows do.

Because they know when to quit and not destroy a great thing.

I've never seen that show either, but thanks for being a dick.

it's truth, though isn't it? the wire went 5 seasons, and that was perfect.
like i said, the good ones know when to end it.

You know, I'm going to watch the show now. Now I'm not intimidated by the fact that it would take a while to finish it.

One Tree Hill must be the shite. It ran for 9 seasons.

watching the show is a must

I think Vince Gilligan had a story to tell, and he told it. I could be wrong about that, but from the way he talked last night, he knew where he wanted to go when he started it or shortly thereafter. Very similar to Babylon 5, which was a finite deal from the beginning.

The Wire only had 5 seasons as well.

Nice answer. Thanks. I like this.

It's one of the only shows I've ever seen that's never dropped off. I'd much rather it end like that then drag on and get stale.

Do you know how hard it is to produce a decent 2 hr movie? Much less over 50 episodes of episodic TV. 16 hour days .... location after location. It's very demanding for cast and crew to create TV. Especially good TV

Its not really a show that you can build on just to make more seasons. It plays more like a movie where everything has meaning, a cause and effect. From the very beginning, everything was connected and because of that you know that it will never last (if you watch it, you will know I mean by this). Not every show has the luxury of randomly starting new storylines that have no connection to past or future seasons.

I could be wrong but wasn't there some type of talk after season 3 that AMC was not going to renew it? I could be wrong but I remember wondering why the hell they would cancel a popular show that was just getting good. Anyway I am glad it lasted 5 seasons without becoming dull and drawn out.
