(I need to watch more shows, because that's all I can think of off the top of my head).

Edit: You don't see those kind of series brought up often, but "America: The Story of Us", and "The Men Who Built America" are two of the more enjoyable series that I've ever watched. Both were on the History Channel.

Don Draper and Walter White as characters were basically just attempts at Tony Soprano.  

Walter White was Mr. Chips meets Scarface.
