The Emmys won’t be handed out until Sept. 22, but the record-keepers over at Guinness World Records have already awarded "Breaking Bad" its first honor of the season as the world’s new Highest-Rated TV Series.

The show set the record based on its 99 out of 100 average critics’ rating on review aggregator Metacritic, according to a press release. Guinness previously honored "Mad Men", "Sons of Anarchy", and "Downton Abbey" with the title.

I can understand why. The show is fantastic. I'm on the edge of my seat over the ending. I can't believe I'm rooting for a drug kingpin and murderer.

I agree, Janice. Bryan Cranston's performance plus the excellent writing make this show phenomenal. I'm sorry to see it end, but I would rather see the producers end it on their own terms rather than see the quality decline.
