The most recent television event comparable to Breaking Bad was the Lost finale, which had about 13.5 million viewers. Breaking Bad garnered 10.3 million, which is incredible considering it airs on a cable network not found on every provider. Not only that but Breaking Bad airs at a time when more viewers (particularly of cable dramas...like Breaking Bad...) watch television via other platforms like dvds, streaming services like Netflix and Amazon and AppleTV, network websites, and iTunes. The finale was probably the first time a lot of these viewers watched Breaking Bad at its appointed night and time.
Another aspect reminded me of Lost, compared to Jack sacrificing himself to save the island and his friends, Walt goes into Uncle Jack's lair planning to blow them all away, while being perfectly fine with himself going out as well.
And both shows end with the main character expiring.
