Why You Might Be Underestimating Comcast Stock

While most of the summer headlines lauded the rise of Breaking Bad, NBC quietly celebrated a few niche hits of its own. Comcast stock has rarely looked more interesting as a result, says Fool contributor Tim Beyers in the following video.

Both networks have drawn well recently, with the current season of USA's Suits gettting between 2 million and 3 million viewers per episode. On Syfy, Defiance attracted about 2 million viewers per episode in its debut season and there's already work on a tie-in video game.
