Well, it's officially official now. The Breaking Bad spinoff series Better Call Saul has been confirmed for November 2014. YES! You guys excited?

Quote:
AMC announces premiere for 'Better Call Saul' Associated Press 51 minutes ago
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Walter White's lawyer is returning to Albuquerque.
AMC announced this week that the "Breaking Bad" spinoff, "Better Call Saul," will premiere in November 2014, but no specific date has been released.
The series will follow sleazy attorney Saul Goodman, played by Bob Odenkirk, as he defends drug lords, criminals and those allegedly injured in minor traffic accidents.
The network has already created a website for the fiction lawyer, with Saul Goodman's signature videos boasting how he can get anyone out of legal trouble.
"Breaking Bad," which ended last year and was filmed in Albuquerque, followed former high school teacher Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston. White produced methamphetamine with a former student, Jesse Pinkman, played by Aaron Paul.
Odenkirk played their attorney who came up with money laundering schemes.

I remember reading it's supposed to be a dark or drama comedy, but that was a few months ago.

Rather see more Mr.Show to be honest. It could be good, it could suck. Depends on what direction they take it.

A new season of Mr. Show would be golden. I can't imagine David is doing anything important, or the rest of the regulars either. Maybe Brian Posehn could convince Patton Oswalt to join instead of Sarah Silverman. Man, out of all the Mr. Show cast she's probably the one who's made it big, however that happened. Well, her and JB.

David Cross is doing Arrested Development, and I doubt HBO would be able to afford it at this point nor would they. I mean they canceled Bored to Death, whoever is running HBO now is a fucking moron.

Shows like this pretty much never live up to the show they are spun-off from (bad wording, I know.) Especially a show like breaking bad.

That's because expecting something to "live up" to something else, unless it's a direct sequel/prequel, is pretty silly IMO
Yea there will be a lot of similarities- same actor and production, but it sounds like it's gonna be pretty different.

Yeah guys, don't expect this to live up to Breaking Bad. It just probably won't. But still going to be really, really awesome. It's almost like when your favorite musician dies and they release their unreleased recordings posthumously. It never lives up to the released stuff, but it's still wonderful to hear new music from someone who you never thought you'd hear another new song from again.
I don't care how good it is. It's going to be AWESOME!

I totally disagree with the musician thing That, to me, would be like extra episodes/deleted scenes from Breaking Bad (which I'm excited to see )
I'd compare it to your favorite band breaking up and one member starting a solo or different group, though. I'm a huge fan of Odenkirk and excited he'll finally be getting more airtime.

Haha, that is actually a much better analogy. Let's just say Better Call Saul is the first John Lennon solo album.

Yeah I think it sounds like a natural fit. I wouldn't expect the same kind of show as Breaking Bad at all, but Saul is definitely a strong enough character to carry a show. Sort of like Cheers vs Frasier. Not really a big fan of either myself but Frasier undoubtedly stood on its own rather than just coasting on the Cheers connection.

Yes, I always liked Bob Odenkirk, particularly on his old show with David Cross, (Mr. Show) and he was probably likely the most sympathetic character on the show among the criminal types.
This is supposed to be a prequel, so that sounds really interesting
