'Better Call Saul' moving forward

From Vulture:

AMC and Sony Pictures Television announced today that they're moving forward with the Better Call Saul spinoff of Breaking Bad. The show is planned as a "one-hour prequel that will focus on the evolution of the popular Saul Goodman character before he ever became Walter White’s lawyer."

The series is not a totally done deal, though. Deadline reports that the series order is "pending the complication of Sony TV’s deals with Gilligan, [BB writer/producer Peter] Gould and Odenkirk," and the Sony/AMC statement does not mention any of these three men. It just touts that it has reached a "licensing agreement," and that wasn't an oversight: Sony tells Vulture that the studio has "nothing else to add right now."

Man, the wait for the final (half) season of Breaking Bad has been excruciating to say the least, but it's only 3 days away and luckily we have had more than enough on the internet to hold us over. Below are infographics about Breaking Bad from Vulture; check out the rest after the jump.

'Better Call Saul' spinoff?

From Deadline:

As AMC‘s Breaking Bad is heading into its final eight-episode run this summer, the network and series producer Sony TV are exploring keeping the franchise alive with a spinoff series centered on one of Breaking Bad‘s most recognizable supporting characters, Bob Odenkirk‘s unflappable criminal lawyer Saul Goodman. There are no deals in place yet as the project is in its nascent stages, but I hear it is being conceived by Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan and series writer-producer Peter Gould, who created the Saul character together for a Season 2 episode written by Gould. In the episode, titled “Better Call Saul“, Walt (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse (Aaron Paul) hire the flamboyant Goodman after Badger (Matt L. Jones) is caught by the DEA. Goodman, who has been a regular presence on the show since, is a sleazy but highly competent criminal lawyer with a penchant for over-the-top TV commercials in which he uses his signature tagline “Better Call Saul!” Saul has served as Breaking Bad‘s comic relief, which is not surprising given Odenkirk’s strong comedy background. As a result, I hear the potential spinoff is eyed as a comedy, which could be one-hour, but a half-hour format also is being explored.

If done right, I'd be all for this; Buzzfeed offers 6 ways that it could.

Saul Goodman Yellow Pages Ad

Stumbling upon this ad in the Yellow Pages would be pretty sweet, and possibly the only reason to actually look through the Yellow Pages.  For those of you who don't know, Saul Goodman is the lawyer from Breaking Bad, played by Bob Odenkirk.  Oh, and the number actually works.  Better call Saul!
