‘Better Call Saul’ Exists Because Of A Dumb Joke

Date:


The thought was that every week, Saul can be visited by a unique slapstick comedian in want of authorized recommendation. However that premise was scrapped when Gould and Breaking Unhealthy creator Vince Gilligan realized that they didn’t “know something in regards to the half-hour idiom,” thus depriving the world of a present through which Saul Goodman would, say, deal with Paul F. Tompkins’ overdue parking tickets. Clearly, this was simply the kernel of an thought, nevertheless it’s nonetheless form of shocking that any undertaking might go from a light-hearted riff on a Comedy Central cartoon to an sometimes soul-crushing drama through which drug sellers get shot within the head on a weekly foundation. 

The pair then moved onto an thought that might have made Saul a “type of a Jerry Maguire for criminals” in that he was “assembling groups” of crooks and “getting concerned of their private lives” – not profiting off of potential mind accidents and/or drunkenly groping his feminine staff. That too, fell by the wayside when the pair realized that Jimmy’s transformation into Saul was the final word “tragedy” of the story … nicely, that and being caught in a windowless Cinnabon.
