Better Call Saul co-creator Peter Gould explains the show’s original half-hour sitcom format plan – and why it was abandoned. Bob Odenkirk debuted as slimy cartel-connected lawyer Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad season 2, and immediately became a fan favorite. So popular was Goodman in fact that when it came time to expand the Breaking Bad universe with a spinoff, Vince Gilligan tapped Odenkirk’s character to be at the center.
There was even talk at the beginning of doing the show as a single camera half hour. I was always more comfortable doing an hour because I have too much respect for comedy people to think that I can do that. When Better Call Saul started off, the thing that we said to AMC and Sony was Breaking Bad was 70% drama and 30% comedy and Better Call Saul was gonna be 70% comedy and 30% drama. We were unable to achieve those ratios as anticipated, but I do like to think that there is comedy there.
