TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

[TAZ]

IF what some others have said thinking that the first scene was him living in Omaha under his new identity there's no way NOT to have WW and Jessie in the show. I'm guessing those two were his cash cow clients so they have to play some part in his demise.

Don't get me wrong, it would/will be cool when W&J show-up, but I'm looking forward to all the side characters and more of their backgrounds. Think of all the times in BB that Saul said "I know a guy..."

Highlight of the show for me so far - The part in episode 2 when Tucco's boy says something to Saul/Jimmie in the desert and Tucco turns around and says "Stop. Helping." Haha, yeah, dude doesn't follow that advice...

And the cinematography has been fantastic, that Public Defender sequence was great.

Edit -page 500!

I already like BCS so much more than Breaking Bad. And I [expletive] love Breaking Bad.

Odenkirk : Breaking Bad :: McKean : Better Call Saul

A great, underutilized comedic character actor has a late-career breakout in a thing you'd never expect from him.

The first episode of Saturday Night Live--host George Carlin, musical guests Billy Preston and Janis Ian, Andy Kaufman doing a comedy routine, Oct. 11, 1975--will air on NBC in the show's regular time slot this weekend.

I think the thing that surprised me the most about that show when I saw it was the sight of Carlin smoking up a storm onstage at the end.

The last episode of The Americans might have been my favorite, though the Reagan assassination episode from Season 1 was really good.

I do wish they'd mess with the format a little these days. One of the interesting things about those early years is how different shows could be - the Paul Simon one was effectively the Simon and Garfunkel reunion show; Albert Brooks did an 11 minute film in one episode; they did that one on the streets with Buck Henry (which was a disaster, as I recall, but still).

Well, what I'd really like is them to get rid of both Update hosts, trim the cast by another two or three and let the people who are left have a chance at getting on the air a decent amount.

Yeah, the format was much closer to a variety. That first episode has three separate Carlin standup routines (including the baseball v. football one!), two songs by Billy Preston, two songs by Janis Ian, Kaufman's standup bit, and a standup bit by another comedian. There are only three or four comedy sketches, plus Weekend Update.

The Paul Simon one only really had one sketch (the basketball thing), but the crowd losing their minds at the S&G reunion didn't seem to mind.

I was about to go on a "the cast is too big" rant, but I picked a season at random - 2001/2002 - and the cast was actually bigger then. I do wish they'd thin it out a bit though, they've got talent that's just not getting on the air.
