AMC’s “Better Call Saul” set a new record for a cable series premiere audience Sunday night, drawing 6.9 million viewers.
That’s down from the 10.3 million who watched the finale of its parent series, “Breaking Bad,” but it’s well above the audience “Breaking Bad” had averaged for every episode before the finale.
As late as the end of its fourth season, “Breaking Bad” averaged fewer than two million viewers.
“Saul” stars Bob Odenkirk as Saul Goodman, the sleazy lawyer who facilitated Bryan Cranston’s Walter White in “Bad.”

I’m so pathetic that after the first episode Sunday night, I checked the Web for the nearest Cinnabon locations (both located in malls). I actually never ate one before. Has anybody tried a Cinnabon? What are they like?
I think the black and white opening scene was Saul’s present day after going into hiding. I’m pretty sure the guy in the restaurant that made Saul nervous was from Breaking bad.
I noticed Saul seemed to be living pretty good for a fast food worker.
“Has anybody tried a Cinnabon? What are they like?”
Oh their great if you like putting on weight. Seriously fattening.
I really hope they bring in Badger from Breaking Bad. Also really glad they brought Mike in. Looks like Mike gets a little more physical next week.
He must have taken some seed money with him when he began his new Cinnabon life.
Yep, mike is a good character. I remember Jonathan Banks all the way back to the 48 hours movie with Nick Nolte and eddie murphy.

When I see him, I see David St. Hubbins (Saint Hubbins being the patron saint of quality footwear).
One suggestion: Cameo appearances by Walter White. No, he won’t interact with Saul Goodman since they don’t really meet until years later but think about this: How often are you on say, supermarket lines or other public situations, and have NO memory of the people around you? So a suggestion: Show a scene or two (or three) of Saul on a line (or other crowded situation) and in front or behind him is...Walter White. They have absolutely NO interaction with each other but the viewing public will know about their future intersection.
Never watched BB when it ran with new episodes. (been stuck on Sons of Anarchy for 7 seasons) Just decided it was time to go to BB. Always heard how good it was and just got through binge watching the whole series about 10 days ago on netflix so the whole BB story is fresh in my mind and ready for BCS now!
Cinnabons are incredible. Best cinnamon roll you’ll ever have. ... Which is why I haven’t had one in years...
The phone number actually works!
Thanks for the ping, CedarDave.
I’ll give this show a try. I saw most of the first episode and it looks kooky enough to work. LOL.
Anybody know the name of that musical composition that accompanied Jimmy while he began morphing into his inner Saul in the courtroom scenes while he was defending multiple defendants? I really liked that tune and it fit the scenes perfectly.
Vince Gillian does a really great job picking the right music for the scenes.
LOL I remembering seeing David St. Hubbins as Lenny, too. I guess I’m stuck in the 70’s.
“She says yes”.
Ha! Longest “yes” in history. Mike was a bad azz on BB, hated to see him go, especially the way he did.
