Breaking Bad: The Finest Hour on Television That Almost Wasn’t
Newsweek just ran an article on my favorite show Breaking Bad. In it Vince Gilligan recounts the effort to getting the landmark show made.
“I’m still to this day astounded and amazed that it came to exist,” says Gilligan, a lumbering native of Farmville, Va., who has something of the Southern raconteur about him, with a boyish face and bourbon drawl that mask a wicked sense of story and character. “It’s kind of like the old saw that bumblebees shouldn’t be able to fly, aerodynamically speaking. Clearly they do, but on paper it doesn’t look like they should. It’s the same with Breaking Bad.”
Sounds just like a startup.
