20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About Breaking Bad

9. The Least Viewed Was Better Call Saul

AMC

Back before it was a cultural phenomenon, Breaking Bad had more respectable ratings. It never faced cancellation - it was critically acclaimed and even at its lowest the show was a delightful hit for AMC (especially pre-Walking Dead). Said lowest was Better Call Saul pulling in only 1.04 million.

Viewed the least probably just because it was a mid-season episode (it's the eighth episode of Season 2), those ratings weren't massively out of step with what the show was regularly pulling in. The debut of a fan favourite character, the episode's quite important in the ongoing story, dealing with the DEA's hunt for Heisenberg and building towards the widespread distribution of Walt's product.
