HBO, TNT, Showtime, FX Turn Down ‘Breaking Bad’
When Vince Gilligan wrote the pilot for Breaking Bad, he initially pitched it to TNT. “They say, ‘If we bought this, we’d be fired,‹ ” Gilligan recalled. “‘We cannot put this on TNT, it’s meth, it can’t be meth, it’s reprehensible. ›” He then went over to HBO. “The woman we [were] pitching to [at HBO] could not have been less interested,” he said. “Not even in my story, but about whether I actually lived or died.” Showtime turned it down because the premise felt too similar to Weeds, but FX actually did agree to buy it. The deal didn’t last long since it felt it had too many other dark shows about antiheroes. “Look, it was a wonderful script,” FX President John Landgraf said several years later. “If I had known Vince Gilligan was going to be one of the best showrunners in television, and Breaking Badwas going to be literally one of the very best shows in television, I would have picked it up despite the concept. But the truth of the matter is, anybody who does what I do for a living, who’s honest, will tell you that you’re making decisions based on too-little information all the time, and you make good ones and you make bad ones.”

5 Bryan Cranston as Walter White, “Breaking Bad”

AMC, 2008-2013
Vince Gilligan famously pitched “Breaking Bad” as the story of a man who “transforms himself from Mr. Chips into Scarface,” and it’s his brilliant writing that made it near impossible to pinpoint when, exactly, Walter White became a monster. But Cranston’s larger-than-life portrayal of the chemistry teacher turned meth kingpin kept fans with him long after he’d gone evil. With “I am the one who knocks” and “Say my name,” Cranston delivered some of TV’s most quoted and memed bits of dialogue. But it’s wordless moments like Walt’s meltdown in the crawl space — a seething outburst that twisted into a nihilistic laughing fit — that cement Cranston’s as one of the defining television performances of the prestige-cable era.
Hehehe
