As of now, Bob Odenkirk will indeed be resuming his role as everyone's favorite entertaining-yet-likable criminal defense attorney with-= questionable ethics, Saul Goodman, from AMC's Emmy-award winning drama "Breaking Bad." The spin-off has been given the green light and will tentatively be titled "Better Call Saul!" The show will focus on Saul's character before he was Walter White's attorney, and show how he developed into the lawyer he eventually became in "Breaking Bad." It is said to be less dark in tone, and more comical, though it is not being described as a "comedy" in itself. Fans are also questioning whether or not any of Saul's employees will return for the spin-off, most notably his bodyguard Huell Babineaux, played by Lavell Crawford, and Patrick Kuby, one of Saul's henchmen, played by comedian Bill Burr. Other characters, such as Jonathan Banks's fan favorite Mike Ermantraut, or the infamous meth distributor and owner of Los Pollos Hermanos chicken restaurants, Gus Fring, could also possibly be worked into a Saul prequel. Chances are, side characters who are important to Saul, but not so much to the story of Walter White or "Breaking Bad," such as Huell and Kuby, are more likely the appear than either Mike or Gus. Either way, it has been a long time since humorous, intelligently written criminal defense show has been on television. Will Bob Odenkirk be the next Ben Matlock? Will you be turning in for "Better Call Saul?"
