TheTVSHowsOnline; Breaking Bad 3-4 Seasons Overview

Season three

On April 2, 2009, AMC announced that Breaking Bad was renewed for a third, 13-episode season. The third season premiered on March 21, 2010, and concluded on June 13, 2010.

The city of Albuquerque is in shock after the mid-air collision at the end of the second season. Walter and Skyler have separated and Jesse is in rehab following Jane's death. Skyler reveals to Walter that she has been sleeping with her boss, as a measure of revenge for Walter's troubling revelations. Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) makes Walter an offer: $3 million for 3 months work, which he initially turns down. Later in the season, Walt accepts Gus' open-ended offer to produce meth for $15 million per year, leading Walter into a much deeper role in the meth business. Drama continues to escalate, forcing Jesse to become his partner in crime once again. Jesse and Walt, as usual, clash, causing a much undesired confrontation with Gus. Walter's protective and fatherly instincts end up pushing the both of them over the edge and leave the two scared and desperate for their lives. As Gus prepares to replace Walter as cook in favor of Gale (David Costabile), the two take matters in their own hands in order to preserve their value to the organization.

TheTVShowsOnline: Big Bang Theory Production

The show's initial pilot, developed for the 2006–07 television season, was substantially different from its current form. Only Johnny Galecki and Jim Parsons were in the cast, and the female lead, Katie, was envisioned as "a street-hardened, tough-as-nails woman with a vulnerable interior". Katie was played by actress Amanda Walsh. They also had a female friend called Gilda (played by Iris Bahr). The show's original theme music was also different, using Thomas Dolby's hit "She Blinded Me With Science" (This song was later used as the ringtone for Howard's cell phone in the season 3 episode "The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary"). The show was not picked up, but the creators were given an opportunity to revise the show, bringing in the remaining leading cast and retooling the show to its current format. The original unaired pilot has never been released on any official format, but copies are available on the Internet. On the evolution of the show, Lorre said "We did the 'Big Bang Pilot' about two and a half years ago, and it sucked... but there were two remarkable things that worked perfectly, and that was Johnny and Jim. We rewrote the thing entirely, and then we were blessed with Kaley and Simon and Kunal." As to whether the world will ever see that original pilot, maybe on a DVD, Lorre said "Wow that would be something, we will see. Show your failures..."
