Justified

Goldbergs

Sony had little to do with the show, they just got a cut and suggested they do it in New Mexico instead of L.A. (to save cost)

If you look at the history of the show, they speak on who really had their backs...

In terms of Breaking Bad's immense global popularity, creator Vince Gilligan thanked the on demand video service Netflix at the Emmy Awards in September 2013. He even went as far as to say that Netflix "kept us on the air

Production and Distribution are 2 different things with making movies and TV.

You got a show like Gotham (Time Warner owned DC property) showing up on Fox broadcast network and shyt. It's all about who's the highest bidder to air your show regardless of who produced it. If it was straight 1 to 1, that show should have been playing on the CW or TNT/TBS or some shyt that Time Warner Owns. Always found that shyt a little weird.

The shows popularity soared once it started streaming in Netflix but Sony kept AMC from interfering. The quality of the Walking Dead is an example of what could've happened had AMC been in charge of that show.

Funimation is free for the most part, and if you one of those "I need all the episodes of today" types? Then you already know how, for free. So its nice to see people ACT like they gonna support sony. Keep up the good work

Discussions grew heated when AMC tried to convince the makers of of the show that its fifth season run only six to eight episodes instead of the typical 13. That was rejected by the creative forces behind the show, which led them to approach other outlets.

"Breaking Bad" is not the only show AMC is looking to trim costs on. "The Walking Dead," which became a big hit for the network, is having its per-episode budget cut by about $250,000. Last week the show's executive producer Frank Darabont left, and there is speculation that the budget cuts were the reason. People close to AMC deny that was the case.

Tense talks between AMC and Sony over 'Breaking Bad'

Darabont absolutely left because of cuts and said as much in court documents. Had AMC gotten their way BB would have gotten screwed over just like TWD
