TV Watch: Looking back via AMC's "Breaking Bad" marathon and ahead to the "Better Call Saul" premiere

AMC is running a complete Breaking Bad marathon.

If you're reading this now, chances are pretty good that you're not in at the start of AMC's complete-series segmented marathon of Breaking Bad, which began this morning at 10am ET/PT, 9am CT, and 8am MT (as best I can tell -- if ever there was a time to consult your local listings, this is it), but you've still got oodles of time to join in. run continuously through Tuesday morning, December 30, then start and stop at various times, with some repeats, timed to reach the end in time for the launch of the BB prequel Better Call Saul, as we've reported, Sunday-Monday, February 8-9. The marathon schedule is here.
