Breaking Bad

Caballo sin Nombre - S3-E2

Trivia: There is a scene in this episode where Walter angrily tosses a box of pizza in the air in such a way that the pizza exits the box and lands on his roof. Before filming this scene, the crew had wondered how many takes would be required to achieve the desired result. Bryan Cranston nailed it on the first try.

Phoenix - S2-E12

Trivia: The website Walter Jr. creates to raise money for Walter Sr. can be found at http://www.savewalterwhite.com/. The donation link used to send the viewer to a legitimate cancer charity's website, but now just goes to AMC's home page. (00:20:00)

Trivia: Eladio Vuente has a similar name to Eladio Buente, a character from a season 4 episode of The X-Files called "El Mundo Gira." The latter character was portrayed by Raymond Cruz, who played Tuco Salamanca in this show. Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan was previously a writer on The X-Files.

Crazy Handful of Nothin' - S1-E6

Trivia: When Walt blows up Tuco's office, listen closely. Mixed in with the screams is a distinct sound of a man shouting "Yeah!" That is a clip of the infamous "Dean Scream." In 2004, democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean let out an excited "Yeah!" after giving a rousing, over-the-top speech. However, his giddiness and the scream were viewed as unprofessional by the public, and the moment briefly made Dean into a laughing stock in the media. The scream then became an infamous soundbite.

Season 2 generally

Trivia: For most of season 2, Skyler is pregnant, but Anna Gunn (who plays Skyler) was not. The opposite is the case for the character of Marie: Betsy Brandt (who plays Marie) was pregnant during season 2, even though Marie was never pregnant during the show. In an episode early in season 2, we see Skyler rubbing lotion on her belly. That is Betsy Brandt's pregnant belly standing in for the close-up shots.

Granite State - S5-E15

Trivia: When Robert Forster (Ed, or "The Disappearer") stops by the cabin to drop off supplies to Walt, he tells Walt that his (Walt's) house has since become somewhat of a tourist attraction, and a fence has been built around it. Funny thing is, in real life that is exactly what has happened to that house since Breaking Bad. Tourists come to that house and take photos, and the owners have had to put up a fence to keep people off their property. Before the fence was put up, some people went so far as to throw a pizza on the roof, like Walt did in a previous episode.

Trivia: A lot of the show is filmed on location in New Mexico. As such, a lot of places actually exist. A1A Car wash is called "Mister Car Wash." And Los Pollos is actually a Mexican restaurant called "Twisters".

Show generally

Question: Just how does Walt intend to explain the presence of all that meth money, even posthumously? Just how does he think his heirs will react to that, how is he going to launder it? How does he think his wife and kids will explain it? If they knowingly inherit and use such money, they could face charges of accessory after the fact. Is this ever addressed in the show?

dizzyd

Chosen answer: I'm not sure how far you are into the show but he does eventually come up with a way to launder it (wont spoil it for you but rest assured, when he gets a lawyer the show gets much better!) and in the final season he also comes up with a way to give his children his money without the cops or the DA knowing it came from him.

The_Iceman

Answer: Walt decided to buy a car wash to launder his money, which makes a profit without the dirty money. At the end he blackmailed Elliot and Gretchen in to giving his money to junior and Holly. However 90% of his $80m is stolen.
