Breaking Bad–Amazing Series!

There are a lot of soundbites now in the ‘Breaking Bad‘ negotiations which I would classify as very positive negotiations. But as soundbites and leaks come out in the press, and there are certainly reasons happens today, people get parts of the story but they rarely get the real story. Matt was blamed unfairly for the scheduling of our shows and for decisions that are squarely network decisions that, again, wouldn’t turn anyone’s head if they were happening in normal day to day business but are becoming topics of conversations, just because we’re slightly in the public eye right now.We are building an environment where the best in the business are bringing us their passion projects. The fact that ‘Mad Men’ has found a home where it has been nurtured and grown every year and Matt Weiner is so beautifully running the show with his vision at the fore, and ‘Breaking Bad,’ a different kind of show but so nuanced in its own way, is being given the breadth of freedom.So there’s no one answer to your question of “What one thing are we trying to do?” I think what we do really well, and when AMC is at its best, it’s super-serving a specific target audience and delivers to them not just some of the best films in a genre, but also like-minded series that can stand side-by-side with those films. So if a creator were to bring us a big idea that we thought could be a suitable part of audience-favorite programming, that’s the kind of show I want to continue to build.
