Saul Goodman Returns for America’s 250th-Birthday PSA

Better Call Saul, AMC’s prequel to Breaking Bad, aired six seasons (2015-2022) and traced Jimmy McGill’s evolution into criminal lawyer Saul Goodman. Bob Odenkirk earned six Emmy nominations for the role, making the character a cultural touchstone. The United States’ Semiquincentennial in 2026 inspired a brief revival as a public-service announcement.
