"Better Call Saul" writers Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan said that they originally planned a sitcom-like spin-off for Saul Goodman, where the sleazy lawyer will be helping different hilarious characters. Now that they have put that idea aside, the show runners are reportedly "beating their heads against the wall" while brainstorming for the much-anticipated season "Better Call Saul Season 2."

Saul Goodman in a sitcom surely crossed the minds of "Better Call Saul" writers during the initial talks about a "Breaking Bad" spin-off. Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan admit that they first thought Saul Goodman will fit in a sitcom-like atmosphere along with wacky characters needing his legal help. The show runners say that the idea sprung from Goodman's comedic character in "Breaking Bad," which makes him a potential lead in a comedy series.

While that idea doesn't really sound silly at all, a report said that Gould and Gilligan made a wise decision dropping it and opted for a more serious tone for "Better Call Saul." Pursuing a sitcom starring Saul Goodman would make a good show but not a phenomenal one. "Breaking Bad" fans are so familiar with Saul Goodman's humor that they wouldn't think the character has a serious, complex background story. With "Better Call Saul," Goodman's past life as Jimmy McGill is exposed. People know now that Goodman was once a decent, struggling lawyer who faced depression due to betrayal from people he cared about. Jimmy McGill's story is worth telling because it gives the fans an explanation for Saul Goodman's character in "Breaking Bad."

Now that the "Better Call Saul Season 2" script is underway, Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan are surely making sure that its story is cohesive with the first season's storyline and also to the subsequent events. The show runners are reportedly engrossed in writing the season 2's script that they are already "beating their heads against the wall."

Bob Odenkirk previously teased that a good time awaits Jimmy McGill in "Better Call Saul Season 2," which makes fans conclude that it would still take a while before he transitions into Saul Goodman.

"Better Call Saul" show runners Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan may have abandoned the idea of putting Saul Goodman in a sitcom but the show's first season still turned out to be a success. Gould and Gilligan are now vehemently brainstorming for the next season by "beating their heads against the wall."
