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.

Trivia: This show has a similar premise to the Showtime series Weeds, in which a working class parent enters the drug trade in order to provide for their family. Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan was unfamiliar with Weeds when pitching his idea and said he felt the blood drain from his face when network executives told him about Weeds. Fortunately for Gilligan, they felt the two series were different enough, and Breaking Bad is widely considered to be a superior show.

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".
