Comedy Centric just has to give a big shout-out to Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston.

As the photo above shows, during the September 20th 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards, the veteran of the long-running Fox sitcom Malcolm in the Middle received his second Best Lead Drama Actor Emmy in a row for his hit AMC dark dramedy. Excellent!
And in case fans are wondering, both Breaking Bad and Cranston’s mesmerizing character Walter White will return for a much-deserved third season of 13 episodes in 2010.

Holiday or not — tomorrow, May 25, is the national holiday Memorial Day in the United States — AMC plans to go on with the show tonight when it comes to its breakout hit Breaking Bad.

Like a Breaking Bad sneak peek to go with those “Mandala” preview photos? If so, just hop over the jump to get it while it’s hot.
The footage shows Saul making Walt and Jesse an offer they may not be able to refuse: hooking them up with an unknown “businessman” interested in helping their “business” by buying their “business product” in large supply.
I don’t know… Sounds hinky to me, and when I look at that Saul, all I see is sleaze. Don’t do it, Walt!
“Mandala” premieres tonight, May 17, at 10pm ET.

Ten episodes down, just three episodes left to go in this excellent Breaking Bad second season.
During tonight’s (May 17) fresh hour “Mandala,” the eleventh episode of the season, Saul suggests a new associate when Walt and Jesse’s crew of drug dealers starts losing members. Also, Skyler lets it all out with Ted after she learns something on the disturbing side at work, and things get perilous between Jesse and Jane after he finally tells her what he really does to pay the rent.
