TRIVIA
- When Walt is showing to Jesse the chemistry supplies he stole from the school, he mentions that he's got an "Erlenmeyer flask". This is an inside-joke reference to _"X-Files, The" (1993)_ (which featured an episode titled "The Erlenmeyer Flask", ep 1.23). Vince Gilligan, creator of Breaking Bad, was a writer and producer on several seasons of The X-Files.
- The show was originally planned to take place in Riverside, CA, but was moved to New Mexico because the state offered an attractive tax rebate on production.
- Bryan Cranston sat in on numerous classroom sessions at Rio Rancho High School to develop his character.
- The school Walter teaches at was filmed in Rio Rancho High School in Rio Rancho, NM, a suburb of Albuquerque. Minor alterations to the school were made such as replacing the whiteboards in the classrooms with blackboards and the use of attendance bells.
- The brand of the cigarette thrown from the motor home is "Morley". Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad, was an executive producer on "The X Files" (1993) and Morley was the fictional brand of cigarette preferred by that series' character C.G.B. Spender, AKA The Cigarette-Smoking Man.
