Just for some solid numbers: Breaking Bad costs ~$3m/ep to produce. They normally pull around 3m viewers; this week's premiere pulled 5.9m viewers.


They pull 3 million viewers for the first showing in the US. Then there are all the catch-up viewings later in the week plus the showings in foreign markets. I don't know if BB will be syndicated, usually takes around 100 episodes before a series can be syndicated, but it is definitely sold on bluray and DVD.


Syndication would probably factor in as well.
