Trivia
When Better Call Saul ended, Bob Odenkirk says although he is not ready to leave Saul behind, he is happy to play "a humorously disgruntled professor dealing with the world of academia and the security and instability of that world", in Straight Man.

Crazy credits
A character in the likeness of Bob Odenkirk (William Henry Devereaux, Jr) engages in evasive maneuvers against the hammers of the typewriter keys. The opening credit sequence may serve as a metaphor, for him avoiding "writing" like the plague.

Bob Odenkirk Returns!

Viewers of Lucky Hank shouldn't expect this to be in the same entertainment class as Breaking Bad, or even Better Call Saul. Although the last several episodes of BCS fell flat, IMHO. Bob Odenkirk, a comedian by trade, is a good actor. He did a good job as Hank. As the old Hollywood saying goes, "Dying is easy. Comedy is difficult."

The first episode was okay, nothing great, however. The humor was pointed and straightforward. I hope they ramp up the laughs a bit more in future episodes. Don't have to go juvenile, like Welcome Back Kotter, but fresh, sharp and witty dialogue is a good foundation to build on. We shall see.
