"Breaking Bad: Original Minisodes" is a web series based on the television series "Breaking Bad". On February 17, 2009, five "mini-episodes," which were more comedy-oriented than most full episodes, were made available online before the premiere of the show's second season. Additional minisodes were to be produced before the premiere of the fourth season, but these did not come to fruition. The first five were included with "Breaking Bad: The Complete Second Season".
