It’s amazing how a bit of music and some well chosen footage can completely change the context of what you’re watching. While Breaking Bad was definitely a drama that focused on things like drug dealing and battling cancer, this brand new intro, mashed together by Robert Jones, manages to give it the look of a ’90s sitcom.

The video takes the theme music from Facts of Life, a spinoff show which ran in the 1980s in America telling the story of Edna Garrett or ‘Mrs. G’ from Diff’rent Strokes. It also features plenty of people falling through roofs, which happened more frequently than we though in the show.

Now we know there’s some editing and video guru out there who can do something similar with The Wire and one of our favourite TV theme tunes, Who’s the Boss?. Get to work, internet!
