Breaking Bad & Newhart Twist

In the 2013 DVD and Blu-ray complete series of the show Breaking Bad, an alternate ending features Bryan Cranston in bed with his Malcolm In The Middle co-star, Jane Kaczmarek, portraying their characters Hal and Lois. This serves as a playful nod to the final scene from the show Newhart, where Bob Newhart wakes up in bed next to Suzanne Pleshette, who had portrayed his (different) character's wife on The Bob Newhart Show over a decade earlier. This ending hinted that the entire plot of Newhart was a dream by Bob Hartley, his character from The Bob Newhart Show, adding a surreal twist to the series' conclusion.
