on FX. Looks interesting. I hope it doesn't suck.
I'm intrigued, but what is it supposed to be about?
Saw the ad on the bus. I think it has to do with a ghost in a black leather body suit. It looks hot.

Haunted house.
The only thing is I'm not a big Dylan McDermott fan.
American Horror Story revolves around the Harmons, a family of three who moved from Boston to Los Angeles as a means to reconcile past anguish. The all-star cast features Dylan McDermott as "Ben Harmon," a psychiatrist; Connie Britton as "Vivien Harmon," Ben's wife; Taissa Farmiga as "Violet," the Harmon's teenage daughter; Jessica Lange in her first-ever regular series TV role as "Constance," the Harmon's neighbor; Evan Peters plays "Tate Langdon," one of Ben's patients; and Denis O'Hare as "Larry Harvey." Guest stars for the series include Frances Conroy as the Harmon's housekeeper; Alexandra Breckenridge as the Harmon's housekeeper; and Jamie Brewer as Constance's daughter.
I liked it. Jessica Lange is da bomb.
DVR'd it. There's too many shows I'm watching this season...
I don't have any shows I watch regularly (not since Buffy...rest her soul) so this might be it.
I think you'll like it Deaner, it has a lot of sexin for an FX show.
You aren't watching Ringer with SMG in it?
No. I can't stomach her outside of the Buffy character plus it looks like she cries a lot on that show.
You mean you don't like her work in Scooby Doo? ;)
Ringer is ok, not great. I still like her though.
I did watch the first episode of Person of Interest on CBS. That was kind of good, I like Michael Emerson.
In addition to my regular shows (already too many) I've added Ringer, Terra Nova, New Girl, Up All Night and American Horror Story.
Scooby Doo is all aboot Linda Cardellini.
The Moira character and the Down's syndrome girl were the best thing about this. Wildly uneven, but interesting enough I'll give it a few more chances.
Agreed.
The problem is they can too easily do bullshit like -
EVERYONE THEY MEET ARE ACTUALLY GHOSTS
THEY ARE ACTUALLY GHOSTS
yadda yadda yadda
Yeah, competing ghosts.
And who cries after masturbating? Because he was masturbating onto a desk/table in front of an open window like a weirdo?
One Word: Jessica Lange
I want to bake cupcakes with her. :)
I saw Jessica Lange last week at our local museum. She has a photograph exhibit going on and did a commentary on her work. Kinda cool.
Anyway y'all have convinced me to give this show a try.
The show isn't very good, but Jessica Lange is fantastic.
Show is great, so far. I loved the first two episodes. Just hoping it holds up
Definitely liked the 2nd episode better than the 1st.
I dont know, I found the first episode very surreal and creepy. The creepy factors were way high, and not knowing much kept me glued to the screen
Alot of storylines passing through this though, hopefully they can hold it together.
I was expecting this to have flashes of nu-metal, flashy effects and weighed down cgi..and none of that. Implied terror, nice buildups, great sets, interesting and creepy characters (not to sure about the thing in the basement though..) thrown in with a nu-gothic feel and some erotica and you have a keeper of the story doesnt go awry.
The female lead is sexy...Jessica Lange looks fantastic and the maid is smoking..the ladies get Mcdermotts ass across the screen every now and then, so everyone's happy.
Yay Wednesday. Can't wait to see what Constance is up to tonight. Damn I want to know "what" she is. I don't think she's bad, I think she protects that house in some way.
The maid ghost aged?
Is that right?
and her eyeball grew back.
They gave why the maid looks differently in last nights episode, as she is seen how the male perceives her to be, or something to that effect. Can't be sure about too much else, as it gets a bit confusing. Whats the deal with the burnt guy again? I cant be sure is he's a ghost or whatnot, but if everyones a ghost, how can they interact the way they are with people and be seen by all (least Im pretty sure everyone sees them). Some things need to be 'tied' together soon, and I have faith they will. Maybe they have something good up their sleeve for the Halloween week episode.
Havent been able to figure out the latex guy, who hasnt been back in awhile or the down syndrome daughter, who was there every 5 minutes in the first few, now havent seen her in a bit. I think this may be the problem with throwing too much out there in the first few episodes...you start wondering where and how everything works together down the road, or at least I do
oh..and Connie Britton is turning me the fuck on.
Heres a good synopsis of last nights episode, which frankly..I needed.
SPOILERS, for those that havent seen it yet.

QuoteThey gave why the maid looks differently in last nights episode, as she is seen how the male perceives her to be, or something to that effect.
But if she died at a young age how could she be aging after death? I guess that's the cool thing about ghosts you can give them any ability in the world because they're ghosts.
QuoteWhats the deal with the burnt guy again? I cant be sure is he's a ghost or whatnot,
He was one of the people that lived in the house. He set his wife and two kids on fire. That's how he got burned. He said he recently got out of prison and is dying of brain cancer so I presume he is not a ghost.

The more they tie together the more mysteries the create. I like that about the show.

I think they're bringing the latex suit back next week. I wonder if it's that ghost kid that is hanging out with the daughter.
QuoteI think this may be the problem with throwing too much out there in the first few episodes...you start wondering where and how everything works together down the road, or at least I do
I read that a lot of tie-ins to the show are in the opening credits, you have to pay attention to that if you want some spoilers. It shows what happened to all the families that lived there in the past.
Looks like it's too easy to turn this into Lost type bullshit.
Is she a ghost maid, or a maid ghost??
The burn guy looks too much like the burned retard from Land of the Dead.

Thanks M--I was distracted for about 15 minutes in the first one, on the phone..so that kind of cleared things up with the burnt guy. I say, to the haters, give it a chance, this one seems all the much more
smartly written than that Lost shitfest.
oh, and Connie Britton is still hot
Last night's episode kind of blew. I need more gaping head wounds and less domestic drama.
I guess I don't watch the show closely enough, but what the fuck is going on? I feel like they need to explain a little bit of what's going on or people (me) will start tuning out.
Really? I usually have a major problem with shows that leave too many mysteries and cliff hangers but this one I seem to be getting. What's confusing you my friend?
Well first off I half watch every show nowadays because I'm on the infernets. Granted I haven't watched last nights episode, but last week seemed to jump back and forth in time so much I got lost. So dude really did kill his affair chick? Did the burned guy really help him or is he not real? And the cop looking for the missing girl - that was one of the home invaders, right? Did he say he found her later? I thought she was dead.
I'm 99% sure the burn guy is a living person because he's not stuck on the property like the ghosts are (however, as the story progresses this could change ) and yes the burn guy really did kill that crazy prego chick and they built a gazebo over her grave which already contained the body of the maid who was murdered by Constance. Burn guy is now blackmailing the hubby.
The cop was also real, not a home invader; he was not looking for the hubby's lover he was looking for a missing patient who tried to commit suicide during her session. Dylan McDermott was drugged by his ghost maid so when he saw her cleaning up the blood he didn't know if he killed his patient or not. It was just another stress layer added to his story line.
Thanks so the missing person cop was not looking for one of the home invaders? Was he looking for the black woman? I just read an interview with one of the creators of the show that explained some things. I can link it if you'd like to read it, but it does contain spoilers.
Yes it was that lady, the boring one. She tried to kill herself because her psychiatrist was zoning out while she was talking about how boring everyone finds her.
I don't mind spoilers. Post the link please.

And here's a recap: http://tvrecaps.ew.com/recap/night-of-the-fluffing-dead/
last night revealed alot..Halloween = night the dead shall walk freely
everyone came out of the woodwork last night. this show kind of rules. now that Walking Dead kind of blows, this and Sons of Anarchy are the ones I look forward to the most.
well..til Hell on Wheels starts. That one looks good.
Next Sunday is the Iron Chef Big Deals show premiere, so WD will now fall victim of the DVR and be watched when there absofuckinglutly nothing else on.
Yup there were some answers last night however the episode wasn't all that scary. They made the ghosts too human last night. I get that they get to walk among the living and I actually enjoyed the part where the daughter's boyfriend got all happy about being able to go to the park, which was kind of cute.
I'm getting a little sick of that horrible marriage and that troublesome fetus. Does she have to have a pregnancy scare every fricken episode?
General Hospital, but with ghostseses.
Looks like I won't need to concern myself with this show no mores, because Directv is dropping FX.
NOOOOOOO you can't quit on me now dammit. :'(
I'm confused.
Is the dog a ghost?
No, the tomato is.
Damn you deaner, you and your shitty tooth stole my smart ass answer.
I do have to say I'm enjoying the show more now that I understand the house's ghost rules.
I wish the show was a ghost.
Fuck Jor el if you don't like it then stop watching it already. I'm sure there's some beard show on at that time you can be watching instead.
If Beard Wars were ghostesses, it would be awesome.
I'm out of pot so tonight is the big test to see if I really like this show as much as I think I do or if I've just been stoned this whole time.

Well I think you like this better than I do and I haven't smoked weed in about 10 yrs. ???
This show isn't very good.
I do like this show quite a bit. It's been many years since I liked anything on TV to watch it regularly. I think Buffy was the last thing I watched weekly.
So..did you re-up the stash yet?
this show gets better every week..those that pissed on it or didnt bother, missing out
Yeah the school shooting scene was fucking intense, especially for tv.

Really?
They're just now figuring oot the joint is haunted?
DG, come back!
Holy twists batman. Best episode of the season. Totally digging the Violet reveal. :o
The creepiest thing for me is that Constance is the more evil, southern version of my mother.
All of my mom's husbands are dead and our dog always had the runs. Makes me wonder. ;)
Yeah, but it's getting to the point of how many ghosts are in the house? Like the Black Dahlia? That just felt like a stunt to me.
And I'm glad you're back even if it is just for this thread.
Yeah the Black Dahlia was cheesy, there has to be more to that story or it's useless.
I was telling Jor el last week that it would be cool if they killed the family off at the end of the season and brought a new one in next year. He said the same thing, too many ghosts. However not all the ghost come out at once so they can have dozens. I'm thinking Violet will stay so they can have the little teen romace story going but her parents will probably sell the house.
The one thing I'm confused about is Tate. If he knows he's dead and his body is not on the property why is he still there? I though Constance said a few episodes a go that those were the only two reasons the ghosts are there, if they don't know they are dead or their bodies are on the property. Or did I imagine hearing that?
I think it is if they die on the property. Body doesn't have anything to do with it. The real estate developer was still alive (barely), which is why melt face had to move his body elsewhere.
I do like how Hayden loves being a ghost. Badass!
When they built the gazebo and poured concrete over Hayden and Moyra's bodies, remember Moyra started crying and Constance said 'looks like you're stuck here forever' which made me think that once her body is discovered she can move on. I'm confused. ???
Well to me it seems that the show makes up the rules as it goes along. I'm just going with the easiest explanations and not questioning it too much. I'm enjoying the show more that way.
Your question brings up one thing though, can the ghosts be released in any way? I can see that coming up at some point.
I could watch an entire episode of Jessica Lange & Zachary Quinto bitching at each other.
That was pretty good. This season is definitely finishing on a high note. What's next season going to be, another family moves in?
read on a blog yesterday, the rumor is the father will die and continue the cycle..not sure how well that holds up now that the back story has been blown open. Whats left?
BTW I just want to say on record that I totally called the family being killed off at the end of the season. Now they HAVE to get rid of Dylan McDermott because him living there with his ghost family and ghost ex lover baby mama is just a bad sitcom.
Damn, so many ghosts in that house. So what happened to the Black Dahlia ghost? I realize she was a one episode ghost, but that really makes no sense. And where is the exterminator ghost?

I don't recall that.
:P
I hope Violet doesn't cry tonight, I HAAAAATE the way she cries. So is daddy gonna go back to sleep walking naked and playing with the stove?
What can they possibly do as a cliffhanger??
It's gonna be something stupid with the babies. Those brats are gonna ruin everything. >:(
Where is the exterminator ghost? Someone please explain that to me!
Baby Andy ruined Family Ties.
birthing/adopting/inheriting a baby > jumping the shark

I don't know, he's probably hiding. Didn't look like much of a social feller.
Deaner's exterminator finally got some screen time.
lol ^ this
I even said to my cat "Oh look there's deaner's buddy".
Oh and what's up with that little snot making fun of the Butthole Surfers? That was irritating.
What a dud of a season finale.
Eh, it was ok. I did not like Hayden alive, but she rocks as a ghost.
I thought the burn guy had some plan for Jessica Lange to pay for her crimes - yet, he's just serving time in prison?
And now they just pass the time.....3 years?
Everyone still gets along in ghost land?
His leaving was not handled well IMO.
What is ghost time like? Slower, faster, the same as living time?
For as pissed off about everything as they were in the land of the living, they sure are okay with the fact that the baby was stolen and whatnot.

The burn guy wanted off the show (the actor).
He said to his ghost wife that he thinks Constance should pay for what she did but the wife though otherwise, that's why he confessed instead of framing Constance. He's in jail to repent for his family's death.
I hate that the ghosts aren't very haunting; they're too much like the living. I hate when they try to make the show silly because they just make it cringe worthy cheesy instead. Like the whole cutting and shooting each other, seriously WTF??? Whoever writes this stuff sucks at nuances.
It's almost like they show an episode, then get feedback and try to fix all the screw ups the following week which just creates more inconsistencies. The show still has some merits, the dead Violet episode was pretty kick ass but it's hanging by a thread at this juncture.
I definitely don't want this to be the new Love Boat, where the living come and go and Moira is your eternal cruise director.
Aren't the show creators also responsible for Glee ?
I just enjoy the trashiness of it. Low expectations = more enjoyment.
Pretty sure the burn guy actor is going to be back in the next season of Tru-blood. Maybe why he left?

I like him in Tru-Blood.
Not so much in AHS.
He was also in some extremely horrible Sandra Bullock/ Ryan Reynolds movie that was on TV last weekend.
They do a pretty good job with his burn make up.

Next season will be entirely new house/story/family. No returning characters.
http://tv.ign.com/articles/121/1215396p1.html
The show isn't the greatest, but at least it's fun.
It did feel like a wrap up.
The big loss will be Jessica Lange.
Oh good so this isn't Love Boat quite yet. I was afraid Charo was going to move into the Murder House.
I've got mixed feelings about it. The house was getting too full of ghosts, but I did like some of them & the house was cool.
I'm intrigued by the anthology idea. A whole new location and story never even crossed my noggin. I was sure they were just going to have a new family move in every season. The Hispanic family last night did throw me for a loop. I was wondering why they would replace all those established actors with complete no names, but then they got chased out.
I thought it was good.
They offered why the house maid looks diversely in last night time show, as she is seen how the men thinks her to be, or something to that impact. Can't be sure about too much else, as it gets a bit complicated. What is the cope with the used guy again? I cant be sure is he's a spider or whatnot, but if everyones a spider, how can they socialize the way they are with individuals and be seen by all (least Im very sure everyone recognizes them). Some elements need to be 'tied' together soon, and I have trust they will. Maybe they have something excellent up their sleeve for the Halloween weeks time show.
You know that the season is over right?

Ah.
B-A-D
Amehrica Horror Bore-y.
Over the last few days, I've had a family member who watches the show explain the premise of the 1st season and criticize the 2nd season opener. She said if it doesn't improve after the next episode, she wont continue watching. From what little I've gathered, this show sounds kind of retarded ;D.
In addition to being bad - add horrible shooting style (NYPD Blue) and cutting.
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/20/evyhusy9.jpg)
I'm curious about the different use of characters... Looking forward to the next episode!
I find it to be enjoyable campy trash.
I watched the first 3 episodes and I can see why the ladies enjoy this show for the same reason they enjoy/enjoyed True Blood. Trashy factor with the intriguing story. That being said, i'll stick to my standby shows.
My theory is that girls like both AHS and TB because they're horror infused with a campy (gay) sensibility. In a way, it's so over the top that it's less scary. The thing I don't like about AHS is the look of it. The film (so to speak) is slightly diffused to make it look old-timey and the sets look cheap. Jessica is good (as are all the actors) but it's got that breathless OMG-the-religious-people-are-actually-the-craziest-ones-even-know-they-say-they're-the-holy-ones!! POV that was edgy in perhaps the 50s.
this jawn has tried to get me to watch this show twice & i didn't make it through anywhere close to a full ep either time.
Duck Call Dynasty gets a million more viewers that AHS every week.
*sigh*
Baby needs colostrum.
Duck Dynasty is fantastic.
I loved the first series, watched the first few epsodes of the second and initially couldn't watch the fourth episode. And since then I haven't made an effort to catch up. Meh from me.

Umm.....what?
Poop Rubies
The second season was far superior to the first.
It was very good
The first episode of season three was great.
Looks like it's gonna be good, yo.
DVR'd it, will watch this weekend.
The second season was amazing! I remember being a little skeptical at first. I can't remember if I finished watching to the end tho, bloody hell, I'll have to find out!
we watched ep. 1 season 1 for the first time a couple weeks... we could hardly stop from laughing.
needless to say we didn't check out the rest of the season.
I skipped season 2 and just watched ep1 season 3. I was liking it until the end. Basically, all the witches have the witch powers one would expect and that sets up the story.
...except the main character witch... she makes dude's heads explode when she bones them........
......that's not a witch power that's a TROMA movie.
I'll probably check out the next episode later.

thus the "probably".
Season 3 so far is much more campy than the first two seasons and a lot less scary.
Season four of this show has elevated jumping the shark to new death defying heights. How the fuck did AHS turn into Glee?
Heh
I still think it's better than the last season, which was pretty horrible imo.
This season is pissing me off, killed off the best 2 characters and left us with meh
I'm one song-and-dance number away from never watching this show again.
"Precious" better take his ass out, Lobster boy needs to runaway with that hot slut Emma Roberts
