I was wondering what this forum thought of FX' American Horror Story. It's one of the strangest things I've seen on television. I dug it and am really interested to see where it goes.
It's intriguing. It's full of cliches and it needed to stop and catch its breath now and then, but overall it's a quality enough production that I'll give it a go. Nice to see a genuine horror show, as opposed to all the dark fantasy.
I think the biggest reason I'll still watch is to see more of the back story between the characters that obviously have history with the house. I am so happy that horror is finding it's niche on television with a budget.

I totally agree with you. I watched the pilot last week and got caught up with the characters and how they intertwine with the house and manipulating the new family. Also, it's not a damn reality show. I'm very happy that it's on a 10 o'clock on Wednesday because that is when hubby is at darts and I'm throwing in the towel for the night.
For some reason, I love Jessica Lange's role in this show.
I watch it just to see Dylan McDermott's bare ass!!! OK, not really....that's just a bonus... It's a bit bizarre and twisted and if you don't pay complete attention it would be easy to get confused, but I like it. And yes, Jessica Lang's character is very twisted, in a creepy way!
I just watched the first and second episodes. Wow. Things are setting up nicely between all of the characters and their interaction within the house. I'd have to say that I am on board with the series for sure. This may be better than The Walking Dead at this point.
I really enjoy American Horror Story! Jessica Lang is amazing in it; have to say I never thought of her in a role like this. I bet she's having a blast. Last weeks episode was my favorite so far.
I love The Walking Dead and don't want to compare them. I just hope both keep on going for awhile. Last year, on Halloween, I was handing out treats and flipping through channels to find a good horror movie and found The Walking Dead. It was like finding gold for me. I love zombie movies. I was just irked there was only a few episodes and then nothing for a year.
Even though we found the show to be very predictable we do enjoy it and hope it continues for a very long time. Jessica Lang does an excellent job and i never thought i would say that EVER. Cant wait to see how it continues next year.
I'm with the rest of you - I can't wait for the second season. I think Jessica Lange got nominated for an award for her role. I hope they keep it on Wednesday nights with the same time.
Rumor has it they want every season to be an independent, self-contained story. I think it's an awesome idea. But it's hard to imagine they wouldn't want Lange to reprise the role somehow.
The show is great. Love it. Although, I thought the ending to the first season was kinda cheesy, I'm back again watching the second season.
This one has gotten quite gorey. And just like PrettyGhoul said, Jessica Lang is amazing. I didn't know she had it in her. Of course, as usual, I give most of the credit to the writers and director.
Some people don't like the way the story is split between the present day and 1964. But I find both stories quite interesting.
We TiVo it and watch it on Friday night. Ooooooo, can't wait to see this week's episode.

Thought the first season was great . Didn't think the asylum idea would hold my interest but the writers have made this season more addictive than the first .
Sad to say the most recent season of Dexter couldn't do the same . I think they should have ended that one last year ,would have left me wanting more . Anybody else watch Dexter ?
So far I'm enjoying the Asylum episodes. Sometimes I feel that if I blink, I will miss something. I was kinda bummed that it will not be on until January 2nd. I should go back and watch the latest episodes so I can still be on top of it when it starts up again in January.
