On FX. The pilot was on tonight & I think I'll be watching. Not because I think it's good. I want to know what happens next

I'd planned on starting to watch it this year, but as soon as I saw the season was about witches, I lost interest.

It wasn't bad, but it slowly devolved into a mess.

Typical Falchuk Murphy BS, think Glee, Nip-Tuck,

**The Bad Guy** · 02-05-2014, 07:56 PM

Loved season one.

Liked season two a lot.

Didn't care for season three.

I'll still watch season four, but if it goes like this one, I'm done.

Exactly what season 2 and 3 have in common.

Starts off good and then completely unravels.

Other than Lange and Bates, (and maybe Lange's daughter), they didnt really spend enough time developing any of the other characters.

I still enjoyed it, even though the 2nd half was the mess that it was.

A little darker.....and a whole lot less singing/dancing please!

Spoiler!

It was like... The producer was driving his convertable around and kept hitting the >> button on his iPod until he realized he had his wife's. He landed on some old Fleetwood Mac and said, "Holy Shit, I wonder if she's still alive. Maybe I could get her on the show!"
He called the director and they both got high as **** and decided that the only thing that would be better than a quick cameo on the show would be to base the entire ****ing season around the goat-voiced old biddy.

Not good.

The acting is good, but the story is pretty shitty.

Not that I'm defending it, but the Stevie Nicks openly claims to be a witch IRL.. which is probably why she was there.

Though I think you're over-reacting to a person who appeared for all of 10 total minutes of screen time. There are plenty of other reasons I'd pan this season that don't seem as petty as complaining endlessly about a celebrity cameo.

Ok, I suppose the fact that most of these bitches died then kept coming back, the Kathy Bates thing really ended terribly, fratenstein guy, the swamp witch, Downie witch, etc. etc.
They just couldn't pick a storyline.

Michael Chiklis Joining FX’s ‘American Horror Story: Freak Show’

By ANTHONY D'ALESSANDRO | Friday March 28, 2014 @ 8:48pm PDTTags: American Horror Story, Michael Chiklis, PaleyFest

TFreak Showhe biggest news on the closing night of PaleyFest was the reveal that Michael Chiklis is joining the American Horror Story cast for the fourth season. Series co-creator Ryan Murphy said the Emmy winner will make his AMS debut playing the father of Evan Peters’ character and the ex-husband of Kathy Bates’ character on American Horror Story: Freak Show, the title of which Murphy announced in a tweet this week.

Michael Chiklis“What a way to come back to my home network,” Chiklis told the screaming crowd at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. “We’re going to freak you and scare you!” Said Murphy: “Every person on this stage is coming back,” referring to Bates, Emma Roberts (Madison Montgomery), Angela Bassett (Marie Laveau), Sarah Paulson (Cordelia Grove), Gabourey Sidibe (Queenie), Frances Conroy (Myrtle Snow), Jamie Brewer (Nan), Denis O’Hare (Spalding) and Evan Peters (Kyle Spencer). While most of the castmembers were announced in the press recently, Roberts and O’Hare were known to be holdouts. Prior to the panel tonight, both actors told Deadline that they were still in talks.

FX picked up a fourth season of the horror show in November, and Murphy offered some details about Freak Show during tonight’s panel. “It’s not a circus, it’s not a carnival, it’s a freak show set in 1950, and it was a concept that Jessica Lange talked about as she wanted to play this type of character,” he said about Lange’s German-expatriate character who is the boss of the freak show. “We’re shooting in New Orleans, but the series will be set in Florida,” Murphy added. He also discussed how FX never expected American Horror Story: Coven to be the highest-rated season. “There’s always a division among the research [department] for this show,” said Murphy, who co-created the show with Brad Falchuk. “I was told that the third season wouldn’t be as highly rated as the others, because it felt more niche.” The January 29 season finale of the show’s third iteration, American Horror Story: Coven, attracted nearly 6 million viewers — counting its premiere run and encores — nearly 4 million of them in the 18-49 demo.

What drove the crowd in Murphy’s opinion was “the most amazing group of women we could wrangle for the show.” After the grim previous season of American Horror Story: Asylum, he sought a more contemporary and glamorous plot line. Falchuk said: “What Coven became was this idea of mothers and daughters. What does it mean to be a mother? What does it be more daughter? You can’t have more female horror genre than witches.”

As far as the reception of the panel, the stacked house screamed liked it was a Lady Gaga concert. It’s a wonder why FX doesn’t break the cast from their summer shooting schedule to take AHS to Comic-Con. Pinnacles the crowd took to tonight included Sidibe re-enacting Sarah Paulson’s off-the-set encounter in the New Orleans French Quarter when she was waterbombed by a passerby, as well as the cast ribbing an absent Lange, who was not present as she was spending time with her grandchildren. “She bakes for them — in the furniture from last season!” quipped Bates. “Jessica probably took the light fixture,” said Paulson about the whereabouts of the series’ best props, “She’s a thief!”

DJJasonp · 03-30-2014, 09:45 AM

The premise has some hope.

But the fact that coven was the highest rated season, where as they put it, they went more "contemporary and glamorous" plotline......

We could be headed down the wrong direction here....

Apparently I might be in the minority.....as I loved the darkness/twisted first and second seasons.

**hometeam** · 03-30-2014, 10:58 AM

I think i may have posted it here before.. season one was incredible, season 2 was ok, I really liked season 3..

But for 4, a carnival? Seriously? Who is scared of carnivals?

oh.. me

Im even more scared of freak shows

ModSocks · 03-31-2014, 01:59 PM

Some things i can promise about AHS S4:

1. The trailers will look ****ing epic, but most of what we see in the trailer/opening Credits will NOT be in the show.

2. There will be a sing-a-long style "Glee" episode in there somewhere

3. One of the producer's favorite singers will play a cameo, but no one will give two ****s about it and will likely think it's dumb.

4. It will start off interesting, something shocking/gross will happen in the middle, and then fall completely flat on its face at the end leaving us scratching our heads and saying, "it started off so promising, but wtf, that was the stupidest way to end it....ever"
