  • It is a hell of a lot more entertaining than the Walking Dead which for some reason everyone seems to love.

• No. You’re wrong. It’s not.

  • Actually, he’s not wrong (entirely). The second season was horrible, scattered and unfocused. Felt like the final season of “Lost”.

    • Actually, I think you’re both wrong and right – it wasn’t the first season, which was so good, but it wasn’t unwatchable either. There is so little on TV these days that takes risks, succumbing to the network bores that only want the next big hit, at any cost. The acting is excellent, the concept is daring. Too violent? Yes. Meandering? Yes. Over the top? Yes. But it’s something to watch, beyond reality TV and procedural CBS**t. And the casting? FANTASTIC.

• I wish her well. She’s a wonderful actress. To me ,the real American “Horror Story” was when those idiots at Nbc cancelled Harry’s Law. I miss that program soooo much.Well,at least Kathy will be on tv somewhere. Wish her all the best.

• I’m very happy and excited for Kathy Bates and the audience, who receives the real reward by getting to see her back on television.
  The lunkheads over at NBC have no one but themselves to blame for their struggles, as evidenced by their moronic decision to cancel Harry’s Law just because it was skewing older. Older viewers comprise the most stable audience around. And David E. Kelly and co. gave NBC a top-shelf product in Harry’s Law, the like of which won’t be seen again for some time unfortunately.

• The real “American Horror Story” is that older Oscar-winning actresses can only find work on shitty cable shows.

• This woman can act man. Her Off Broadway performance with Kenneth Welsh in McNally’s “Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune” remains memorable for me decades later.
