His Wednesday must-watch (10/19)

What am I watching tonight? Obviously Revenge, but that's been a must-watch for 2 weeks running so maybe it's time for it to take a break. You all know I'm watching it anyway.

So what else is on? Well, there's Happy Endings, which I did not watch out of the gate in the Spring, but have caught a little of this year. I think it's pretty funny, but it honestly hasn't made it to automatic "record" status quite yet. Maybe I'll check that out.

There's also game one of the World Series (that's baseball for those of you that don't like sports). Too bad this year the final 2 teams (St. Louis and Texas) provide us with what promises to be a complete snooze-fest of a series. So that's out.

Ooh! An E! True Hollywood Story about Casey Anthony. Umm...pass.

So I guess tonight I will turn my must-watch attention to a show that has so far come highly recommended from her, American Horror Story (10/9c, FX). Now I haven't watched the pilot, so I'll be going back to do some catching up, but from all accounts so far this show brings some disturbing things to Wednesday nights. I don't know how I feel about Connie Britton playing a role other than Tammy Taylor, but we'll see.

Her Wednesday must-watch (10/5)

Connie Britton from Friday Night Lights. Denis O'Hare from True Blood. Jessica freakin Lange from too many things to mention. Dylan McDermott from The Practice, and my dreams. These are just some of the amazing cast members that star in my Wednesday must-watch: American Horror Story (10/9c on FX).

It's not often a show like this comes along - I think. I don't know a heck of a lot about this show, except that a family moves from Boston to Los Angeles to get away from their past, just to find themselves in a new situation that doesn't exactly seem awesome. At least that's the vibe I get from the suspense-filled promos filled with  quick cutaways that remind me of a horror movie trailer. Regardless, American Horror Story has me intrigued. Want a sneak peek? You can watch the first 5 minutes of the show here.

I'm excited. I'm scared. I'll probably watch with the light on and a phone nearby in case I need to call for help. And I'll definitely be saving Happy Endings or Modern Family to watch afterwards to make sure I'm in a laughing mood rather than a panic attack mood before bed. Here's hoping Cam's bike shorts make a cameo.
