Me too. Jessica Lange plays quite the cougar. Kathy Bates is just as scary as in Misery. Angela Bassett, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Sorry to say that I missed season two. Will surely have to catch up on that. I have to record the repeat of last weeks episode, The Replacements as my DVR froze and missed the last ten minutes of the episode.
 
Jessica Lange Talks Retirement, Says She'll Only Do One More Season Of 'American Horror Story' | The Playlist

Speaking with the LA Times, she revealed that she has a bucket list of sorts of projects she wants to do before hanging it up. "I am coming to the end of acting," she told the paper. "I have a list: another stage production, maybe one or two more movies, one more season of 'American Horror Story'... and then that is it for me. Because I think that's enough. I want to go out with a bang ... or should I say, a scare?"

But don't misinterpret that for a lack of appreciation for the cable show. "It reenergized me; it reenergized my career," she said of her role as Constance Langdon. "There's no shame in recognizing that. It's exposed me to a whole new generation, which is a little strange. I'm not used to young people thinking I'm cool."

"It brought back the thrill of acting," she continued. "It was the perfect storm. It's all the tired stuff everybody says — age working against you, films that made your career not being made anymore. But also, I really needed a distraction in my life; I was still getting used to the idea of my kids leaving the nest. I thought it was a good time to go out on a limb because horror is not my thing."

Sad to hear, but good for her.
 
Justified, Archer, Chozen part of FX winter schedule

* Season 5 of "Justified" will premiere on Tuesday, January 7 at 10 p.m. Usual night, usual window; the most notable aspect of the release is that Jere Burns now appears to be part of the regular cast as Wynn Duffy, which only increases the odds of an eventual "Wynn-ebago" web series.

* "The Americans," which premiered at the very end of January this year (and whose premiere date was announced separately from "Justified" and the other shows), will premiere sometime in February, presumably again on Wednesdays at 10.

* "Archer" season 5 will debut on Mondays at 10 starting January 13. When some of FX's other Thursday comedies moved to FXX, they shifted to Wednesdays to get away from Thursday NFL games, but that's not an issue in winter.

* "Chozen," an animated comedy about a gay white rapper fresh out of prison ? from a production team that combines the creators of "Eastbound & Down" and "Archer" ? will debut on Monday the 13th, after "Archer." The idea is to use an established hit ? and an animated one, at that ? to launch the new series, rather than pair it with a lower-profile, less-compatible performer on FXX. But the fact that it's still unclear which show belongs on what channel is not that great for the idea of establishing an identity for FXX.

* "Legit," the low-key sitcom starring Australian comic Jim Jefferies, will premiere its second season on FXX sometime in February. It will now be paired with "Ali G: Rezurection," a repackaging of "Da Ali G Show" featuring new introductions by Sacha Baron Cohen.

Wait, Archer on Mondays??? Ok. And yeah, it would seem that FXX is having a rough start...Sunny/The League seem sort of irrelevant, and that talk show dude has lost significant ground. Might be because, besides repeats, that is all that is on there. One hour of new programming a week and a nightly talk show. I guess they want to protect Chozen, although their animation record - Archer is a little iffy. Hope they aren't hanging Legit out to die.

My big gripe is that they dont show reruns of Justified or SOA for me to get caught up.
 
FX Renews American Horror Story for a Fourth Season - Dread Central

Duh.

Finally binged on the first four...a lot darker than I expected. Really enjoying it. One major flaw...Gabourey Sidebhe is a terrible actress. Seriously. She cannot finish a line without smirking like she can't even believe she is an actress. Terrible. The autistic girl is 100x better than she is. Like that most of the men are mute, and Spalding throws a hell of a tea party.
 
Kathy Bates and Angela Bassett Returning for Season 4 of American Horror Story? - Dread Central

"I have approached them and they wanna do it,” says Murphy. "That’s very exciting when you can work with A.) actresses you’ve always idolized and B.) those two are loving this season. They love what they get to do. Kathy Bates sent the writers a basket of plush toys all in the shapes of disemboweled organs. It doesn’t get better than when an Oscar winner sends you a grab bag of stuffed pancreas to say ‘Thank you and job well done'.”

It's a real good season so far. After a so-so first season they really seem th have this show running full tilt off-the-rails. Best work that Lange has ever done(i.m.o.)

I do honestly wonder why they don't do more repeats of older episodes. I would love to be channel surfing and notice some Justified Season 2 going on.

In other news, the Lady and I are about 10 epsiodes into the first season of SOA. Enjoying it muchly.

Trying to boost DVD sales? *shrug*

SOA season 5 finally showed up on netflix, just watched 4 eps last night. Now i need to find the last season of justified
 
Far as I know Amazon is where Justified got sold to and I do not think it qualifies for Amazon Prime(you may wanna check), but yeah, I would imagine dvd sales are a large part of it. Odd though, I think it may be a creator owned issue because all of Fx's shows have varying degrees of accessibility. A LOT on Netflix(Louie/Sons/Wilfred) but then you have your Shield/Justified which are on Amazon(Shield also on Hulu, I think). In the case of Wilfred/Louie those went up pretty quickly after the dvd sets went on sale so like I said it seems to be a case by case issue.
