And AHS wins the night yet again.
I was expecting way more for Syfy’s ‘Face Off’ ! Anyway, the season finale was really great, even if [SPOILER] Laura deserved to win.
Pretty great for Face Off considering it wasn’t in it’s normal time slot. And with increased competition, AHS stayed #1. Good for it.
I’m a moron.
AHS was pretty bad, last night. I guess I’m just over Ryan Murphy always mocking Catholicism.
CMDY Central I believe South Park will begin to soon show its age. I can’t see myself around until season 20 or w/e.
Please develop new && entertaining shows. Take a note out of Adult Swim. Acquire syndication shows & produce new ones. Brickleberry I HATE it, it look so cheap
Uhm, the whole season has to do with evil nunnery business, what exactly are you expecting to happen Michael? Don’t be so uptight.
AHS really should have done better on Halloween. The competition on cable right now isn’t tough, and these #’s, while perfectly adequate for renewal purposes, aren’t that impressive, particularly given how strongly the season opened.
I think they’ve gotten bogged down in too many storylines, and people are just losing interest. It’s a soap opera, not a horror show.
Yeah AHS just isn’t good this season and the falling numbers reflect that. Season 1′s story was waaaaay better
Better luck next season
Ahs as a whole has sucked this year. Love the actors hate the writing. Ryan jumped the shark early . I mean aliens, vs last season to compare overall story and writing it sucks. Last years halloween episode I could feel in my bones.
LOLOLOLOL.
SOA hits highs while AHS continues to be the REVENGE of cable television.
But the fact that AHS tied Chicago Fire just shows how weak Chicago Fire is
Never mind I guess Chicago Fire beat AHS by a tenth, small victory
@Max
I think your first response was more fitting…
Honestly I think AHS this season is just as good as last season. People need to stop comparing it to last season. I think it’s different but still really good. Not to mention Jessica Lange and Lily Rabe should both be up for Emmy’s because their performances are amazing.
Surprised by the negative reaction. I am actually liking this season better than first one. First one didn’t scare me at all nor it had a good story, but this season story is great. I am loving the concept of Science and Satan in the same show. Aliens are creepy. I agree its more mystery than horror.
@Max
Even when REVENGE ISN’T on, You still seem to trash it. Let me just tell you that REVENGE Has better ratings this year than it had last year, and last Year when REVENGE was at 10PM With a lead in of HE and Apartment 23 was still getting higher ratings then Scandal has THIS year which has a lead in Of GA.
So LEAVE REVENGE ALONE BECAUSE IT IS A BETTER SHOW AND THE RATINGS ARE PROVE IT, SO SHUT THE HELL UP, You creepy sad person.
At least AHS Wins night
. I Don’t watch It but i want to start it. 
and the Ratings Prove it*
Meryl Streep (Doubt) played a much better nun than Jessica Lange, IMO.
AHS isn’t quite as good as the first season but I still like it. I think the show should be cancellation proof though because each season is like a totally different story, some season will do better than others. It’s is a shame for FX though because the first season had the potential to become a bigger hit than SOA for them if continued for more seasons instead of rebooting.
