Loved it and watched it from day one. Gary Cole was great and menacing, and 
Lucas Black was quite a find. I agree with you he hasn't quite reached the 
potential he showed in "American Gothic" and "Sling Blade". I was really 
excited to see where he'd go. He has such an intense personality. But alas, 
aside from "Friday Night Lights", I can't remember him with major roles in any 
other work. He works all the time--"Legion" , "Jarhead", "Cold Mountain"--just 
not as visibly as I'd hoped.

And don't forget "American Gothic" is the brainchild of former Hardy Boys teen 
heart throb Saun Cassidy. Cassidy was also behind the short-lived series 
"Invasion" (a modern take on the "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" theme), and, 
he was one of the producer/writers for the short-lived series "Roar", which 
starred Heath Ledger as a Celtic warrior. When Cassidy's penchant for edge, 
adult fare started manifesting itself, quite a few suits and fews were 
surprised. I think he's one of the best talents in the scifi/fantasy genre. 
Unfortunately, he likes to write densely layered plots that take time to 
develop, and don't really on a lot of quick killing and action, so networks 
rarely give his stuff more than one year.

He ought to try his hand at more movies, or maybe people like him and Joss 
Whedon need to form an outfit to get their stuff produced on networks that 
might actually support them for a while. Fox and ABC don't have the staying 
power.

Hey Guys,

 
American Gothic is on Chiller for the next few hours. I was very much into this 
series (but never into Twin Peaks oddly enough) and somewhat amazed that it 
made it past a pitch session onto TV even if it was cancelled after one season. 
Produced by our buddy Sam Raimi it featured a few actors (Gary Cole, Jake 
Weber, Sarah Paulson) who are pretty successful these days. Lucas Black hasn't 
quite lived up to his potential, but you had to love him as a kid with that 
heavy Southern accent. Did anyone else watch it?

I think HBO would be great for them. God save me from TruBlood (sorry fans). 
 
I did see the first episode of American Gothic and it was shocking. Just think 
about the premise in its entirety though, the central anti-character Buck is a 
supernatural, serial-killing, master manipulator, raping uh Sherriff who's 
pitted against his eight year old son conceived after he raped the boy's mother 
(who later commits suicide)... And his eight year old son spends a great deal 
of time speaking with his dead sister Merlyn who watched the aforementioned 
rape and went supernaturally batty. PLUS our devil Buck gets to hang out in the 
confession booth at church with the priest giving him the scoop on all the 
locals. And I think it was on CBS of all stations.

Exactly, that's why I mentioned them. Cassidy is also not a director who needs 
a lot of money for FX and sets. He likes to do plot-driven stuff, so i think 
his talents would work with one of the cable stations that can stick with a 
show for a time. The so-called broadcast networks are just to difficult to 
please. The likes of "Lost", "Chuck", "Heroes" are the rare exceptions. I'm 
worried about "Human Target" for that reason. If it flags, maybe USA or TNT can 
grab it...

American Gothic is on Chiller for the next few hours. I was very much into this

Tracey, if the latter was true, then the work must've been *very* sub-par in 
comparison to their usual standards.

I think HBO would be great for them. God save me from TruBlood (sorry fans).

 
I did see the first episode of American Gothic and it was shocking. Just
think about the premise in its entirety though, the central anti-character
Buck is a supernatural, serial-killing, master manipulator, raping uh
Sherriff who's pitted against his eight year old son conceived after he
raped the boy's mother (who later commits suicide)... And his eight year old
son spends a great deal of time speaking with his dead sister Merlyn who
watched the aforementioned rape and went supernaturally batty. PLUS our
devil Buck gets to hang out in the confession booth at church with the
priest giving him the scoop on all the locals. And I think it was on CBS of
all stations.

spooky side of things. Do you recall the shocking murder in the first ep of
"American Gothic"? You *never* see anything like that on American
television! There were some genuinely creepy moments in "Invasion" as well.

Joss Whedon's work doesn't make it on network TV--aside from Buffy and

Hey Guys,

 
American Gothic is on Chiller for the next few hours. I was very much into
this series (but never into Twin Peaks oddly enough) and somewhat amazed
that it made it past a pitch session onto TV even if it was cancelled after
one season. Produced by our buddy Sam Raimi it featured a few actors (Gary
Cole, Jake Weber, Sarah Paulson) who are pretty successful these days. Lucas
Black hasn't quite lived up to his potential, but you had to love him as a
kid with that heavy Southern accent. Did anyone else watch it?

I noticed that too, Aubrey. One of my mentors growing up was the Jesuit priest 
who christened me, and he always believed that there was an innate balancing 
act going on behind the scenes between Good and Evil. I'm seeing small cases of 
that in the lives of the people immediately about me.

On a final note!!! I just watched the episode titled Inhumanitas which reminds 
me of a couple more reasons why I love this show. Lucas is evil but I swear he 
has this weird sense of justice that I just love. People sit on the fence, 
right on top of it wanting to do the right thing but feeling the lure of the 
wrong then, then Buck gives them a push and as soon as they fall not he evil 
side, they pay dearly and whoever they were going to screw gets rewarded.

Yeah, Cassidy is really talented. He has a gift for working the suspenseful,

"American Gothic"? You *never* see anything like that on American television!

On a final note!!! I just watched the episode titled Inhumanitas which reminds 
me of a couple more reasons why I love this show. Lucas is evil but I swear he 
has this weird sense of justice that I just love. People sit on the fence, 
right on top of it wanting to do the right thing but feeling the lure of the 
wrong then, then Buck gives them a push and as soon as they fall not he evil 
side, they pay dearly and whoever they were going to screw gets rewarded.

aside from "Friday Night Lights", I can't remember him with major roles in any 
other work. He works all the time--"Legion", "Jarhead", "Cold Mountain"--just 
not as visibly as I'd hoped.

And don't forget "American Gothic" is the brainchild of former Hardy Boys teen 
heart throb Saun Cassidy. Cassidy was also behind the short-lived series 
"Invasion" (a modern take on the "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" theme), and, 
he was one of the producer/writers for the short-lived series "Roar", which 
starred Heath Ledger as a Celtic warrior. When Cassidy's penchant for edge, 
adult fare started manifesting itself, quite a few suits and fews were 
surprised. I think he's one of the best talents in the scifi/fantasy genre. 
Unfortunately, he likes to write densely layered plots that take time to 
develop, and don't really on a lot of quick killing and action, so networks 
rarely give his stuff more than one year.

He ought to try his hand at more movies, or maybe people like him and Joss 
Whedon need to form an outfit to get their stuff produced on networks that 
might actually support them for a while. Fox and ABC don't have the staying 
power.

Hey Guys,

 
American Gothic is on Chiller for the next few hours. I was very much into this 
series (but never into Twin Peaks oddly enough) and somewhat amazed that it 
made it past a pitch session onto TV even if it was cancelled after one season. 
Produced by our buddy Sam Raimi it featured a few actors (Gary Cole, Jake 
Weber, Sarah Paulson) who are pretty successful these days. Lucas Black hasn't 
quite lived up to his potential, but you had to love him as a kid with that 
heavy Southern accent. Did anyone else watch it?

Yeah, Cassidy is really talented. He has a gift for working the suspenseful, 
spooky side of things. Do you recall the shocking murder in the first ep of 
"American Gothic"? You *never* see anything like that on American television! 
There were some genuinely creepy moments in "Invasion" as well. I really liked 
that show...

 

It seems to be me that every couple of years there's a discussion about why 
Joss Whedon's work doesn't make it on network TV--aside from Buffy and Angel, 
that is. There's all the discussions about how Fox won't stay with a good show 
for too long (such as the great, lamented "Tru Calling", a show I loved). I 
wonder if Whendon would do better on FX, USA, or even HBO/Showtime? Maybe good 
people like him and Cassidy should try that

Loved it and watched it from day one. Gary Cole was great and menacing, and 
Lucas Black was quite a find. I agree with you he hasn't quite reached the 
potential he showed in "American Gothic" and "Sling Blade". I was really 
excited to see where he'd go. He has such an intense personality. But alas, 
aside from "Friday Night Lights", I can't remember him with major roles in any 
other work. He works all the time--"Legion", "Jarhead", "Cold Mountain"--just 
not as visibly as I'd hoped.

And don't forget "American Gothic" is the brainchild of former Hardy Boys teen 
heart throb Saun Cassidy. Cassidy was also behind the short-lived series 
"Invasion" (a modern take on the "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" theme), and, 
he was one of the producer/writers for the short-lived series "Roar", which 
starred Heath Ledger as a Celtic warrior. When Cassidy's penchant for edge, 
adult fare started manifesting itself, quite a few suits and fews were 
surprised. I think he's one of the best talents in the scifi/fantasy genre. 
Unfortunately, he likes to write densely layered plots that take time to 
develop, and don't really on a lot of quick killing and action, so networks 
rarely give his stuff more than one year.

He ought to try his hand at more movies, or maybe people like him and Joss 
Whedon need to form an outfit to get their stuff produced on networks that 
might actually support them for a while. Fox and ABC don't have the staying 
power.

Hey Guys, 

  
American Gothic is on Chiller for the next few hours. I was very much into this 
series (but never into Twin Peaks oddly enough) and somewhat amazed that it 
made it past a pitch session onto TV even if it was cancelled after one season. 
Produced by our buddy Sam Raimi it featured a few actors (Gary Cole, Jake 
Weber, Sarah Paulson) who are pretty successful these days. Lucas Black hasn't 
quite lived up to his potential, but you had to love him as a kid with that 
heavy Southern accent. Did anyone else watch it?
