In a culture where shows like Jersey Shore, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo engross TV viewers everywhere, it's important to acknowledge programming that engages audiences with clever writing and stimulating material. Every so often the networks get it right and support a series that is a breath of fresh air with clearly developed characters, perfectly cast actors, and a luring and often intricate plot. In appreciation of such shows, I have started this commentary.

American Horror Story: Freak Show

Tonight we welcome back American Horror Story and it feels sooooo good. The theme for season 4 is Freak Show and Ryan Murphy has already touted this season as the scariest so far. The teasers and trailers for Freak Show have been creepy as hell, and with a serial killer clown to look forward to, I imagine some viewers will be anxious well before the FX “viewer discretion is advised” warning is over.  The returning cast includes Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Angela Bassett, Evan Peters, Frances Conroy, Dennis O’Hare, Emma Roberts, Gabourey Sidibe, and (recent Emmy Award winner!) Kathy Bates.  I'm not sure how you can go wrong with this cast, but regardless, the wait is finally over and I’m eager to see what Freak Show has behind the curtain.
