This has been particularly true with his series of AMERICAN STORIES that have cemented FX’s place in the entertainment ecosystem for such showcasings. AMERICAN HORROR STORY was the first of these anthologies, and was able to attract both
If You Look To Rebuild An Argument, Make Sure You’ve Got A Solid Foundation
It turns out our friend Evan Shapiro, who is rapidly becoming one of the more influential and honest brokers and truth-tellers of media measurement on the planet, had much more up his sleeve besides the fact checking of the latest Netflix data dump he promised last week. Yesterday, in what he announced as a preview

Or anyone who thinks those subjects deserve equal time in our minds. Thankfully, we are also starting to get a trickle of new seasons of original series at the
She Has High Potential. Not To Mention A LOT Of Clout.
The surest sign that some sense of normalcy has returned to broadcast television was the premiere of an honest-to-goodness, never-before executed (well, at least in North America) scripted drama in the month of September. That honor went to ABC’s HIGH POTENTIAL, which had the challenge of counterprogramming an umpteeth rerun of FBI: MOST WANTED and
A Dish Served Cold
Amdist all of the more immediate noise and issues surrounding DIRECTV over the past couple of weeks that ultimately culminated in Saturday’s cease-fire in their war with Disney mere minutes ahead of a second consecutive Saturday without COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAMEDAY (more significantly, mere hours ahead of Dana Walden’s personal victory lap not being able to
