gemfyreI don't watch much TV, I find most shows are pretty crappy and don't hold my interest for long.
But in 1996 there was a show that stood above the rest. That show was American Gothic. A small town in Southern U.S.A., ruled by an evil sherriff and populated by a bizarre mix of characters and one ghost (well one ghost that was a main character).
I ADORED this show. I missed the first episode but watched the other 19 religiously every Wednesday. After it was axed my brother found he had the first eposide on tape, so I watched that and a lot more made sense. I only have the last double episode on tape now though.
I would KILL to have copies of this show on video or a format I can play on the computer. Jared, I will be one of your adoring hordes if you find me AG episodes.
There is a virtual second and third season on line written by fans and it is BRILLIANT!! The weird thing is that in the virtual second season a young (alive) girl was introduced. That was freaky because in my own fanfic follow on _I_ introduced an almost identical character. A Lucas antagonist. The storyline must have been begging for that character for 2 or more people to decide to stick her in a fanfic.
Anyone else absolutely love this show?? Or even like it a bit?? I need fellow mourners.
"Step into my parlour, said the spider to the fly."
"Rack yer balls Ben?"

Date: 2002-10-08 02:55 am (UTC)I used to love watching American Gothic too. I have been living in hope the last few years that maybe Channel 4 will repeat it one day...this still hasn't happened.
I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that it was repeated at a very irregular time slot and at an odd hour on the Sci Fi Channel.
Maybe oneday a TV exec will see the light....?:/
