    for those that don't know the Ryan Murphy is creating a "spin off" to his American Horror Story.

    It will be another anthology series this time, however, focusing on true events.

    The first season is entitled The People Vs. OJ Simpson focusing on the trial through the eyes of the lawyers.

    Already Cast:
    Cuba Gooding Jr.
    John Travolta
    Sara Paulson

    Show will air sometime this year.

    FX has a better track record for shows than HBO and AMC.

    And that show about the disease spreading or some s---.

    Plus theyve never had a show as good as Breaking Bad, Mad Men and don't even get me started on comparing FX to HBO.

    FX is consistently very good. That's it. Apart from maybe The Shield they haven't had that channel defining show that HBO/AMC/Showtime have had in the past.

    The Shield is definitely my favorite FX drama... But, I would call It's Always Sunny, Sons of Anarchy and Louie Network defining shows as well.

    Breaking Bad is a great great show. IASIP is at its level just in another genre.

    Sunny is hilarious but definitely not BB level even taking the fact that its a different genre into account.

    Sunny isn't as good as Curb either.

    As long as we're doing this vs that, then I'll go ahead and say that television is film's r-----ed cousin.

    It will be interesting to see how Murphy an handle doing a nonfiction show especially with a subject like the OJ trial.

    I would be more excited if American Horror Story was still good. I'm not sure I trust Ryan Murphy anymore since AHS is basically the same thing every season with a different theme. But dramatizations of real crimes are usually pretty interesting so I'll check it out.

    Full trailer is finally out for this...has, at least, the potential to be 10x better than anything AHS ever did
