“American Horror Story” continued its quest towards “hit” status Wednesday, advancing to a series high for part one of its Halloween special.
The FX horror series garnered a healthy 1.7 adults 18-49 rating with 3.0 million viewers to win the cable ratings race. It seems viewers are getting hooked on the show, which continues building its thought-provoking mythology and escaping the “shock-a-minute” vibe of the polarizing first episode.
In other Halloween-themed news, USA’s “Psych” rose to a healthy 1.1 rating with 3.3 million viewers. One would assume the special Halloween episode was responsible for boosting numbers, although last week’s tremendous “Hangover”-themed segment also played a likely part in keeping viewers hooked.
— Charlie Sheen’s “Anger Management” has finally landed a network home–FX has acquired the comedy for a bow in the summer of 2012. The pickup is a 10-90 deal; if the first ten episodes are successful, the network will commit to a whopping 90 follow-up segments.
