This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report. The week in which this happened:

January 31 to February 6, 2016 (20th)

Text and/or other creative content from this version of American Crime Story was copied or moved into American Crime Story: The People v. O. J. Simpson with this edit on March 9, 2016. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

I'm not sure if crediting Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski as the creators is accurate[edit]

So far, I've only seen Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk receiving credits as the creators, while Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski have been credited only as executive producers and screenwriters. Is there any source to prove me otherwise? Thanks. Israeldmo (talk) 04:03, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Related / "companion" series to AHS[edit]

The article calls the series a companion piece (found here and in other press coverage]), and it links American Horror Story as related. What exactly is a "companion" series? Is that a real thing or merely a press release promotional term? And what makes the two series "related", other than both being an anthology series by the same creator? This is not explained in the article. And it would probably not warrant it in the {{Infobox Television}} then. –Dark Cocoa Frosting (talk) 20:24, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The two series are not related at all. They simply share some of the same producers. One is non-fiction. The other is entirely fictional. One is not the sequel to the other. They are not in the same universe. It does no good for readers to include a vague term like "companion series", which really means nothing, and for which no explanation has been given. The article includes the fact the two shows share some of the same producers. No more connection between them should be inferred beyond that, because there is none. - Gothicfilm (talk) 13:00, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Then the {{Infobox Television}} should not say they are related, and neither should the infobox on American Horror Story. –Dark Cocoa Frosting (talk) 23:55, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I fully agree. - Gothicfilm (talk) 00:29, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

US ratings[edit]

Here's an article on the ratings of the show (Coachtripfan (talk) 19:44, 13 April 2016 (UTC))[reply]

Max Greenfield[edit]

There maybe something to this... the most recent story I can fins is this one in Harper's Bazaar which states "New Girl's Max Greenfield has also been cast in an unknown role." Outside of that E Online story, what relaible sources do we have for Max's role?? Tabercil (talk) 12:47, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Warring[edit]

@Njorent:@216.205.234.15: Please be advised rapid revisions of each other's content could be considered "Edit Warring" which is specifically not permitted in the Wikipedia community. I encourage you both to suspend additional edits to this article and discuss the matter here. If you are unable to arrive at an agreement, I recommend you seek dispute resolution or allow other editors to take over. Thank you. Operator873^CONNECT 01:59, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Editing for Season 4[edit]

According to this report from a press conference held with John Landgraf from FX this past January, it seems to indicate that that the Studio 54 idea for Season 4 that the article still lists as a given has been shelved, and the subject matter for the fourth season still remains up in the air. I take it this means that we should edit the article to reflect this accordingly.
