MarkBlankenship February 24, 2015 Share February 24, 2015 Oh come ON, y'all! AHS is not an going series just because of a few characters reappear. It's an anthology series that purposely reinvents itself every year. It has narrative echoes, certainly, but it's not, per the Emmy's new rules, following a consistent set of characters/stories over a consistent period of time. Put this show next to Homeland, which also completely rebooted itself this season. Despite the new setting and many new characters, the show is still dominated by the extension of Carrie, Saul, and Quinn's ongoing stories, whereas the callbacks in AHS were Easter Egg-y ornaments in an otherwise unrelated story. It's incredibly cool that the callbacks happened, but I cannot --- nay, WILL NOT --- accept that they turn AHS into a continuing drama. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/92469-extra-hot-great/page/28/#findComment-861970

Joseph Finn February 24, 2015 Share February 24, 2015 Yes, it's an anthology series; an ongoing, in it's fourth season anthology series. So yes, I think the new Emmy rules still have a big giant loophole for AHS to exploit. (Then there's the silliness about how Sherlock, which REALLY is an ongoing series, is eligible for TV movie.) ALL THAT SAID, I do agree in appreciating the Emmys are trying to adapt (and I especially like the new Guest Actor rules). 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/92469-extra-hot-great/page/28/#findComment-862029

Monty February 26, 2015 Share February 26, 2015 I don't care if there are ongoing characters, and I think that's a red herring. Anthologies aren't miniseries. Proper anthology shows like The Twilight Zone and Amazing Stories got nominations as Drama. Or Comedy, in the case of Love, American Style. If there's another season with the same title, like "American Horror Story," or "Fargo," or "Sherlock," it's a regular series with short seasons.

Actionmage February 26, 2015 Share February 26, 2015 The classic anthologies you name were different everything, every week-- story, cast, writers, and directors. (Not that some weren't rotated, but they weren't the same character in a continuing story.) The way that AHS and (supposedly) Fargo are being touted is as one self-contained story in a season. That's a mini-/ limited series. Less episodes than the usual, open-ended series' season and a complete story told in those episodes. Those classic shows? Twilight Zone had five seasons of between 18 and 39 episodes. Amazing Stories has a 24 episode 1st season and a 21 episode second. Love, American Style had 15 to 24 episode seasons with usually three stories told in each half hour. I can see a case that these , if made currently, should meet the "anthology= mini" criteria, but I also see where they legitimately could ask for on-going series consideration due to the sheer amount of product for broadcast.

gpgurl50 March 1, 2015 Share March 1, 2015 In regards to the music on Nashville, I was actually interested in this topic when the show first came out. I think they said that T Bone Burnett was friends with a lot of songwriters who were willing to have their music on the show. Several of the songs in the first season were released by bands before getting onto the show. Even songs that were written for the show still got performed by the people who wrote them in their own sets. Then in later seasons they talked about how the actors had started writing/co-writing their own music but I don't know how often their own music was used. And they do tour as everyone said, so they are making money for themselves. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/92469-extra-hot-great/page/28/#findComment-877588
