What to watch on Wednesday, October 5...
Please take a break from the saxophone practice for a second— YES, you are good at saxophone. YES, your saxophone playing is sensual and captivating. YES, the quiet storm has arrived. But listen to me: It's time to watch TV!
SERIES PREMIERE, 10pm, FX
American Horror Story
It's been a while since we've had a good, old-fashioned horror serial on TV, but is Ryan Murphy really the person to bring it to us? (We ALL know how Nip/Tuck ended up.) Anyway, American Horror Story follows a young family (headed up by Connie Britton and Dylan McDermott) attempting to make a fresh start after infidelity issues and a miscarriage. But will their relocation to a haunted L.A. mansion help or hinder things? HINT: It doesn't help.
MIDSEASON PREMIERE, 10pm, Comedy Central
South Park
Picking up where spring's incredibly downbeat midseason finale left off, Stan is still dealing with cynicism and Cartman comes to suspect he has Asberger's. Will their prognoses improve? Everyone knows that happiness is only a fecal-matter joke away.
8pm, NBC
Up All Night
Tonight Reagan and Chris continue to fight the good fight against their increasing uncoolness by shopping for a family car that won't look embarrassing. Plus Ava decides to incorporate more serious topics into her show, but doesn't want to have to actually deal with serious things. The classic Oprah Winfrey vs. Wendy Williams talk show host conundrum!
10pm, NBC
Law & Order: SVU
When a pregnant 13-year-old girl (OBVIOUSLY the plot starts this way) won't reveal who got her pregnant, the team must investigate all the possible statutory rapists in the area. This show.
SERIES PREMIERE, 10pm, Discovery
Penn & Teller Tell a Lie
Penn & Teller have made a career of being snarky, intelligent skeptics of the fringes of the entertainment world, and their new Discovery series promises to continue that tradition. In Penn & Teller Tell a Lie, the magicians present seven outrageous stories or scenarios, and by the end you'll have to decide which story is the false one. Fine, GAME ON, you guys.
ORIGINAL SPECIAL, 9pm, HBO
George Harrison: Living in the Material World
Martin Scorsese directs this two-part special (Part 2 airs tomorrow night) about George Harrison, the late, great Beatle who forged an incredible career through experimentation in music, drugs, religion, Indian music, the arts scene, and British cooking. (I'm guessing.)

I'll try AHS; other than that, for sure: South Park, Happy Endings, Modern Family, and Penn & Teller. They have a show in the UK called "Fool Us," about other magicians performing tricks and P&T trying to figure out if they know how it's done. If you like P&T, check it out.
I watched Fool Us, cool stuff. I loved to read some forums where people tried to understand the tricks.
Survivor, Criminal Minds, Ghost Hunters and American Horror Story.
