I love this.
I'm watching AHS from Tuesday. He just did a 5 minute Koresh sequence. He looked just like him, but made him sound like a southern hillbilly. I didn't know he shot a lot of his followers before he burned down the place. Yikes. __________________

I think Waco will have more hype. Ryan Murphy production has lost its luster a bit. But then again what do I know, I'd be excited about Waco regardless because stuff like this interests me but clearly with Taylor's involvement I feel like it should be a must see.

I'd watch Waco over Versace even without Taylor in it.

There is also evidence that in a suicide pact while the places was burning Koresh and his right hand man did shoot one another and some of the other members also decided on killing themselves rather than be burned to death. I didn't know that they did the David Koresh thing ran on AHS this past week but it makes sense a few people who were pretty upset with how AHS portrayed the whole incident were liking the tweet and responding to the tweet I had with the video of Taylor talking about playing Koresh. |

John Leguizamo talks a bit about Waco and Taylor.

Of course I could be totally wrong. Paramount is promoting Waco pretty well so far already. "Talented. Brave. Committed." I love John. |

I'm ready to see what they do in terms of interviews, articles, social media, commercials, etc.
I think we need to see it advertised in theaters during the pre show stuff. I've seen several TV shows advertised that way this fall. __________________

Just on social media response and trailer views alone I think Waco has a significant edge. Waco's trailer had 1 million views in a day. The Versace trailer hasn't even broken the 100K mark after a week. I just think the Waco story resonates with more people. But I'm also tired of Ryan Murphy, so...
We'll see how Paramount promotes it. I hope in the next few weeks we'll get some more content. Waco has the advantage over Versace that it's not the 5th Ryan Murphy series to drop on FX and is just ho hum another day...this is their kickoff series. An interview with Paramount's president, he mentions Waco: Quote:

I was thinking today... You know how they say the boss sets the tone from the top down? Shooting Waco seemed to be a special experience for the actors -- at least the ones playing Branch Davidians and who've spoken about it on social media. So, Taylor was an executive producer and therefore he was essentially the boss. I bet he helped make it so special.
John Leguizamo was on Seth Meyers tonight but didn't mention Waco. After reading that article, I hate to sound cynical but I give it nine months before the network starts shifting to showing Paramount movies, sitcom reruns and syndicated reality shows like Cops for 18 hours a day because no one's watching. There are already about 500 cable channels for "broad audiences." And large numbers of women aren't going to be drawn to those originals. People are still going to call it "Spike but it's called Paramount now." |

I love the Versace spots on TV though. They are pretty cool.
I heard the Dodge Ram Black Friday commercial on the radio this morning. __________________

I'm currently watching Friends reruns on Spike. But I would guess they'll go for more of an HBO/Showtime feel. I could see them pulling it off. I mean right now it's just Friends/Cops reruns and Bar Rescue, anything has to be an improvement over that.

While Waco broaches a tough topic, Kay says Paramount Network drama is likely to skew a little lighter than rivals such as FX and the premium pay outlets. “It’s not criticism of FX, as I love what they do, but why would we want to go there and do the same?” he questions. “Yellowstone is an edgier version of Dallas, but it still lives in that place of optimism.” ... which makes, like, no sense to me. But who knows, maybe that's why they get paid the big bucks and I don't. lol |

Maybe that's just his way to slyly indicate that "hey, we have original reality programming" that is a bit lighter. Kayla's, Ink Master, Bar Rescue and Lip Sync Battle which is something FX doesn't really have. But interesting he chose to compare their Network platform to FX since that will be maybe their biggest competition at least initially with Waco against Versace.
