I thought Lange was sick of television and that's why she left AHS? strange that she's returning only a year later.

They had me until I read Susan Sarandon.

Why do we need this? This sound so NOT interesting! I doubt this will catch on.

They lost me at Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, FEUD and Ryan Murphy.

How many episodes into this will Murphy wait before he has Joan & Bette eating each other out?

Episode 1---'All you can eat- a Friday night Buffet at Joan and Bettes' Fishhouse'.

I don't know... Murphy did more than OK with The People vs O.J. Simpson. Certainly a lot better than most here predicted. And with Lange as Crawford, Sarandon as Davis, Stanley Tucci as Jack Warner and Judy Davis as Hedda Hopper... I'm all in!

Who will Lea Michelle be?

I think it is a fun idea although it may appeal more to senior citizens so not quite sure how it will do in the ratings.

Yes, honey. We know that Queen Murphy can do no wrong in your eyes. Give up the old, tired schtick.

Murphy also didn't write the OJ miniseries, which is why it did so well- for whatever his talents, he is an awful writer.

As for this, I guess it could be fun, but why not just cast drag queens? Ultimately, that's what all the women in a Ryan Murphy production end up being anyway.

Crawford way hotter.

Jordan Jordan! Post #8 is nasty! (and I love it!)

btw, Lea Michelle has to be Christina Crawford. Wouldn't you like to beat her with a wire hanger?

Would anyone care to guess how much Murphy's seven TV series and four films have grossed?  His output may not be to your taste but he's far from being a loser.

One would think B.D. Hyman, Bette's daughter, would be more likely than Christina Crawford to be on the show.  Hyman was actually in Baby Jane.

And knowing Murphy he will dive into the Crawford's lesbian proclivities.

Well Running With Scissors, which had a typically great cast and should have played to Murphy's strengths was a huge flop. Regardless, as OJ showed he is great at getting a good cast and producing. Not writing. I would hope he wouldn't be involved in the writing here either, but given the subject matter we know he (and silent partner in crime, Brad Falchuk) won't be able to resist

Just read "Best Actress" by Jaffe Cohen and Michael Zam, which Murphy and Pitt bought and are basing this project on.

Wow.  Just wow.

This is going to be so amazing, funny, campy, shocking and poignant. A real tearjerker in the best way.

Damn, Lange is going to KILL IT as Joan Crawford:
