American Gothic

[NightmareManiac]

American Gothic is a horror/drama/thriller series set in the heart of South Carolina in a small town called Trinity. In this town not everyone is as they seem and everyone seems to follow their leader, Sheriff Lucas Buck. Lucas's son, Caleb Temple, was brought up by another family and was lead to believe that a man called Gage was his father. The local doctor, Matt Crower, gets curious when suddenly the Sheriff wants everything to do with Caleb. Then Caleb's cousin, Gail Emory, comes to town to protect Caleb in every way she can, but that is extremely difficult when she fall in love with Lucas. Then Caleb's school teacher, Miss Selena Coombs, becomes jealous. But also on Caleb's side is his dead sister, Merlyn. She is an angel prepared to do ANYTHING to keep Lucas away...

I recorded a few episodes on the old DVD-R the other day and it actually wasn't that bad.  It wasn't the greatest, but it had heart, and it was fun to see a few familiar faces as well.  The one episode I really liked because the wife beater lost this hand to his table saw...ahh, retribution.

Great show.  Too bad the plot was never resolved.  You can catch a marathon of it on Chiller about once a week.  Should be noted that Sam Raimi had a creative hand in the show.  The guy playing Lucas ROCKS and has great hair.

I was watchin some of the marathon on Chiller yesterday morning and my girlfriend came in the room and I told her a bit about the show and Lucas Buck and all that.  Then Lucas came on the screen and she said "GARY COLE!?!"  And I said "GARY COLE!" and she said "YES!" and I said "Who is Gary Cole?" and she said "He played as Mike Brady in The Brady Bunch movies and as thebos in Office Space" and I was like "OH SHIT U R RIGHT!".  Then we watched the second Brady Bunch movie where Greg wants to jump Marsha's bones.  It was awesome.
