There are no other shows that will be better. This is the best thing to hit TV in a while. Sorry.
The gif material is great tbh

I love the show, will continue to watch.
That was something that I was thinking about. They had him in there REALLY fast.
If you are watching this as a "real" show (as you seem to be from your comment) you are doing it very wrong. It's a parody, borderline Scary Movie style.

I'm a bit surprised at the negative reaction online. It was stupid as hell but I thought it was very fun.

that scene should have given you a clue not take it seriously. lol
its absurd.
cop pushing her partner outside the vehicle.
the dark humor. lol
I was as well. Ah well what can you do.
RIGHT??? Her not being in Coven was a missed opportunity. Well any AHS seasons. Better late than never though.

This show is a garbage show.
I don't watch garbage shows.

I watched the pilot on a whim the other day and was instantly enamored with this show. It's got a great blend of goofiness and genuine mystery. It's really scratching that pre-Halloween itch too.
harThe gif material is great tbh
Maybe the public isn't aware of the lows of American Horror Story.
Maybe some people can't adjust and were expecting something different. My wife made me watch this because she thought it was going to be a horror show going just by the name lol. We both didn't know shit about it.
We both loved it for what it was and were laughing our asses off. Can't wait for next episode!
dude I was expecting something different, but when I realised what it actually was I didnt fight it. Im not saying people have to like it, but dont dislike it because they are watching it as something it is not

It's the race stuff that really bothers me with Murphy.
His shows use racist jokes so frequently that they've become a very cheap, lazy source of comedy. And their constant use trivializes racism to a considerable degree.
And then when he actually tries to address racial issues somewhat seriously, it's completely tone-deaf (see: Season 3 of AHS).

With Heather Langenkamp's FX company handling the effects, this show better find a way to have a scene between her, Jamie Lee and Emma Roberts.Maybe see if they can rope in Danielle Harris and Linnea Quigley for a true collection of scream queens.

The main problem with Murphy's use of racial humor is that he's got the structure of it all wrong.
When using that sort of cringeworthy racial humor, the person delivering it should be the butt of the joke. Think of David Brent/Michael Scott in The Office.
Far too often, Murphy botches this and makes the recipient the butt of the joke. Chanel and other Murphy characters use racist dialogue at the expense of others in order to assert their power over them - usually successfully. They deliver it without a second thought and without consequence.
If Murphy wants to include racist characters who spout racist dialogue, that's fine. Just don't try to paint their racism as being funny if you don't know how to do it properly. (Which he doesn't.)

Just watched the two first episodes, I loved them. Everything is just so campy and over the top.
For real. I'd throw in some Clueless and as someone else mentioned Mean Girls type stuff in here. It just works for me and I'll certainly continue watching it.
Right? People are stupid and too easily offended these days.
If you like this show and have not seen the movie Heathers (is that possible?) I'd highly recommend it.

I haven't gotten around to watching anything yet, but Emma Roberts said on the Tonight Show that they started off screaming for real but had to switch over to miming and doing it in post.

I know! She really surprised me. She's great and Lea Michele's character is surprisingly hilarious.
Probably threw her neck out giving blompkins at the bowling alley. I about died.

Just watched the premiere. So not a garbage show. Totally the bath tub baby of Scream and Heathers. Definitely my favorite new fall show.

This show needs to be a success. It is amazing.
Yeah, I'm definitely in. The dark humor is on point. The actors are having a ball. This is the perfect Halloween season fun show. I really hope the show is a success and we get more. This hooked me in so hard. Didn't think that'd happen after American Horror Story did nothing for me.
Good Lord, this is fantastic. Just on every level. Love the synth music. The screaming. The fire. Really, it's all great.

That would be amazing. Maybe have a scene with Linnea dancing on a grave. They've gotta be thinking about doing this, no? Hard to have a show called Scream Queens without Harris or Quigley in there somewhere. Fun fact: Danielle Harris actually went to my elementary school for a short time. Although she was 4 years older and obviously not famous at the time.

This is mostly anecdotal, but If word of mouth holds up, I think ratings will definitely increase. Scream Queens has been the topic of the week in my Uni cohort and the largely positive reception has encouraged others to catch the post streams. A friend of mine told me that everyone he works with has been raving about the show and he is going to jump on board, because he doesn't want to miss out.
Edit:
It's probably too early to discuss whether a second season will follow, but it appears Fox have possibly registered and trademarked a follow-up title: "Scream Queens:
