It sure
didn't take networks long to jump on the American Horror Story momentum
train. By the looks of it, ABC's supernatural drama 666 Park Avenue appears
to be a shameless cash-in on the FX breakout's proven formula of scary movie
influences melded with gorgeous faces and a sexual undercurrent. Here, Terry
O'Quinn (Lost) and Vanessa Williams (fresh off Desperate
Housewives) play the overseers of a lavish high rise in Manhattan that's
ravaged by all kinds of freaky occurrences once a pretty young couple (Rachael
Taylor and Dave Annable) settle into their new apartment.
If 666
Park Avenue has even half the amount of cheeky insanity seen in American
Horror Story, it could be yet another small-screen guilty pleasure, but
keep in mind that it's on ABC, not FX. Anticipate genre elements more along the
lines of PG-13 fare like The Apparition than a Greg Nicotero
project.
