Amy typed what I was thinking. I'm not discussing even the title of the show with my mother. We can talk about "The Voice" though.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

My mother, father and I watch The Voice as our "family show"! They are both convinced that Cee-Lo is a little person. They say it's all in his extremely small hands. I disagree, but it serves as good conversation fodder.
However, we also like to watch more challenging fare. My dad has been my True Blood watching partner since it came on. Ditto for Game of Thrones, which we got my mom hooked on over the summer. Those shows have some questionable adult content that we have nonetheless managed to navigate. Since we are in a holding pattern on GoT and True Blood is really so bad now that it doesn't deserve a lot of in depth commenting, I was thinking we might be able to try AHS: Coven because it's really good! But I seriously got like one sentence in with my mom and realized that I was just going to have to pull back from that because, no. Some things are not meant to be discussed with your parents.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's the short arms! I think he's on the spectrum.
I was trying to explain this show to my mother and I couldn't even...just, no.
Oh lord. A couple of times last season, I watched the show on Sunday afternoon before family dinner, and started talking about it to my Catholic family, and had to repeat a hundred times, "DO NOT EVER WATCH THIS. DO NOT." Luckily, the fact that there is "Horror" right there in the title would be a tip-off.

My mother was having in-home IV therapy today while I was working on the laptop. I was horrified to hear the nurse recommend AHS:C to her as something she might enjoy because -- no. I protested and he insisted that it's a comedy/drama and really funny. My mom is really cool for 73 and likes a lot of stuff people wouldn't expect (Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Teen Wolf, Sleepy Hollow, Iron Man, and so on and so on) but I think AHS:C would be pushing the limits.

Comedy/drama? What show is he watching?!

I wondered that too. Because I haven't been watching the show, just reading your comments and the reviews on the internet (I got as far as (oops, the html and quick-edit formatting pages aren't coming up, so I can't use the invisible-spoiler font.) Well, I got as far as the incident at the fraternity in the opening episode, and that was enough for me.

You could say there's a certain really black comedy to some events. Calling it a comedy/drama is taking it a little far.

They tried calling it American Comedy/Drama Story but it didn't test well.
