DVD Release

Episode Order

CBS originally aired American Gothic out of sequence that did not make sense to anyone who followed it. They did this to increase ratings. CBS also never aired four episodes (Potato Boy, Ring of Fire, Echo of Your Last Goodbye and Strangler). Subsequent airings would later adopt the producer's intended order that made sense. This correct sequence order of American Gothic episodes are as follows:

Pilot
A Tree Grows in Trinity
Eye of the Beholder
Damned If You Don't
Potato Boy (*/3)
Dead to the World
Meet the Beetles
Strong Arm of the Law
To Hell and Back (*/2)
The Beast Within (*/2)
Rebirth
Ring of Fire (*/3)
Resurrector
Inhumanitas
The Plague Sower
Doctor Death Takes a Holiday
Learning to Crawl (*/2)
Echo of Your Last Goodbye (*/3)
Strangler (*/3)
Triangle
The Buck Stops Here
Requiem

(*) Denotes that this episode is not in the correct order on the DVD release. The subsequent number refers to the disc number that the episode is contained on. The current DVD releases do not contain the episodes in their correct order as Universal has decided to present the series as it was originally aired without any indication that the show is presented out of sequence. Printing out this list and keeping it inside the DVD case is a good idea for reference.
