BCTV Daily Dispatch 27 May 2021: Masked Singer, Sandman, Dexter & More

Hit it! We wanna rock right now! We're BCTV Daily Dispatch and we came to get down! So here's how things work around these parts: every day, we look back at what's catching everyone's attention across the television, cable, and streaming side of the pop culture landscape in the past 24 hours. When it comes to some new topics making the cut this time around, we have a twist on Superman & Lois; some BTS looks at The Orville; Netflix's The Sandman casts Death, Despair, and ten more; more Prodigal Son hope, and FOX's The Masked Singer crowns a champ. We've also hand-picked a selection of articles that are more than worth your time. Finally, we jump into Mr. Peabody's Wayback Machine for a trip through TV history and then wrap things up with today's "Random Thought"-this time, wondering why we still care about a 1995 ratings system in 2021.

So here's a look at today's BCTV's 10/24 Rundown:

TODAY IN TELEVISION: Wow. May 27th was a bad day for a whole bunch of shows, with (1982) Bosom Buddies, (1982) Mork and Mindy, (1988) Punky Brewster, and (1994) The Arsenio Hall Show all airing their last episodes on this date. In another example of pop culture's collision course with the news, Jim Bakker and Tammy Bakker appeared on ABC's Nightline following the PTL scandal in 1987.

RANDOM THOUGHT: In a day and age when delayed viewing is a regular part of the television experience, why do so many places still give weight to same-day ratings? With so much content available out there, the days of instant hits are gone and now it's all about the slow build. Think about it- would WandaVision been as big as it was if it was a binge dump, and didn't have the time for viewers to speculate and post theories week in and week out?
