BCTV Daily Dispatch 4 June 2021: Psych Starts, AHS Casts & Liu Reacts

We're not crazy, we're just a little unwell. We know, right now you can't tell. But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see a different side of… the BCTV Daily Dispatch! With a respectful nod to Matchbox 20, welcome back to our daily rewind of what's been going down across the television, cable, and streaming side of the pop culture landscape over the past 24 hours. Some welcome new additions to the line-up today include The X-Files' Gillian Anderson, a Psych 3 start for Psych fans, Neil Gaiman on starting The Sandman, American Horror Stories welcomes "The Fantastic Four," Simu Liu has more to save about Kim's Convenience, and Mark Millar's Jupiter's Legacy barely leaps Netflix in a single-season bound.

We also have the "BCTV Rewind" with a selection of curated articles more than worth your time that you may have missed the first time around. Finally, we take a peek inside the "BCTV Weird" box for a look back at the series that was American Horror Story before AHS was cool, followed by today's "Random Thought"- a response to an idea that one of the Rick and Morty co-creators offered a few months ago.

Created by Shaun Cassidy (yup, that one), executive produced by Sam Raimi, and starring Gary Cole, Lucas Black, Paige Turco, Brenda Bakke, Sarah Paulson, Jake Weber, and Nick Searcy, CBS' American Gothic ran for only one season of 22 episodes (only 18 were aired during its original broadcast)- but it's as close to vibes of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's American Horror Story as you'll find anywhere else- it even has Paulson! The horror drama focuses on Caleb Temple (Black), a young boy in Trinity, South Carolina, who learns he's the son of the Devil- who rules the town posing as "friendly sheriff" Lucas Buck (Cole). After Lucas kills Caleb's family, he seeks to "mentor" him to eventually take over his spot- with Dr. Matt Crower (Weber), Caleb's cousin Gail (Turco), and the ghost of his sister, Merlyn (Paulson) there to put a stop to him.

So Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland threw out the idea several months back that they should release new episodes of the Adult Swim series monthly and then never have a skip month- and we have to say that we find the idea a pretty fascinating one. I could see it becoming a monthly tradition, and the consistency would allow it to maintain if not grow the fanbase.
