American Gothic was one of the best shows ever on TV. Stephen King took several stabs at
TV with little success; American Gothic was the show he should have created but didn't.
CBS really seems to have deliberately killed this show. When I watched it I was confused by
jumps from one episode to another, characters appeared and disappeared, motivations
weren't explained. When the sci-fi channel showed the episodes I discovered the horrible
truth: CBS had show the episodes out of order. They had left out episodes. They had taken
a show with a series arc and chopped it into little pieces. They also, as I recall, moved the
show around and showed it inconsistently. The sad thing is that the incompetent suit who
did this is probably still working in TV, making tons of money and destroying other shows.
This person should be working as a janitor somewhere.
Ok so I stole that off of IMDb
