Roush on Dexter
Question: Surprisingly, I have quite enjoyed the edited version of
Dexter on CBS. What a darkly mesmerizing show and performance by Michael C. Hall! Now that the strike is over and TV is back, are there any plans for the second season to air on CBS? I figure it's probably a long shot, but it's the only place I'm going to get
Dexter and so I'm trying to stay optimistic.

Matt Roush: I agree that it's probably a long shot, but you never know. I doubt CBS would have put Dexter in its own prime time in the first place if the strike hadn't opened up so many holes on the schedule. But I see it as a win-win for the show, and possibly for Showtime, because the awareness of Dexter has increased quite a bit (if my mail is any indication) and the appetite to see more is clearly out there. But unless you take the plunge to get Showtime (or find a friend who gets it), you'll probably have to get your next fix of Dexter by renting the next seasons on DVD as they come out.
