As a fan of the Dexter ... | Matt Roush | 6/23/2008
Question: As a fan of the Dexter franchise, I had a question about the Season 2 DVD. I know you don't usually talk about DVD stuff, but I thought you might make an exception. After not watching the first two seasons, I decided to give myself a nice Christmas gift last December by purchasing the first season of Dexter. As you can imagine, I fell in love with the show right away. I was eagerly awaiting the second season's release (which I thought was supposed to be a few weeks ago) and I now find... read more be the first to leave a comment

OMG, Says Parents Council to Gossip Girl's OMFG | Today's News: Our Take | 4/24/2008
It was only a matter of time. Media watchdog group Parents Television Council is hot on the Louboutin heels of the CW's "OMFG" marketing campaign for Gossip Girl, saying it's just too sultry. The print and online campaign has been heating up for the past few weeks (you can take a peek here!).The Council takes issue in particular, with what they say is a "sexually suggestive photo showing a teenage boy kissing a girl's cleavage." In a statement, PTC said it "deplores the CW's deliberate use of... read more be the first to leave a comment

Mad Men, Dexter, 30 Rock: Love Those Peabodys! | Matt Roush | 4/2/2008
Emmys, schmemmys. When it comes to rewarding the very best of TV (and radio), I tend to look at the annual announcement of the prestigious Peabody Awards as my guidepost. Administered through the University of Georgia, the Peabodys is hardly a stuffy institution. This year’s eclectic list of honorees, released earlier today, ranges from terrific critical breakthroughs like NBC’s 30 Rock and AMC’s Mad Men to such deliciously offbeat choices as Showtime’s darkly delicious... read more be the first to leave a comment
Surprisingly, I have quite ... | Matt Roush | 3/28/2008
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. Answer: 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... read more be the first to leave a comment

Yo, You're Dead: Dexter Gets a Video Game | Today's News: Our Take | 3/4/2008
In one of the more surprising creative partnerships in recent memory, Showtime/CBS' dark Dexter will become a video game, thanks to the minds at Mark Ecko Entertainment.With a lead cop character who goes after serial killers himself, Dexter is tough enough to imagine as a video game. But the series, which is now enjoying major net audiences after its jump to the Eye, is an even bigger enigma in its game guise with input from the Ecko franchise. Mark Ecko, you may recall, not only popularized... read more be the first to leave a comment
During the strike, I had the ... | Matt Roush | 3/3/2008
Question: During the strike, I had the chance to watch Dexter on DVD, and I have to say I was kind of disappointed after all of the critical raves. Don't get me wrong, I watched multiple episodes at a time and enjoyed the premise, the character of Dexter, the cinematography and the acting... for the most part. That's what ruined it for me. From the first episode, I thought there were a few weak performances — most notably his sister, Lt. Laguerta and Sgt. Doakes, although the former two... read more be the first to leave a comment
While I have read the books, ... | Matt Roush | 3/3/2008
Question: While I have read the books, I'd never seen Dexter before as I'm not a Showtime subscriber. So I was ecstatic when CBS launched it in reruns. And the show was amazing! But now the Parents Television Council is trying to get CBS to take it off the air. It's not a family show and I agree that it's not appropriate for children. But it airs at 10 pm/ET, so if any kids are up watching television at that time of night, shouldn't their parents be responsible for saying, "No, you can't... read more be the first to leave a comment

PTC Sees Red Over Dexter and Goes Green with Fury Over Vegas | Today's News: Our Take | 2/22/2008
The Parents Television Council has recently had a bone to pick with Dexter on CBS, but now it's filing a complaint against yet another show: NBC's Las Vegas.Despite the fact that the series has likely ended, the organization still filed a complaint with the FCC following the airing of the show's Feb. 15 episode. In the ep, three partially nude women are seen in the shadows on security monitors. The Council, whose complaint comes on the heels of the ABC pay-out for a similar FCC issue, accuses... read more be the first to leave a comment
Ratings: Knight Rider on Track for a Series Pickup? | Today's News: Our Take | 2/19/2008
Sunday's Knight Rider TV-movie reboot/backdoor pilot may have generated enough RPMs to earn itself a series pickup for the 2008-09 season. Not only was its audience of 12.7 million second only to Sunday night's Extreme Makeover, but KITT's latest adventure delivered the best 18-49 numbers of any TV-movie since March 2005's Their Eyes Were Watching God.Elsewhere, CBS' slightly tamed Dexter slayed 8.14 mil, or more than 10 times the audience the same series premiere drew during its original... read more be the first to leave a comment
Dexter Hits Basic TV | Today's News: Our Take | 2/15/2008
There was a lot of talk going around about whether or not Showtime’s gruesome hit series Dexter was too much for CBS, but with a little editing here and there, the 12- episode series is ready to air on network TV. Fans are less than thrilled about the slicing and dicing of this bloody drama’s original form, but desperate times (of no scripted series to be found) called for desperate measures!

Parents' Group Wants CBS to Kill Dexter | Today's News: Our Take | 1/31/2008
Parents Television Council, a non-partisan nonprofit group, has formally asked CBS to kill its plans to air Dexter.In a press release, PTC describes the series as a "graphically violent show about a hero who is a serial killer." The series, which is in its second season on Showtime, is set to air on CBS starting Feb. 17. PTC, which was launched in 1995 by conservative activist L. Brent Bozell III, has previously campaigned against shows including Nip/Tuck and for shows like Joan of Arcadia.... read more be the first to leave a comment
I was in the middle of ... | Matt Roush | 1/18/2008
Question: I was in the middle of watching CBS Football and saw that Dexter is moving to CBS! Please tell me this is not the case. I foresee a major watered-down version of this show that is going to turn off a lot of the people who originally watched this on Showtime. Please tell me this isn't something permanent?! Answer: Welcome to StrikeWorld, Jonathun, where none of the normal rules apply. Dexter is airing on CBS starting February 17 for one reason only: the strike. (And no, this isn't... read more be the first to leave a comment
I read your response to ... | Matt Roush | 1/18/2008
Question: I read your response to Marques' Dexter issue, regarding the difference between the novels and the show itself. I personally don't think the show needs to follow the books exactly. That would make for some predictable seasons, since we'd know how it all ends — but it would be really cool to see them brought to life. I understand your position on changing up the storylines in the transition from novels to TV, and I'd be OK with that to an extent — though I prefer the novel version... read more be the first to leave a comment
When a movie or a TV show is ... | Matt Roush | 1/14/2008
Question: When a movie or a TV show is based on a true story, or based on a book as in the case of Dexter, why does Hollywood change the storyline and the plot around? What's the purpose of basing a show on a book or true story if it's going to change things around and not convey the original story? I know you've said before that complaints have reached epic proportions, but I feel mine are legit. Everyone was excited about the plots and storylines on Dexter and what was happening with Doakes,... read more be the first to leave a comment
Strike Watch: Another Day in Late Night | Matt Roush | 1/8/2008
The only true “moment of Zen” I experienced while watching the awkward writer-free return of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show Monday night — or, as Jon Stewart is now calling it, “A Daily Show” — was when his sole guest, a professorial labor expert, said of bitter strikes like the one the Writers’ Guild is currently engaged in: “It’s never intractable.... Eventually, they all get solved.”From his lips to....What a day it was in Strike World.... read more be the first to leave a comment
CBS Eyes Dexter for February Sweeps Killing | Today's News: Our Take | 1/7/2008
CBS is bringing cable's favorite serial killer to broadcast TV. Starting Feb. 17, the first season of Showtime's Dexter will air Sundays at 10 on the Eye network. Dexter will become the first pay cable show ever to get a full-season broadcast run on CBS, as the network's supply of scripted programs is being depleted by the WGA strike.Dexter stars Emmy-nominated Michael C. Hall as a Miami police forensics expert with an uncontrollable urge to kill. The series recently delivered a series-high 1.4... read more be the first to leave a comment
