lucky616	Showtime only Sep 8 2008, 3:38 PM EDT \| Post edited: Sep 8 2008, 3:38 PM EDT Speaking as a Dexter fan who DOES NOT HAVE SHOWTIME, I feel the attempt to transition a show like Dexter to public TV is a big mistake. Dexter is edgy, spooky, sexy, dirty-mouthed, voilent, bloody, and clever; the best things about this show are being cut out to make it 'CBS appropriate' and it is completely pointless. I do not have Showtime, and I find it very easy to keep-up with the show; Dvds, visiting a friends house to watch, or online streams at various sites make it simple. This TV-crime is just as bad as when they put 'Sex in the City' on TBS; we lose the best parts of the show, which make it the show that it is! In addition, people who have never viewed the 'unrated' original version of Dexter will have a COMPLETELY different (and incorrect) take on the show. Boo CBS. Boo.

cadoc1	1. RE: Showtime only Sep 8 2008, 11:33 PM EDT I agree with you. What would have to be edited to show on regular TV is why most people are watching the show. It is the content that defines Dexter. Leave it be on ShowTime. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
DeborahAnn	2. RE: Showtime only Sep 11 2008, 10:18 PM EDT I don't have ShowTime, and if not for it being on regular T.V. I never would have seen it and been hooked. Things on Canadian T.V. aren't cut to hell like on American T.V. We're allowed to hear a dirty word and to see a boob here and there. Anyway, you can find anything you want online, so trying to keep a show anywhere is not happening. I have bought all the books and both seasons. I like it that much.
