Showtime just announced that they ordered two more seasons of their hit show, “Dexter”. The fourth season begins filming the next twelve episode run in Spring of 2009.

Yay! I love me some Michael C. Hall (even more than Nefertiti, the other tv revival contributor, does! ), so I’m glad he’s continuing to get work. When I first watched the first season of “Dexter”, I worried that I couldn’t separate Hall’s performance of David Fisher on “Six Feet Under” from his new character. But after seeing Dexter slice up a few corpses and dump them in the bay, I got over it. =)

Buy (or netflix) the first two seasons of “Dexter” today. It’s so worth it! Watch the rest of season three currently airing on Showtime on Sundays at 10/9c.

Sunday nights are fast becoming my busiest TV night of the week. My DVR’s red “recording” light was already winking at me for a good chunk of the evening before, thanks to my old love “Mad Men,” my new love “True Blood,” plus all the old standbys like “60 Minutes” and “American Dad.” But as of last week, “Dexter” has returned to Showtime with new episodes. Consider the ante upped.

I’ve been a fan of this show since its beginning two seasons ago. It doesn’t spare on the high concept premises and story lines, but is still written elegantly enough to avoid becoming a joke. Michael C. Hall has proven his acting mettle beyond my expectations in his portrayal of Dexter Morgan, considering how hard it is to believe that this is the same man who played David Fisher all those years not so long ago.

Tune in to Showtime Sunday nights at 9pm to check out “Dexter.” I like the show so much it’s actually inspired me to read the book on which this series is based, called “Darkly Dreaming Dexter,” by Jeff Lindsay. I know right? I’m going to read an actual book! With pages and everything!

I fear I may have blasphemed by daring to mention the “B” word– book– on the interweb, and on a blog about teevee, at that. As an act of contrition, I’ll subject myself to a new reality show, get drunk and rant about it on here, later.

Oh, dear. “Paris Hilton Is My New BFF” started this week. Sounds like a fresh batch of hate stew a-brewin’.
