Dexter, the Showtime show about the serial killer, with a heart of gold....well maybe not a heart of gold, but atleast a good solid moral system, is coming to CBS.With the writer's strike moving into its ninth week networks are struggling to find "new" content for their viewers.
NBC has unleashed the beast that is American Gladiators, and I for one am in LOVE! Also, NBC will start showing new episodes of Monk, Psych and former NBC regular Law an Order: Criminal Intent.
Now CBS will roll the dice and bring Dexter to the masses. Personally, I think it is an amazing show. But, I have to admit that I am a bit skeptical about how the move to network will work.
It's kind of like watching reruns of the Soprano's on A & E. Still great stories, but something is just missing.
Granted there are some sex scenes that will have to be dealt with, but they can be edited down and not really lose the character insight (in Dexter's case) of the scene. The funny part will be listening to how they re-edit some of the dialoge....especially when it comes to Deborah, Dexter's half sister. I am not saying she has a mouth on here...but Fu*K me!!
All in all, I would say that if you want the full Dexter Experience, buy the first season and subscribe to Showtime to catch up on the second season (just finished) and future seasons.

Dexter is flippin' amazing, but that's gonna be a reach on CBS' part. After seeing the 'unedited' version on SHO, I can't imagine really getting into something FCC'd down for the masses.
Like I said...it's like watching the Sopranos on A&E...good story line...just going to feel like something is missing.
Dexter having sex because, "that's what normal people in relationships do." is going to lose some of its impact if you don't get his voice over while he is .... well... doing it.
