Showtime renews 'Dexter' Network picks up drama for two more seasons By DANIEL FRANKEL
CBS showed 'Dexter' episodes briefly during the writers strike to offset a shortage of original programming, increasing the skein's exposure.
Showtime has picked up a fourth and fifth season of drama series "Dexter." Production on season four is set to begin in L.A. in the spring and each campaign will span 12 episodes. Skein stars Michael C. Hall as a Miami blood splatter expert who moonlights as a serial killer. Its Sept. 28 season premiere drew 1.2 million viewers, a 20% uptick over its season-two bow. Counting encore runs and other viewing, "Dexter" -- Showtime's highest-rated show last year -- garnered an aud of more than 3 million for its third-season premiere week. Certainly, the additional exposure garnered by its brief CBS run in February didn't hurt these ratings, with the Eye airing "Dexter" to offset a shortage of original programming during the writers strike. Skein nabbed an Emmy nom for drama series earlier this year while also winning a Peabody Award. Season three of "Dexter" is exec produced by John Goldwyn, Sara Colleton, Clyde Phillips and Charles H. Eglee. (SOURCE: VARIETY.COM)
The great pay-cable shows tend to run between 5-6 seasons, so this is smart!
I think the fact that she was in W got some crazed right-wing fan angry because he had a secret crush on her and thought she was pure and wholesome.
Then she appears in a work of the liberal media! Clearly, something made some nutcase think that the devil had his talons in the poor lady, and I hope they catch him so he can go to jail and learn Islam.
Last night's sad dolley-out of the CEO of the MAD MEN office made me think deeply...at least, for a few moments before I jumped into the shower and began my manic Monday hoping a bolt of lightning would knock me out until next spring.
The situation is, despite a gut instinct not to sell out half his ad agency to "the brits," he finds himself in the minority, neither needing the substantial profits from a merger or wanting his office to now only really feel like half his office...Yet, as his partners in the company are exhuberantly subtle in their new business move, Bertram, or COOP as I call him, has no joy, no cause for celebration. He has gained more fortune and lost part of something he helped create.
Then I found out from amc.com that Coop is a big Japanese culture lover, so here is my 2 minute scene of what Coop does when AMC's cameras abandoned him and STDTV takes over:
(From CNN.com) When asked about the secret to her longevity, Cooper (103 yrs old) said,
"I don't know how it happened, but being cheerful had a lot to do with it. I've always been a happy person, a giggling person -- a wide-mouthed person!"
Sigh...that's the thought to get through this misery Monday.
Gotta support Alicia cause "Fallin'" was on one of my first "chill" mix tapes, for driving from B-town to Amherst, takin back roads packin green loads...I only remember one other song off that mix: MERCY MERCY ME by Marvin Gaye...the mix was chill. The Taurus...did not last long.
We used to sneak around this place. Then the younger generation caused too much property damage and the place got locked down, circa 2002...
It is one of the creepiest mofo'in places i've ever been inside of. I was in it in the 80's (not due to my feeble mind, mind you) cause my folks worked there. I was in it in the 90's because it was the scary/fun thing to do and i hadn't discovered booze quite yet. I will probably never step foot there again. Place is fucking cursed. But the wikipedia take struck me as funny, so...laugh it up, re-re's.
Jungle Orangeman (3:16:41 PM): hey, do you know (actress) Laura Ramsey per chance? telgezer (3:16:47 PM): do you leave near a brook? Jungle Orangeman (3:16:53 PM): no... telgezer (3:16:54 PM): I don't think so Jungle Orangeman (3:17:02 PM): she's on Mad Men, she's super hot telgezer (3:17:12 PM): who she play? Jungle Orangeman (3:17:19 PM): Draper's new fling telgezer (3:17:26 PM): no, I don't know her Jungle Orangeman (3:17:28 PM): she reminds me a lot of a girl who used to **censored** telgezer (3:17:41 PM): I can forward her that message if you'd like (he really could) Jungle Orangeman (3:17:51 PM): by all means... telgezer (3:17:55 PM): that could = wedding bells
Telgezer's a funny guy.
telgezer (3:15:27 PM): well happy birthday almost telgezer (3:15:36 PM): don't get raped
Yeah, You remember this one...cause it was fuckin good. And for you sports lovers out there, tell me...How Many of these Ferocious Competitors will be seen in their respective sports' championships? I'd go 1 in 12 odds that Big Ben of the Steelers is the only one with half a chance...of course, by now I know that Mariano, Albert, and Torii are out of the mix. Urlacher shoulda done his thing to the Colts but DIDN'T... LT, the tailback halfback runningback extrordinaire? Well, he's another story. PLEASE NOTE that David Fincher has directed the films: SEVEN, THE GAME, and FIGHT CLUB.
To dissect this would be a slapintheface to art, but I will say this: The world and life as we know it are wild, far from definable concepts that one can only experience, hope to experience, or be taught the method to the madness...leave nothing behind, you can't take it with you. Listen to this and think about it while you find some images of either: Faegan's, Dolce, or the doom fortress WATSON HALL...
Oh, did you ever notice Citysearch.com? If they paid me I'd be more inclined to promote them and their "this bar is good for cheap drinks, karaoke and kissing!" mantra, but alas...they are quite helpful when you live in this big City. Spelling the names of the Sushi places is a different story...somebody get that site a fuckin spellchecker!
We've all heard the hoohah and the hey-hey-hey about AMC's "MAD MEN" but last night I watched a recent episode that just hit me in the heart...
Emmy winner John Hamm is a fucking pimp. He has the best job in the world right now, and I think Laura Ramsey's entrance into the show, an actress I'm not familiar with because I didn't bother to see THE RUINS, was a bonerific casting choice.
Wow, i really like HBO's TRUE BLOOD now...shocker that i say that the day after Anna Paquin's first big nude/sex scene and an ending that had bloodsuckaphiles everywhere feeling like they'd taken too many drops of V...(drug used in show like angel dust/ecstasy but it's Vampyr bloode)...It was an ep to pull in new fans and get haters thinking "Durn, maybe i weren't as smarts I thought!" Is this show about racism, anti-homosexuality, both, a+b/c...or just southern hospitality? (CUT TO: One of the many sex scenes HBO has given us over the past decade)
