I was very impressed.<BR/><BR/>Although the "outs" were a bit clunky because they had to be manufactured, I otherwise thought the transition seemed just fine. notice a thing. I don't doubt the commenters above that the un-edited version is superior, but I'm very happy for the opportunity to discover this show on broadcast TV. I may even look into getting Showtime in the fall so I can follow the new season.<BR/><BR/>Also, this is only the second CBS show I've watched in the last 7-8 years (HIMYM is the other). I find most of their stuff bland. I can't watch more than 3 minutes of CSI. But this was edgy and interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-60750870037762856242008-02-15T15:20:00.000-05:002008-02-15T15:20:00.000-05:00I've been a little thrown by the fact that the pre...I've been a little thrown by the fact that the previews are all without any of the theme music I associate with the show. Truthfully, the previews make it look bland. I wonder if anyone will watch.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623422545436294378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-67348379019740492572008-02-15T13:19:00.000-05:002008-02-15T13:19:00.000-05:00The commercial interruptions, far more than the ed...The commercial interruptions, far more than the edits, are what makes this incarnation of Dexter so despicable. I know I'm obsessing, but I can't believe the rest of the world doesn't understand how important it is that the show will be broken into pieces, with advertisements stuck into the pauses.Mon-sewer Paul Regrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04918972562626522624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-73000152215169018912008-02-15T08:13:00.000-05:002008-02-15T08:13:00.000-05:00I don't think I could watch any of the premium cab...I don't think I could watch any of the premium cable shows in their edited versions, but if this gets Dexter, and more importantly Michael C. Hall, more attention, more power to them.<BR/><BR/>I just wonder if the biggest problem with this isn't language or gore, but whether the show's twisted morality is something that fits on a broadcast network... like you said, I imagine that advertising might be a problem, as excellent as this show is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
