Maggers Wrote:If they clean up DEXTER it will not be the same show. Think of his scumbag psycho girlfriend who liked flashing her titties. That can't stay. His sister has the foulest mouth on the planet. She just won't be Deborah if she can't curse. And what about the blood? How can they have Dexter do what Dexter does and not cut it, no pun intended?
They'd better leave our DEXTER alone.

Noelie Wrote:Agreed. ....saying things like, "I got my eye on you, motherfreaker." Yuck.
Maggers Wrote:Yup, that's exactly what happened. There was a lot of freakin', motherfreaker, and silly things like that. It seems like they said most of that off screen. I don't remember how much blood splattered when Dexter did his thing in the Showtime version. There was no blood splatter when Dexter did his first victim on CBS. Hmmm.....
Noelie Wrote:Agreed. I really don't know what's up with the whole thing. I don't think I've ever heard of a cable series being shown on regular TV. It's just bizarre. I have these mental images of those really bad edits I hear in movies on regular TV, with someone who doesn't sound at all like the actor, saying things like, "I got my eye on you, motherfreaker." Yuck.

Kenji Wrote:HEROES is now my favorite show. Yesterday I watched #13 in Season 1. George Takei played Hiro's father.
The funny thing, Hiro's father's car license plate was NCC-1701.
