“I’ve got my eyes on you, motherlover!”
???
Yeah, gotta love the glorification of a serial killer. Just what we need in this day and time.
Does he only kill other vicious criminals?
Is he a vigilante?
yes
It is a great show, one of my favorites but I do agree it would be better left on showtime.
Dexters Labratory?
Better than to say motherFword? 
Seriously, you guys need to chill out a bit. It’s just a TV show. No need to be over protective.
Are we talking about Dexter’s Lab, or something else?
And NIU is just another campus. Routine. Par for the course. Just normal. Everyday occurance.
The show does not show in our home, as well as many other of today’s primetime garbage.
Bruce, I understood your comment completely and needless to say my throw away post was not intended to cause additional pain. And since it’s clear that it did, I do apologize.
Thanks R, but no need to apologize. I read your initial post as this particular show indeed does not belong on the airwaves.
I was a little off kilter by fexnix’s post that serial killing, no matter who the target happens to be, is great viewing for the entire family. Let’s present as much killing as possible in the name of entertainment to make it just another common occurance, a routine thing in life. Let’s desensitize our children to killing and make it ordinary. Yep, it’s just another TV show. Why get all bent out of shape about it.
Very little of what is on network TV and cable TV is worth watching as it is. I don’t watch TV drama shows. I have never watched even a single episode of Lost or 24 or Heroes or any of the other prime time shows. Sitcoms just make me feel stupid for wasting time to watch them.
The only things decent on TV are some news shows, documentaries, MythBusters, some sports, and Food Network.
I’d rather listen to a CD than watch a TV network show.
It’s easier to blame the TV show than the parents / teachers / community leaders who turn a blind eye to the subject. It’s easier to hand Junior the remote control than to talk with him about what he’s going to watch tonight.
Why should my viewing habits be mandated by what’s safe for the lazy, undereducated masses, for the families who refuse to talk amongst themselves about healthy decision making, for the weak minded individuals whom society ignores?
The TV show is but a scapegoat. Our problems are much bigger than what’s playing on the tube. It just so happens that we’re numbing our minds with TV so we don’t have to think about those problems.
+1
Although, just because 10 year old kids can watch a show about killing and go and kill doesn’t make them “weak minded” just not looked after. I mean, after all, the parents are responsible to teach kids that just because someone kills on TV doesn’t mean it’s OK in real life. I wouldn’t say a kid that a kid who watches Bevis and Butthead and sees Butthead drive a ride-on lawn mower into a pool of wet cement and goes and does it himself is “uneducated”, either. How “educated” can you expect a child to be? Again, it goes back to the parents. I watched plenty of B&B as a kid and never went out and did any of that stuff, but I was also taught right from wrong. Some kids aren’t, but it doesn’t make them “weak-minded”…
Ok, this thread was started as a bit of a joke.
Nobody says “motherlover” and if you have to force your characters to say such a non-word, well, you should keep your show on cable. That was my point.
Bruce, I continue to be sorry if this thread brought up unpleasant thoughts.
Very well put. I agree entirely.
I’m okay, R. Thanks. You’re a great friend.
The campus shooter was not a serial killer, stop mixing apples and oranges.
I’m with you!
Ha ! It’s funny how they filled in the *&#@&!
It will show that a drama is still good even if they don’t swear on every other sentence.
Too much *&%$##@ in stories that don’t need it. It gets old…or maybe I am getting old:(
That goes for everyday life. Be intelligent, find a better word than #@!
Love Dexter!!! But I will watch it uncut without commercials because it was TIVO’ed by a friend. …thanks friend!
