Why does Dexter kick the CSI franchise, Criminal Minds, Scrubs?


the first dexter season was based on 2 books
the 2nd was loosely based on the third book
and yet scrubs is still in it's 7th season.... umm
NBC and Showtime are both kicking the anal posterior with the ratings. but dexter has so much of a following, people are downloading the shows before they are screened on the network

I love using analogies, so I will start off by saying Dexter is to CSI as Starbucks is to Sanka. I would have used a better brand than Starbucks but I figured most people would know about Starbucks. Anyway, Dexter is one of the strongest, most intelligent shows out there. It's also risky, edgy, and not free (which is why some people don't know of it...they simply don't subscribe to Showtime). People who are fortunate enough to have Showtime, see Dexter in action, and aren't overly offended or squeamish, will probably become borderline obsessed with it. For example, right now I do NOT have time to be doing this but I went to Yahoo Answers and did an open question search on "Dexter" just so I could talk about it! That's just how good Dexter is!

I don't even like comparing Dexter to CSI, Scrubs (WHY is it in its 7th season???) , etc. but I understand your reason for doing so...comparing ratings.

So, to answer your question, the storyline is cerebral, amazing, gripping, etc. and the acting is incredible. Michael C. Hall is phenomenal as Dexter...what more can I say?

if its so good, how come i havent heard of it???

because it's not rated "G."

Dexter...Dexter...nope, drawing a blank.

Dexter has given Showtime its highest ratings for any show they have ever had. It does have a good fan base and has been renewed for a third season. The concept of the show is edgy and quite different from any other show and Michael C. Hall plays the character excellently. It is my favorite show. It is the only reason I subscribe to Showtime.
