As if there weren’t enough reasons to be looking forward to the fall, there’s one more show I’m excited to see return to the small screen: Dexter.

Here’s a teaser for the upcoming season. This is a show about a serial killer, you should know, so if you don’t want to watch a serial killer-y clip, don’t watch it.[kml_flashembed /eL4SZ6cv1y0" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

Dexter had a really good, tight first season and I’m looking forward to what they’ve got in store for us in September. Admittedly, Michael C. Hall could make a video blog of his daily BM and it would make riveting entertainment, but he does interesting things with a character that could easily be one-note.

Ew. Ben Silverman, new co-chair of NBC entertainment, is making me feel all gross this morning with this slate of news. The one undeniable plus in all this is Seinfeld going on 30 Rock; I can’t wait to see what they do with him. Everything else is just a little… ick.

I’m not saying Isaiah Washington should be blacklisted forever and ever, but actively pursuing him now seems like a shameless ploy for publicity, not a well-reasoned casting choice. Also, he’s clearly unhinged, and I don’t want him getting too near my girl Katee.

And a celebrity Apprentice? If there was ever anything remotely entertaining about Trump’s macho bluster, it has officially run its course. I feel stupider just thinking about this show.

I’m worried about NBC, and this brash new dude full of big (possibly bad) ideas. Is it too late to warn them to Stay Classy?

And finally, does anyone have any thoughts on the CBS/Mandy Patinkin brouhaha? Having never seen Criminal Minds, all I can do is try to make jokes about how none of the fans will notice if they replace him because they’re so old. But that’s just mean, so I won’t.
