Inside information for Weeds and Dexter

My husband works for Showtime and this is the email he recieved today.............I am so glad both shows are doing so well!!!!!!



I am very pleased to announce that we have just picked up the second season of DEXTER, 12 new episodes to air later in 2007. Not only is the show critically acclaimed across the boards, but it currently ranks as our #1 show (just edging past WEEDS). I'm very happy that DEXTER has been embraced so completely because I think it's indicative of the provocative and high-quality nature of everything we're doing in Original Programming. I hope you will continue to watch as season #1 plays out over the next seven weeks because the ongoing mystery of both the Ice Truck killer and the reveal of Dexter's backstory are very compelling. I'm confident in saying there are some incredible episodes ahead.

Also, some of you may be wondering about the pick-up of WEEDS (Season 3). We're in final discussion on that with the studio, but don't worry, the pick-up is a no-brainer. WEEDS is one of our hottest shows -- increasing some 15% over Season 1 -- and will be with us for several years to come.

With the extraordinary success of DEXTER and WEEDS, and the unanimous critical praise and renewal of BROTHERHOOD, we should all be extremely proud of the strides we've made with our Original Programming this year. And wait until you see the new seasons of SLEEPER CELL: AMERICAN TERROR and THE L WORD, not to mention the THE TUDORS and THIS AMERICAN LIFE.

Big Dexter fan

YAY! Those are 2 of my favorite shows.

When will Huff be back?

I love Showtime Series!

And I hate that they cancelled Dead Like Me. That show rocked, and it was the show that started me watching Showtime's Series

I love weeds!! They really went crazy this season.

Now can you ask your DH for some LONGER seasons. It feels like each season is only 10 epsiodes. WE WANT MORE!!!!

I am glad that Dexter is doing well. I love that actor. It makes me so happy to see actors from successful TV shows have a career after that show. Personally, I don't watch Dexter because I can't take the violence. Since I became a mom my tolerance for violence is barely existant. But i am happy to hear it is doing well.
