Yesterday was a very sad day.  It was Sunday night...and there was no Dexter.  Luckily, it's the Christmas season- but come January, there will be a huge hole in my family's life on Sundays at 9 p.m.
My son introduced us to Dexter during the show's second season.  He'd discovered it with a friend during the first season.  He had borrowed the Season 1 DVD to watch before the second season started.  When I found him watching it, he explained that it was a series about a serial killer- but, he said, it was "more than that."  I sat down with him, and was soon hooked. This led us to order Showtime, so that we could watch the subsequent seasons as they unfolded.  Sunday nights at 9 p.m., during the 3 months that the new Dexter season airs, finds our family in front of the TV.
When I was a child- my family also spent Sunday nights in front of the TV, but back then we watched 60 Minutes and the Wonderful World of Disney.
At first I thought we were a little warped - until I started sharing our "secret," and finding other families that watched the show together.  I guess that our routine wouldn't be suitable for families with young children, but it works for us.  I can't wait until Season 6 launches!
