Yes. And the books are good too.
I don't really watch TV, there's little on it I'm interested in. With all of the Reality shows and that kind of nonsense. But I like a really good series, which are few and far between. Anyway, I remembered Tiana talking about how good Dexter was, and I bought Season 1. I ended up ordering Season 2 from Amazon before I was even finished watching the first season. I can't believe how great that show is!

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

I own all 4 seasons of House. Best show on TV right now.

I will take the opportunity to recommend The Wire to anyone.
There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.

I'll try to restrain my enthusiasm for the show in this sentence:
The Wire is quite possibly one of the most magnificent triumphs of mankind, rivalled only by the Internet, Fire, and the Wheel.
Basically, if you want to learn about drug dealing culture without getting your feet wet, The Wire is the best place to start. It is gritty and real. They talked about things in the show that I had to learn firsthand. I wish to God someone had told me about The Wire a long time ago.
The characters are so fucking real you can smell them. Omg it's a great show.

I like Lost and Heroes right now. Haven't invested time into much else. I watch a lot of movies on netflix in demand.
Q: Senator Obama, would you take the same pledge? No tax increases on people under $250,000?
OBAMA: I not only have pledged not to raise their taxes, I've been the first candidate in this race to specifically say I would cut their taxes.
I'm too disgusted by the concept of Dexter to seriously consider watching it.

I think the Wall Street Journal put it best:

"The grotesqueries of "Dexter" are not something that can easily be dismissed with the old "you don't have to watch" line. We don't have to watch. We do have to live among the viewers who will be desensitized, or aroused, by this show."

Is this the guy who has the split personality. I think I've seen previews. But seriously, I command you all to become viewers of House!
