Dexter Scores Big!

Filed under: TV News

We're sure Showtime is happy they picked up Dexter for two more seasons last year!

The fourth season premiere of the series on Sunday brought in 1.5 million viewers for the cable network.

That's up 25% from last season's debut!

It also marked the most-watched episode for any program on Showtime since back around 2004.

And, not falling short was the premiere of David Duchovny's Californication which brought in over 800,000 viewers. That's up 57% from last season's premiere!

Guess the main competition now is HBO's True Blood.

What do U prefer? Serial killers or vampires?

      Hands down its Dexter! I've been a fan for four years now! Not to mention Dex and Californication are the only shows I watch religiously! HBO always has the best shows!



    23. 23

      i can't possibly choose, two of my all time favorite shows are dexter and true blood and i think that comparing them is like apples and oranges. they're both incredible for their own reasons and i would like to see both of them around for a long time to come.



    24. 24

      Vampires!!



    25. 25

      dexter is about infinity times better than true blood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cannot comprehend how anyone could think otherwise.



    26. 26

      YAY!! I LOVE this show!!!!!! :D
      Dexter is awesome. I love True Blood too, but I think Dexter is 10 times more creative.



    27. 27

      don't make me decide, i love both!! true blood and dexter..and lost. are my top shows!!!!



    28. 28

      Dexter is awesome! So is True Blood, though…..I can't choose!

      DEXTER ALLLLLLL THE WAY!!! My friends and I had a bbq for the premiere… it's gonna be a weekly thing now. I KNEW I would come back this week and read something like this! Can't wait for the rest of the season!!!!!! Michale C Hall is hella hot.. but he looks like my brother so I have to tone it down, lol. I went to watch The Gamer just so I could catch a glimpse of him!!



    33. 33

      I prefer they bring The L Word back but that ain't gonna happen. Vampires are always cool.



    34. 34

      Not sure how they're competition for one another when one's season just ended and the other's is just starting.



    35. 35

      I love both TB and Dexter. HOT



    36. 36

      mmmmm Michael C Hall. Definitely Dexter =] =]



    37. 37

      All 3 are great shows, but Dexter is freaking phenomenal.



    38. 38

      Both shows are genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    39. 39

      42

      I like True Blood, but I LOVE Dexter!



    43. 43

      I love vampires but you can't compare the brilliant writing and acting in Dexter to anything on True Blood (Accept Lafayette. Dexter needs a Lafayette.)



    44. 44

      OBSESSED



    45. 45

      Dexter is an AMAZING show. i love it. i dont know why it doesnt win more shows. i dont watch true blood so i can say anything about it but.. id probably choose serial killers.



    46. 46

      I like both! I am a diehard (lol!) fan of both True Blood and Dexter!
      I watch both shows religiously…and luckily they're not aired at the same season so I CAN watch them both even though I have very little time to watch tv (I'm writing a thesis)



    47. 47

      i love dexter ! i also love true blood…there's not competition because both are different genres from each other :)
