Dexter is far and away the best original series ever produced by Showtime...it's not even close. Those who are voting for Weeds over Dexter, i would have to guess that the majority of those peeps have never seen Dexter, which explains their vote. Some might be turned off due to it being about a serial killer, but if they gave it a watch they would see that it's so much more than what they expect. It's an absolutely brilliant tv series, right up there with the HBO Original Series all-time-greats...The Wire, The Sopranos, and Oz! Dexter holds it's own against these great shows. Weeds, on the other hand, isn't in this category. I would put it in the next tier down(big gap between the all-time-greats and the next tier) with a show like Entourage. A very good and very funny show in it's own right, but nowhere near the best ever. Ditto for Weeds!

Queer as Folk was my first Showtime show and it holds a special place in my heart so I'm gonna go with it. It was an AMAZING SHOW!. The Tudors would be next, the show is fantastic and has great acting watching it makes me dig deeper into learning about the real history. Next up would be Weeds I just started watching and it is a very quirky and funny show. I haven't seen all of Dexter yet but I'm excited to start watching.

Weeds. I wanted to like Dexter but after one episode of my skin crawling in disgust I realized I could never watch a show with that skewed a morality.

gotta admit I'm a Showtime freak. i love dexter and miss dead like me dearly..super excited for the Tv movie though. Also the L word is one of my must watch favorites. As were QAF and HUFF. Weeds i only watched the first season but californication..that's gonna be my new show the pilot was HYSTERICAL and AMAZING.

i've only seen weeds and tudors (a bit) but after 14 episodes i decided that weeds just wasn't all that exciting so stopped watching. i can't wait to hear what you think about the new shows this fall so i can decide what to try and find online. :)yay Buzz!

Weeds is great, but I have to say that Twin Peaks was the best television series EVER. Period.

Love Weeds, it's clever, poignant, well-written, funny, and the music is fantastic. Can't wait for Season 3 to begin.

Oops. Sorry I missed the qualifier of "Showtime" series. I apologize. I pick Dexter.

How can you pick just one?! Gale Harold and Jonathan Rhys Meyers (QAF and Tudors) are too yummy for words. Dexter's a fun mind trip and Weeds is hilarioius.

I loved Lois & Clark. Also, the Buffyverse and Firefly. Battlestar Gallactica amazes every time I watch. But in terms of eye candy that took my breath away, Tarzan with Travis Fimmel was a fave. I think the show even had a plot once in a while. Whoot!

I've liked the couple of Weeds episodes I've seen. But I went with The Tudors, as I'm a sucker for Elizabethan, er, I guess, Tudor England.

How about none? I've never seen any of them.

for me it came down to weeds and dead like me, but I went with dead like me. As funny as weeds is, I became more attached to the characters in dead like me.

Love the L-word! I've only seen one episode of Weeds and to me it was like Desperate Housewives with pot-- a bit too soap-opera-y. I couldn't get into it.
