I was lucky enough to be in the room yesterday at Comic-Con when Showtime debuted a first look at Dexter's upcoming third season. It's just two minutes long, but it includes a bunch of fantastic teases for some of the upcoming action, including the appearance of Jimmy Smits as attorney Miguel Prado, who becomes a friend of Dexter's.
A friend?

For one of the first times since the writers' strike began, I'm actually having trouble deciding what to watch on TV tonight. NBC has the season finale of American Gladiators and the premiere of the Knight Rider movie (and possible series), while ABC has the final pre-strike episode of Brothers and Sisters. Meanwhile, CBS has the premiere of its cleaned-up version of Dexter, and Fox has new episodes of all of its animated shows.

The first season of Dexter will begin airing on CBS Feb. 17, and CBS is ramping up its efforts to recruit viewers over to the dark side. A bunch of new promos have popped up on the network's YouTube channel over the past day or so, and it's interesting to see how CBS is marketing the quirky, bloody Showtime series to network viewers.
