TV Tonight: Dexter and Extras
It's a big night for finales on cable TV, as Dexter wraps up its second season and Extras finishes its run forever with a movie-length special.
(Side note: If these two shows were a celebrity couple, everyone would totally call them "Dextras." OK, moving on.)

Extras Preprares Its Extra Special Finale
If you're a fan of Ricky Gervais and his Emmy-winning series Extras, then you might want to mark your calendars: The Extra Special Series Finale will premiere Dec. 16 on HBO, wrapping up the saga of Andy Millman and his low-level actor friends with 80 more minutes of wackiness.
Gervais and his co-writer Stephen Merchant certainly seem to love the movies-as-finales device; they did a similar thing to end the BBC version of The Office several years back.

TV Tonight: "Extras"
If you're not into the Grammys and are lucky enough to have HBO, tonight might be a good night to check out "Extras." It hasn't been a good year so far for Andy Millman (Ricky Gervais of the BBC's "The Office"). His new sitcom is trash, David Bowie has savaged him in song, and he's had one unfortunate public relations scandal after another — most recently getting banned from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts after making a scene at an awards show.
