TV Tonight: ABC Dramas and Showtime Hits
It's a busy night for premieres! There are a few notable hour-long dramas returning for the Fall season tonight, so make sure your DVR is ready to go.

What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday
All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. This week the new TV options are more exciting than the movies, so I'm making a few recommendations for shows to catch up on before Fall TV is here.
2009 Comic-Con: Michael C. Hall, John Lithgow and a Preview of Dexter's Season 4
At Comic-Con's Dexter panel, we not only got a glimpse of season four with a fairly extensive preview (the video of which I've included after the jump), but we got to hear from the show's producers and actors — including new addition John Lithgow.

First Look: Dexter's Third Season
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.

TV Casting News: Smits, Hopper, Cole
The TV upfronts may be nothing more than a fond memory, but there's still a trickle of casting news coming in about Fall shows — both on networks and on cable.

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.
