rpm.. I have not seen Dexter on regular commercial tv but...
How could you get into it with all the silly donut commercials that they have? I just don't think that it could be done.
Sadly... "survivor" type shows where no real surviving is involved and "talent" shows where no real talent is involved and.. situation comedies where the punch line never has to wait for the commercial to end and the "plot" is not really the reason.. are all that can work on commercial tv.
sienfeld figured it out way back when.. the only thing that will work on commercial tv is
"a show about nothing"
