THE JERSEY SHORE and DEXTER

JERSEY SHORE (MTV)
Awesome. Check it out if only to find out about "The Situation." This show makes me laugh out loud, hss some of the best, most original characters in reality and for me - a former resident of Brooklyn, NY - these authentic accents are music to my ears. The show is exceedingly well produced and has a great sense of humor. I actually grew up with people like this, and this show gets it right and the hair-gelled cast is very likable and the vibe here is fun. And addicting. And you really gotta see "the situation." Or "Snickers." Or "Snookie." Just trust me - check this out.
Grade: B +


DEXTER: 4th season (SHOWTIME)
No spoilers here, but bravo to the entire team who rose from the ashes of a middling season 3 (Jimmy Smits was not a good centerpiece for this show) and had an absolutely chilling madman in John Lithgow and completely go-for-the-throat ending. Well done.
