Dexter Season 4 Trailer Reveals John Lithgow As The Trinity Killer

Posted by Bradley under Television

Dexter Season 4 starts September 27, 2009 but you can get a three and a half minute sneak peak right now!

John Lithgow joins the cast this season as the Trinity killer but I’m not sold on that idea just yet.

Also coming soon to sho.com are the animated webisodes entitled Dexter: Early Cuts.

A prequel to the Dexter live action series showcasing how a young Dexter evolved into the serial killer he is today.

Looks like Dexter fans have some interesting stuff coming up for Season 4!

REMINDER: Your Analog TV’s Will Implode At Midnight

Posted by Bradley under Television

Don’t forget your old school analog TV‘s will cease receiving over-the-air TV signals come tomorrow unless you score a digital converter box or you receive your television by cable, satellite or built-in HDTV tuner.

Congress extended the DTV Transition date from Feburary 17th, 2009 (best day ever might I add) to June 12, 2009 due to the economy and lack of DTV coupons.

It’s your geeky duty to call grandma and inform her that her precious block of Baking With Julia and The Best Of The Joy Of Painting will no longer be filling her noontime cat nap unless she steps up to all digital TV.

Hello from the future!
