Like the old saying goes "The NBA is Fantastic". Basketball season is back and for me that means Lakers season is back. I've been a die hard Laker fan since the good old Magic Johnson days when 'Showtime' was alive.

Last weekend, the Showtime family of channels presented a free preview to promote their new dramatic series, Dexter, about a serial killer working as a blood spatter specialist in Miami. I caught it the night it premiered and really wanted to like it...
