...never forgotten his first night there. "I'd never been locked in before," he says. "For years I used to wake at night and hear that door slamming. This to me is closure." With Rudd's simple "sorry," Harrison's countrymen hear a door closing on a dark chapter of their history...
Ironically, when it's not trying to get shows off the air, the PTC runs a very good online program that reviews shows for family-friendliness. This kind of effort--which enables choice rather than limiting it--might recognize Dexter as an intelligent, dark show for grownups and maybe mature youths (many of whom would probably rather watch it unedited anyway).

Had the religious right leaders fallen in behind Huckabee early on, when he was a late-night joke, they actually might have demonstrated their clout...
