Missing the Sunday night appointment television rush of “True Blood<\/a>?” Well, everyone’s favorite serial killer-killing serial killer (say that ten times fast) is back with an infusion of frightening fun. <\/p>\n

This season Dexter<\/a> faces not only the complexities and sheer exhaustion of fatherhood, but a new nemesis called “The Trinity Killer,” who may turn out to be a father figure to Dexter. But, it’s not just premium channels offering premium television this weekend. <\/p>\n

Documentarian Ken Burns delivers a six-part series on PBS called “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea<\/a>.” Filmed over six years, this series looks at the creation of the National Parks system and the people behind it–John Muir, Teddy Roosevelt, the Civilian Conversation Corps<\/a>–and it promises to be as vast as Death Valley, as deep the Grand Canyon, and just as breathtaking.<\/p>\n

“Dexter” airs at 9 p.m. on Showtime. “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea” begins at 8 p.m. on PBS.  Check your local listings.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
