God bless the Parents Television Council. If not for their watchful eye, people may be exposed to shows that aren’t Two and a Half Men.

Now, everyone’s favorite scolds and schoolmarms are opposing CBS’ plans to bring Dexter to CBS. Via TV Week:

“CBS’ plan is purely based on corporate greed, not what’s good for families or in the public interest,” said PTC President Tim Winter. “These Showtime programs contain some of the most explicit content on television, period. Yet CBS has no qualms about putting shows that make heroes of serial killers and revel in sick, graphic violence or those that condone drug use and glorify drug dealers in front of millions of children and families on broadcast television. Despite that CBS and Viacom are now ‘separate,’ CBS is funneling in super-raunchy Viacom-owned premium cable content onto the CBS broadcast network … It is also another powerful example of why the rules concerning media consolidation must not be loosened.”

Furthermore, they vowed to contact every sponsor of the CBS airings of Dexter. You know, to let them know that they are sponsoring Dexter. In case they thought it was a show about a veterinarian who falls in love with another veterinarian and they live in a lavender house full of rabbits.

I suppose this is nothing new — the whole killjoy aspect of things. It all comes down the fact that there’s family shows and then mom and dad shows. Or, as I see it, kid shows or shows that I would actually watch. I’m not happy about the idea of sanitizing the airwaves of anything remotely dark in the name of parents who can’t control their kids’ viewing habits. Because, you know, one episode of Weeds and the kids are going to run around like crazy taking the pots and the cocaines.

It’s just pretty maddening that there are people who can’t see artistic value in shows like Weeds and Dexter — who can’t see beyond the premise to the stories beneath. Obviously, these people have no idea how fucking awesome these shows are.

In a recent interview with TV Guide, dearly departed Project Runway castoff Chris March opined that either Rami or Christian would be the last designer standing. He said, “That’s a tough one. Rami seems to be the odds-on favorite, simply because of how successful he is already. But I tell ya, having been in the room with Christian, I think everybody should watch out!”

Now that we’re a few episodes in and we know everyone a little bit, I think we can start formulating final threes.

Shall we?

Okay, so I think Rami has to be in the final three. Any way you slice it. And I don’t really have a problem with that. He makes pretty dresses and he has a nice bald head for me to stare at (although one of my gays has raised vocal opposition to Rami due to a perceived excess in baring his clavicle — again, I have no problem with that). I mean, all hell could break loose and there could be a surprise elimination. Like Tre is to Top Chef as potential Rami is to Project Runway. But this is a long shot.

And I would probably venture a guess as to say that Christian could make it into the finals too, based on his youthful creativity and brass. Christian is wearing on me a little bit. If I can steal intellectual property from another one of my gays (we had a little Project Runway Canada marathon this past weekend, so this stuff came up), it seemed like Christian was going to be entertaining and witty. Unfortunately, most of the wit this season belongs to Stephen (that being said, his Tim Gunn impression kind of came off like a poor man’s Santino).

So who’s the third lucky buckaroo? Not Ricky, not Stephen, not Elisa, not Sweet P. Hopefully not Jillian, because I don’t dig her aesthetic at all. I’m going to venture a guess and say Victorya — although I think she tends to make such simple stuff I’m not sure if she has the grandiose vision that the judges are looking for.

So what do you think?

This is me soliciting comments from you.

I’m guessing you guys think Christian based on that poll we had up for like two weeks that practically no one voted on.  I’m guessing because there were too many choices and y’all panicked.  I realize that I’m rambling at this point.  Maybe that should be my new approach to blogging.  Just barely coherent rambling with the distant hope that something worthwhile/insightful/funny might inadvertently slip out.  Anyone, anyone?
