Darkly deconstructing Dexter

Why online media is a great place to take you behind the scenes of your favourite shows.

Online media continues to be a great space for the deconstruction of television, allowing fans of programmes to see behind the scenes.

This photo of a patient Michael C. Hall sitting on the set of Dexter is one of many that are featured in a photo shoot in “Hollywood Backlot“, a feature of the LA Times. You can see a lot more on make-up artists working on grisly murder victims, and other actors from the third series, which has just launched in the US. Here’s another on Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles.

TV Tonight has regularly featured set visits designed to show you what happens when the cameras stop rolling, including Home and Away, Rush, Project Runway Australia, Satisfaction, Sunrise, The Morning Show and Mornings with Kerri-Anne.

It’s always a delicate arrangement bringing these to readers. Publicists worry if photographs will capture an unflattering moment of a star, or if a photo winds up becoming a spoiler. Common sense usually prevails here…

There are more “behind the scenes” galleries in the pipeline.

What shows would you like to see deconstructed?

  1. David, I would love for you a do a feature on Nine’s Sunday morning sports programs. With the Wide World of Sports, The Sunday NRL Footy Showand The Sunday Roastall going live to air from Channel Nine’s Sydney studio at Willoughby (with the last two using the set of Today) between 9am and 1pm, I would love to see what goes on behind the scenes.

    However, with the Roast and Footy Show finished finished to for year it will have to wait until 2009. Perhaps when you come up Sydney next year you could drop in and see what happens.

  2. pleaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese bring Dexter Season 2 to Ten free to air asap. We don’t all have pay TV, ad it’s a fabulous show. And don’t keep moving the timeslot around.

  3. I know it’s still months from it’s US premiere but Dollhouse would be good!

    David do you know when Dexter will be back on Showcase, reports were October but there is nothing in next months printed guide.
