is back and more killer than ever. The Emmy-nominated series returns for an all-new season -- and this time Dexter (Michael C. Hall) has a new take on taking life.

Having faced some of his darkest demons, Dexter's ready to put the past behind him. Now, with family life, a day job catching killers, and an uncontrollable urge to do away with the ones that get away, Dexter’s got his work cut out for him. And when a high-profile case sides him with powerful Assistant DA Miguel Prado (special guest star Jimmy Smits), the pressure might be too great for even our beloved Dexter to hack.

Family secrets so shocking even unlimited wealth and power can't keep them hidden burst forth in .

Scandals rock the privileged world of the Darling family during the second season. Nick George's (Peter Krause) efforts to uncover the truth about his father's death play second fiddle to his job as all-purpose fixer for the Darlings, whose little difficulties include keeping politician Patrick’s transgendered mistress under wraps, four-time divorcee Karen’s ill-advised engagement to her father’s most dangerous enemy and Letitia's upcoming trial -- for the murder of Nick’s father. Nola Lyons (Lucy Liu) hounds Letitia in and out of the courtroom, and scheming businessman Simon Elder (Blair Underwood) hatches a scheme that threatens to destroy Darling Enterprises.

The Dirty Sexy Money: Season Two DVD set of 3 discs contain the 13 episodes that were scheduled to air on ABC during the 2008 / 2009 television season. The series was cancelled in November 2008 and some unaired episodes were shown during the summer of 2009.

Explosions, bar fights, stakeouts, bikini-clad blondes, car chases and more explosions: was prime-time 80s action at its best.

The series featured Gerald McRaney and Jameson Parker as private eyes Rick and A. J. Simon, a dueling sibling detective duo who, despite their differences in style, demeanor and just about everything in between, managed to thwart criminal activity in the pursuit of justice from week to week.

The third season finds Rick and A. J. facing trouble again in beautiful San Diego on the trail of missing radio personalities, crooked magicians, gamblers, horse smugglers and murderers. Together the Simons put their street smarts and book sense to good use in a brotherly one-two punch, leading to some action that is not always pretty and, for sure, not always friendly, but ultimately gets the case solved. Season three also introduces Tim Reid as Detective Marcel "Downtown" Brown

The Simon and Simon: Season Three DVD set of 6 discs contain the 23 episodes that aired on CBS from September 1983 through March 1984.
