In a TV schedule populated with reality-show dummies and played-out programming, we're excited about -- and grateful for -- these 10 legitimately interesting characters:

Dexter’s Baby
Dexter
Who Is He? The newborn son of doting dad Dexter, who also happens to be a prolific serial killer.
Why He's Complicated: Will he inherit his father's proclivity for gore? Will Dexter get his baby in on the criminal action? Will child protective services have to step in? Will Dexter take them out if they try to? We just don't know. One thing's for sure: Season four of Dexter is ripe for a potentially murderous case of nature vs. nurture.
