In the past, any item of houseware or appliance given to us by my family has either broken or proven inferior somehow. This has been a consistent pattern, so we stopped accepting those sorts of gifts after a while. Of course, when we got back to the city, we ended up accepting a few things to make our lives easier and because we figured it would be ok.
Last summer, the futon frame they gave us broke. I finally ordered a new one yesterday, so at least we will have one that we like now.
Yesterday, the tv they bought for us broke. It sounds like the tube has shorted out or something. We decided that we had to get a new, and I talked myself into paying a little extra for an LCD. At least it's a nice new tv.

I'm fascinated by Dexter... but I wouldn't go so far to call him a 'good person'. That's ridiculous. 
I do understand the identification with the character's impulses that so many people seem to have though. The writers do a very good job of putting the viewer at odds with himself and his set of moral values. I'm only 4 episodes into the first season though, so my opinions will probably change.
