View Full Version : Weeds
There’s a very real possibility that I can’t operate the forums search tool because I really expected there to be a thread about the new Showtime ‘dramedy’ Weeds.
Several of the reviews of this show have drawn parallels with Desperate Housewives because of its suburban setting but this is not Wisteria lane. Mary-Louise Parker plays the role of Nancy Botwin, a recently widowed mother of two sons. Her financial circumstances mean she turned to dealing pot in her middle class California town.
It a cut above the usual US comedy show, and in many respects it reminded me of the HBO show ‘Entourage’. It probably won’t appeal to the die hard Friends and Joey fans but if you can accept the fact that in the real world people swear and aren’t always that nice to each other then you will probably enjoy it, it’s certainly the funniest US show I’ve since Entourage or Arrested Development.
Has anyone else see this, and if so what did you think?
I watched it last night.
It was really good. Had me in stitches most of the time.
Saw it this afternoon, brilliant, unfortunately you need to have half a brain cell to understand the humor, so I give a season at best. :(
On the upside Mary-Louise Parker is a fine looking women. :n0rty:

I know what you mean, how many series have we had of “According to Jim” or “The King of Queens” when ‘better’ shows get cancelled. I appreciate that it is a matter of taste and ultimately it does all come down to ratings but it seems that networks like Showtime and HBO are trying to put better written, better acted and better directed shows on US television.
I hope you’re wrong about Weeds dieing quickly (no pun intended) but the fact that Entourage has been picked up for a third series suggests that there is a market for these higher quality shows. I'd much rather have 8 episodes of Entourage or Weeds in a year the 22 episodes of Joey or Friends. I certainly am looking forward to this next week.
As for Ms Parker, I’ve been a bit of a fan of hers for while, more so after her run in The West Wing. Not only is a very good actress, but the scene in the car park after her son’s soccer practise… my god that women looks good.
I missed this as my hotel does not have Showtime :( It seems that this is basically the replacement for Dead Like Me and probably is aimed at a similar audience. Will probably be Showtimes biggest show and therefore get cut :|
Just watched the first episode of this. Not bad at all and quite funny in places.
Roll on next week. :)

Thought the second half was much funnier than the first half. Hope this series works out, I can see the potential for veering off into sentimentality lagoon a bit too often.
Just watched this last night - very impressed! Nice to see a US network airing this kind of subversive (for the US) programming... Here's hoping it can sustain the same quality over its run and not get too bogged down in the melodramatics (as in the final scenes of the 1st episode)

Im glad its Sky One & not Ch4. At least it won't be moved all over the place.
King of Queens is pretty good ...
It's fantastic, one of the best sitcoms of recent years along with ELR and Arrested Development. It's not as good as it used to be but it's still hilarious.
Watched Weeds, didn't find it funny. Hopefully it'll improve

Late review is comedy in itself though, get a handful of humourless wannabe's on and slate all the good stuff they didn't think of - gimps.

Weeds just keeps getting better and better. After a slightly shakey start, I just adore this show now. Are there only 10 episodes in this first series?
yeah theres 10, i was actually quite dissapointed with number 8, i didnt find it as funny, or interesting as the others, hope it picks up for a good cliffhanger :D

Only just got around to starting it, and its by far my favourite new show of the season. If i wasn't going out, i'd probably watch the next 7 episodes in a row :)
Caught the first ep, on recommendation from here and loved it. Catching up with the remaining 9 by the weekend. Great show. :D
god dang! this show is far to short for its own good! 20 odd minutes is far from enough to do justice or this show! Roll on season 2!

I won't be watching this, ever. Liberal bull****.
To make her a cocaine or heroin dealer would be really daring. As it is, this is about as hackneyed as a stand-up comic's every other word being 'roach'. Put as many references to soft drugs in as you can, that'll get the youth market on your side all right -- and of course, it's all so harmless, isn't it?
cant really see there being much call for heroin in Agrestic to be honest Dene. Maybe Coke, but not as widespread as weed. Anyways, just a show and a damn fine one at that, will deffo be repeat viewing these in a month or 2 !

LooN
was thinking the same thing... it's hardly aimed at the youth market... but then if you'd seen it, you'd know that, wouldn't you Dene?Fair enough, but haven't all TV/film enthusiasts passed judgement on stuff we haven't seen at some time or another? (For example) I've never watched Heartbeat or Midsomer Murders, but feel safe enough labelling them crud.
I simply feel that placing (presumably!) fairly innocuous references to soft drugs in the media is a self-consciously 'cool' thing to do, and it was only a matter of time before a whole programme was based around it. I won't be lending it my support, but of course that's just that way I feel about it.
So long as recreational drugs are regarded as cool -- and let's face it, they are -- then there will be a drugs problem. And cool is quite possibly the worst thing anyone or anything could be labelled, because it effectively means "to be respected by everyone, without having done anything at all to deserve it".
Who started in with this calling things 'cool' anyway? It must be a fairly recent development. Whoever it was deserves a good Jack Regan-style kicking IMO (not literally BTW, before anyone accuses me of advocating violence).
crazy talk, I dont quite understand how anyone can comment on a specific thread about a TV show and never have seen it. Why even comment on the show in this thread if you're not even going to watch it? Bizarre to say the least...
LooNaTiK
05-10-2005, 12:35
i see your point Dene, but you haven't seen the show... it's like never watching Trainspotting and assuming it glorifies heroin use. not every aspect of the show makes light of cannabis use, in fact there is very little cannabis use in it...
the main plots revolve around the mother (who doesnt smoke), who is coming to terms with loss of her husband, then there's trouble she gets into from dealing... rival dealers, cop problems, finance and so on... there is also the son who is in love with a deaf girl and in need of a father figure, the waster brother in law who's often in trouble with the law, the younger son who has behavioural problems, the woman who's just had both her breasts removed and is undergoing chemotherapy, her husband who is having an affair.
it's not just about funny situtations people get into when they're stoned... it's not IDeal with Johnny Vegas for an American audience.
im not going to convince you, im not even trying to, but i urge you to get your facts straight before commenting on something you dont really understand, or havent seen.

The first ep was the highlight by far, but it was a fun season.

Favourite new show this season, despite stiff competition from Rome. So good to have quality shows to watch.
Didn't realise it's aired and finished in the States already.
Love the subtle use of music in some of the eps. When Celia's on the toilet in ep 4 was very funny.
I like this kind of subverted humour. I don't find it 'lol' funny but amusing, it certainly makes you appreciate the writing efforts nvolved. Mary Louise Parker, phhwoaar. Always was a fan of her in West Wing but here she even yummier.
Trying to track down the music used in the middle of ep 4 where everyone is sleeping. Nice little segment that again made all the more poignant because of the music.
Hope they commission a (longer) second season.

SHOWTIME FIRES UP A SECOND SEASON OF HIT COMEDY WEEDS
Twelve New Episodes of Critically Acclaimed Series Starring Golden Globe Nominees Mary-Louise Parker and Elizabeth Perkins Begins Production in Spring For Summer Debut
LOS ANGELES, CA (December 13, 2005) – On the heels of today's three Golden Globe® nominations including Best Television Series-Musical or Comedy, SHOWTIME greenlighted 12 new episodes of WEEDS for a second season, it was announced today by Showtime's President of Entertainment Robert Greenblatt. One of the most talked about comedy series of the year, WEEDS debuted last August to critical raves. A production of Lions Gate Television, the series stars Mary-Louise Parker, Elizabeth Perkins, Tonye Patano, Romany Malco, Justin Kirk and Kevin Nealon. Created and executive produced by Emmy® Award winner Jenji Kohan, the series will resume production in Los Angeles this spring and premiere this summer.
"WEEDS represents the best of what Showtime can offer -- a provocative, complex, richly textured show about contemporary family life that also manages to be incredibly relatable," said Greenblatt. "And its execution -- writing, acting, directing, and production values -- are at the very top of the food chain. This show makes our network shine. We were addicted the minute we saw the pilot."
"The critical and popular response to WEEDS has been tremendous and we're thrilled to be moving forward on the second season," said Kevin Beggs, President of Programming and Production, Lions Gate Television. "We're extremely proud of our creative team headed by Jenji Kohan, and we salute our extraordinary cast."
At today's Golden Globe nominations, Mary-Louise Parker was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series-Musical or Comedy and Elizabeth Perkins was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television.
WEEDS, a single-camera comedy that exposes the dirty little secrets that lie behind the pristine lawns and shiny closed doors of homes in the fictional town of Agrestic, California. Parker stars as a suburban mom who resorts to selling weed to support her family after her husband unexpectedly dies. Perkins stars as the uptight head of the PTA and Nealon plays a city councilman and one of Parker's regular customers. Parker's character finds unusual support and solace from an African American family as she begins to pursue her burgeoning business. Produced by Lions Gate Television in association with Tilted Productions, WEEDS is executive produced by Jenji Kohan ("Friends").

all i can say is a simple :clap:
I'll second that! I'm still chuckling at the final scene of the last episode of series 1 - I knew it was coming but still, fantastic. I'm going to miss my regular fix of Weeds.
Ah well, fiingers crossed Santa will bring the soundtrack cd so I can warble along to Little Boxes all day instead :) .
A quick heads up, new season premiers on August 14th.

Its going to be a different artist covering the song every week.
Ah, that's not so bad! I hope they do another soundtrack to this season as there were some great tunes in this ep and the S1 ost was a fave of mine last year.
Very very funny! NIce to have this back! :D
Elizabeth Perkins totally steals the whole show though! :lol: :notworthy

Go here for a free download of the fantastic song from the season premiere called "**** Was I". The swear filter will block the title but if you saw the episode you'll know exactly what song i'm talking about.....
Once again this show has a belter of a soundtrack!
Excellent! Nice one, cockbongo! :thumbs:
Love it when songs are perfectly used as inner monologues like this! :lol:
Also did you notice that Andy was reading Rejuvenile (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump2.php?url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1400080886/thedvdforums-20)! :D

No bother - it follows in the footsteps of the brilliant "I Can't Move" from S1, aptly played over shots of Elizabeth Perkins trying desparately to shift her constipation......:D

I think I am the only one who didn't enjoy this ep too much. Didn't think it was all that great!
I was very surprised to see that the first four episodes of the new season are floating around.
I failed to exercise any level of self control last night and watched all four, and I was in stitches several times during each episode. I was afraid that this series wouldn't live up to it's first season, but on the basis of the first four episodes it looks to be picking up where it left off (The admissions direction at the Rabbinical School that Andy wants to attend is particularly entertaining, and easy on the eye!).
I'm just disappointed that after waiting months for the second series I now have to wait another month to see a new episode.
A fine opening episode to the new series, plenty of laughs & a joy to watch. Highlight for me was the "Stop looking for my nipples!" comment. :lol:
"Argh! Who let in 'Cancer ****'?"
"It's 'Cancer Tits', Doug! No wonder your wife prefers to **** a pole!"
:lol: :notworthy
'My wife is ******* a Polish guy?' :lol:
He such a great character, him and Andy make a troubling twosome.
I love the relationship between Celia and her Daughter.
Is it possible to love this show more?
It's just SO good! :D
Andy's speech to Shane was jaw droppingly hilarious! :lol:
"Argh! Who let in 'Cancer ****'?"
"It's 'Cancer Tits', Doug! No wonder your wife prefers to **** a pole!"
:lol: :notworthy
that was fantastic - this is one of the few programmes that wifey and me both love - shame it hasn't got a larger audience (but I guess that makes it cooler/culty/exclusive)
I had assumed this was the UK date but I've just checked and the 14th is day it comes back in the US. No sign of a UK showing yet. :razz:
Sky will be showing season 2 in October :D

01-09-2006, 19:05
OMFG :notworthy :notworthy That was the funniest episode of weeds I've ever seen! :lol: :lol: That lesson that andy gave :nuts: :nuts: :clap: Just as this was loosing its appeal for me it redeems itself.
I have a pretty cool Uncle as it is who's shown me around the Red Light District in Amsterdam but he never let me sample the talent. Shane you lucky beggar although a bit close to the bone and a tad perverse :suspect:
There's times when the profanity and vulgarity that comes out of these characters mouths is so OTT that it's just ridiculous. Like Doug's dilemma of wanting his wife, who makes his kids lunches, to suck his balls or Dean's outrageous outburst at his firing. :lol:
Anyword on initial ratings for this season? I hope it's doing well.
Ive just got the first series of this, watched the first episode last nigth and while it was pretty entertaining, I really didnt think it was anything spectacular.
As with most shows Im gonna keep going until it probably finds its feet, anyone comment on the shows progress/quality?
Whats the betting that nancy will use hubby to bust the armenian ?
Love this series
Ninjakettle
07-09-2006, 12:35
Yeah this has proved decent viewing for a second season so far. Some great lines as mentioned and i agree that it's wonderfully OTT at times - i can't believe they had Andy bring Shane to that brothel!
( was watching "Red Dragon" the other night and realised Ed Norton's wife was none other than Nancy! )
Love the music choices in the show too.

Hmm, am I behind an episode then? The last one I saw ended with the Las Vegas scene, I thought that was the last one so far.
Yes there was another ep this week, which you've been spoilered for a little bit now.
Who was the guy on the Segway right at the end?
The way this season is going I'd have to say it's a shoo-in for next year's 'comedy' Emmy. It's that good!
Who was the guy on the Segway right at the end?
I believe he's just some guy Celia suggested to Nancy to shack up with when she was handing out her campaign literature at the beginning of the ep. Nancy mentioned that he was in his 60's and rode a segway, therefore: 'hell no!'.
Ah I thought it was meant to be but that bloke didn't look 60!
Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weeds_%28TV_series%29) list the first four artists used in the title sequence for season two but has anyone come across who else will record the song for the rest of the season?
Has anyone got any decent links to any Weeds* related articles as Showtime won't let me in to their oh so exclusive US only website. :razz:
* TV show of course. :p

cockbongo
26-10-2006, 12:55
According to epguides.com, yes it is.
I dread to think what's going to happen - it's all going to kick off........!
Hard to believe it's nearly over for another year. Seems like only yesterday i was psyching myself for the series to start. Full marks to Showtime for keeping it coming week after week and no silly breaks.
I really like how this season has developed, i guess being limited to only 12 episodes has its restrictions but i think sometimes it works for the better as each character and the central premise has advanced a lot in the 11 episodes since it started. There's no Lost-like plot devices or over egging of one particular situation.
Here's hoping for a S3 and decent DVD release. I'm still gutted they ****** the first season up.

Oh God, what an excellent cliffhanger and even better than the first, IMHO.
Can't believe they killed off Peter, I was quite shocked by that and still couldn't believe it as it showed the garage door closing down on them.
just caught up with the last 2 episodes and what a fantastic end to a great series, now begins the wait for news of s3.
Watched season 2 over the last few days... fantastic stuff... really do love this show. Roll on season 3
Awesome end to an superb series. Kat is a great late addition to the wacky world of Agrestic and yay for the original theme song on this ep. :clap:
I was half expecting Andy to cop off with Shane's g/f towards the end :eek:
Any news on a soundtrack to the second season? The 1st one is worth picking up if you're a fan of the eclectic music used.
I wouldn't be surprised if Peter isn't dead, we saw no conclusive proof. It's only implied he's been bumped off

Sky will show S2 as it was on their anytime feature (first episode). So should be here next month or so.
Or the R1 DVD or Blu Ray should be out in July, I think.

Still waiting to watch Season 2 on SKy :(
I recently just watched S1 & 2 again back to back. Classic TV show that's just as funny second time round as the first.

Might as well order the dvds. They are out in R1 soon.
Already bought the US Bluray edition of season 1, and have just ordered season 2, also on Bluray as they're all region. Sick of waiting for Sky, and no doubt a better picture too!

They did show the first two episodes in HD on Sky Anytime at least a couple of months ago, I thought it must be imminent, but still no sign. If it doesn't appear soon, I'll probably just order both seasons on Blu Ray.
Got season 2 on DVD today, good thing they realized their mistake with the s1 R1 DVD and we get widescreen on this release. I haven't started watching the episodes yet, but I'll watch a few later this evening. :)
Series 1 is being repeated on sky one HD (in HD) 31/07 to 04/08 (2 eps per night)
Series 2 begins 05/08 22:00 in HD
