Why didn't someone tell me "Weeds" is the best show ever?!
My husband and I have been watching back-episodes of the show and it is AWESOME!
Well written, quirky, fast-paced and funny, with highly critical stabs at the Bush administration in frequent doses. I am completely in love with it.

I now officially like TWO shows on television. That, and the Office.

1. You didn't ask!
I saw it on a "free preview weekend" and then I had to go down to blockbuster and rent seasons one & two on DVD. I love it, I want to try some "milf" weed!

3. Mary-Louise Parker is SO good.
The family dynamics are hilarious and well-developed.
I love Celia. She is HORRID.

4. I've jinxed it now.
Everything I love gets promptly canceled. Like Carnivale.

24. Oh, And The Title Song Is Sung By Different Artists Each Week
However, they don't tell you who the artist is. You should Google the original artist for "Little Boxes". I can't remember her name. Quite an interesting woman.

8. Ok, I gotta say...
Mary-Louise Parker's character kinda reminds me of you.

I think you look a LOT like her. Also, you've definitely got the cool mom thing going on.

Well, minus the drug dealing...I think... ;)

16. I'm addicted to several things on TV
Top Chef, for one

Anthony Bordain

Olbermann, of course

And since it's still baseball season... Red Sox baseball.


Last night I was in bed at 7:30... I think the change in weather is raising cane w/ me... somehow.

13. Weeds is so well done
Notice that you never see Mary-Louise Parker's character ever smoke weed

17. Kinda like Aaron Eckhart's character in "Thank you for not smoking"
He's supposively this heavy smoker and yet you never once see the guy light up a cigerette although he came close a few times.

23. Professional dealers never consume their own product.
Which is why I was a miserable failure as a dealer in college!:smoke: :rofl:
