Just discovered Weeds on Nflix. It
was on Showtime from 05 to 12.
Never even heard of it. What a
cast. Mary Louise Parker, back
when she was still beautiful.
Kevin Nealon, Elizabeth Perkins
as the bitchy neighbor. Justin
Kirk as the brother in law Andy.
Probably the best character on
the show so far. Priceless when
he explains jerking off to his 12
year old nephew. Wish I had
somebody like that when I was
12.
Weeds is coming back later this
year on Starz with the same
cast. Except MLP is 56 and not
42 anymore. Drag.. And her
kids will be in their 30's.



The creator of "Breaking Bad" said if he knew "Weeds" existed there would not have been a BB. I tried watching "Weeds" but it started getting silly so I tuned out. Probably just as well or I might have wanted to start a little farm as a side hustle.

First three seasons were good. Then she burns down the neighborhood and it kept changing locales in the later seasons and the show seemed to be struggling to keep all the characters who weren’t members of her family involved in the story. Just got tiresome.

It's starting to get weird. She
meets a DEA agent, has dinner
with him and screws him, now
he can't live without her so they
they get married with him knowing
she's a drug dealer. For a wedding
present he busts all the cartel
drug houses in her neighborhood
except hers.

HUH?? A career DEA agent in his late
40's, attractive, falls for a woman in
her 40's with 2 kids and she's a drug
dealer? This would not happen in
a million years. He's risking his whole
career and a huge pension just to
get laid? Stupid storyline. And this
is only the middle of season 2.

Don't get involved with a woman with kids.

Ep 3 of Hollywood. Watching Jim
Parsons play a mean nasty Gay
Hwood agent is just weird. I
think he's enjoying the part a
little too much.

I wonder if they'll cover what
a terrible actor Rock Hudson
was in the start of his career.
In his first movie he had one
line and it took him 38 takes
to get it right. In Pillow Talk
he's a Gay guy playing a straight
guy playing a Gay guy. From
what I read after he died, this
was a huge hoot to everybody
on the movie set because it
was no secret Rock was the
Gayest of the Gays in Hwood
at that time. The press knew
and never said a word. In
those days the press actually
had integrity, unlike now.
