Weeds
I recently started watching this series on Showtime called Weeds. It's about this widow, with two sons who sells marijuana. After her husband dies, she can't afford to live the lifestyle she has grown accustomed to, so she sells marijuana to the rich suburbanites in her neighborhood to help make ends meet.
So far the show has been super entertaining. I've seen 4 episodes so far, and they have all been very good. I believe this is the first season, but it seems there's a lot I don't know. So maybe I missed some previous episodes I don't know about.
Kevin Nealon was always one of my favorite SNL people. He's hysterical on this show. He plays this goofy, stoner CPA, who lives in the same posh neighborhood in Califnornia. In one episode he's at this medicinal marijuana store, and they have all these different blends of marijuana to choose from. It was setup sort of like a gourmet coffee shop. And this one variety was called "The Steven Hawking". So Kevin Nealon says something like "hey Im gonna grab some of that Steven Hawking stuff". And the woman he's with looks at him and says "Steven Hawking"? And he replies "Yeah, a few puffs of that shit, and they have to wheel your ass out of here".
My only complaint so far about the show is that it's only 30 minutes. Most of the original series on HBO and Showtime are an hour, but for some reason this one is only 30 minutes. You just get into the episode and it's over before you know it.

I started DVRing it, and watched an episode, I wasn't crazy about it.
I agree that shows like that and Starved should be an hour long. Did you watch it last night? IT'S NOT OK!!!
Really? Which episode of Weeds did you see?
No I didnt see last nights Starved, but it should be on my DVR. I thought the episode with the waterbugs was hysterical. I was upset to see that it was the season finale. I think I've only seen like 4 or 5 episodes and the season is ending already. THAT IS NOT OK!!!
There are only 7 episodes ... IT'S NOT OK!
