As it seems like everyone secretly wants what she's selling -- even city councilman Doug Wilson (Nealon) -- Nancy is faced with keeping her family life in check and her enterprise a secret from her best friend/PTA president, Celia Hodes (Perkins)." For the record, the actors referred to are Mary-Louise Parker, Kevin Nealon, & Elizabeth Perkins.

So, will anyone watch this show? For me, the premise makes the show sound, umm, stupid, for lack of a better word. I picture dumbed-down comedy with lots of drug jokes. However, the cast makes me think this could actually be something decent. I haven't had time to check out the buzz (ha ha) & came here looking for information, & was shocked that there was no thread for it yet. Not that TWOP is a measuring stick by any means, but I would think that would not bode well for potential viewer interest. Even Britney & Bobby Brown's shows had threads long before the shows started. I believe this one debuts Sunday, August 7th with the first run of subsequent weeks on Mondays.]]> Wed, 03 Aug 2005 18:08:15 -0400 http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showtopic=3129210 Spoiler Discussion http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showtopic=3156585 WHAT??]]> Tue, 31 Jul 2007 23:25:26 -0400 http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showtopic=3156585 <![CDATA[The Weeds Music Thread: "Little Boxes On the Hillside..."]]> http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showtopic=3156906
Plus I enjoy all the covers for the theme song though I prefer Melvina Reynolds' as the best since it is her song.

Oh, Captain Till!

On the whole, a very enjoyable episode. I'm really looking forward to how it goes down between Nancy, Guillermo and Esteban. Plus seeing Lupita, Marvin and Sanjay again was such a treat! I hope they stick around for a while.

I'm glad Nancy's getting back in the game, the maternity thing was gonna get boring easily.]]> Mon, 28 Jul 2008 23:24:19 -0400 http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showtopic=3175581 <![CDATA[The Quotes Thread: "Don't Tell Me You're Dry"]]> http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showtopic=3156917 Weeds surely deserves one. There are certainly a lot of great quotes from the past two seasons and hopefully more to come in future episodes.

I guess I'll start off:
from the pilot

*Nancy: People got stoned for The Passion of the Christ? That's disturbing.
Josh: It's not as disturbing as seeing it not stoned. Religion my ass, it's a straight-up snuff film

*Isabelle: Did your hair go off to a Mexican boarding school too? (re Celia shaving Dean's head in revenge for the affair in ep 102)

*Doug: (on the medicinal marijuana facility) It's a weed wonderland, Nancy. It's like Amsterdam only you don't have to visit the Anne Frank house and pretend to be all sad and shit.]]> Fri, 10 Aug 2007 00:10:37 -0400 http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showtopic=3156917 <![CDATA[Weeds In The Media: "It's That MILF Weed..."]]> http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showtopic=3156583 Weeds here.]]> Tue, 31 Jul 2007 23:21:14 -0400 http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showtopic=3156583 <![CDATA[3-15: "Go" 2007.11.19]]> http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showtopic=3162063
WOW. That was a powerful episode. That last scene when Nancy burned down her house - well MLP was just amazing. She finally GOT it. The turtles, the conversation with Guillermo, Shane talking to Judah - she finally realized what she had done to her family. When she told Judah "I tried" my eyes were tearing up. She has been avoiding her grief for so long. I am glad she finally owned up to it. If MLP doesn't win the Emmy next time or a Golden Globe again, she will have been robbed.

ANd Celia - RATTED HER OUT! A true evil bitch to the bitter end.

That scene with Conrad - was that the end of their relationship? It certainly seems that way. Hence the reiteration of their differences - Conrad doesn't know The Grateful Dead, he wants a woman who can cook a friend turkey, Nancy barely knows how to microwave, Heylia will never accept her. And Conrad told Heylia "she's nto my girlfriend" when speaking of Nancy. It makes me sad because the two actors have such good chemistry and such a good rapport.

The only funny part was Doug, who was HILARIOUS. Thank goodness for him and his banjo.

I was surprised that Tara wasn't involved in something more sinister...]]> Mon, 19 Nov 2007 22:36:34 -0500 http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showtopic=3162063 <![CDATA[5-2: "Machetes Up Top" 2009.06.15]]> http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showtopic=3186635 This episode was intense.
