WOW, Desperate Houswives got 15 emmy nominations! Usually that's reserved for cable shows <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> DH is by far the best written show on network tv but I work at Showtime and just saw the pilot for a new show called "WEEDS" Has anyone heard of it yet?

WEEDS makes Wisteria Lane look like Sesame Street. It's super-edgy, deep, and wickedly funny with an amazing cast that includes Mary-Louise Parker as a widowed pot dealing PTA mom and Elizabeth Perkins as her uptight and superficial friend. (I loved her in He said She said)

I think we like these shows because they are true to life and not sanitized like alot of stuff on tv. WEEDS was created by Jenji Kohan who wrote for Friends, Sex and the City, and Will & Grace so you know we will probably all be hooked on WEEDS! No pun intended <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
It starts Aug 7th!

Sounds interesting. Do you know what station this will air and is there a link to the show?

Thanks

Yeah, I've seen all the ads. I'll give it a try, but I'm not sure pot and drug dealing are subjects that should be glorified in a comedy series.

But with cancelling Dead Like Me and the ending season of Queer As Folk now playing, Showtime needs something other than the L Word to keep me tuning in every week. Huff just doesn't do it for me, even though I'm glad Hank got an Emmy nod today.

If anyone is interested in the list of Emmy noms that came out today, you can read my article at http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art33622.asp

I agree - pot and drug dealing are not appropiate subjects for a citcom. From the trailer and synopsis it looks to me like Weeds portrays both as being the great thing that saves this widow's lifestyle and that's not a message that needs to be sent in this day and age.

Shows like this are one of the reasons my family doesn't subscribe to premium cable channels.

I don't think it shows Weed as this great thing that saves her life.. If you watch the show, it shows how it affects her life negatively and how she has to deal with the consequences and how it affects her family.. With that said . its a greeeeeat show!! Its hilarious and smart not many shows can say that nowadays
