“Weeds”: “Mother Thinks the Birds Are After Her” episode; Showtime, June 16.
The premise: Having burned down her house, Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) and her family travel to the Mexican border town of Ren Mar, Calif., where they visit [...]

LOS ANGELES - Albert Brooks’ mordant on-screen neuroticism has lifted his films and characters to comedic heights, with “Defending Your Life,” “Lost in America” and his Oscar-nominated turn in “Broadcast News” among the prime examples.
But it’s difficult to find evidence of personal torment during an interview prompted by Brooks’ guest role on the comedy series [...]

Desperate Housewives and Heroes have been snubbed for Emmy Awards a year after making the top 10 finalists lists for Best Comedy and Drama.
Instead, Emmy first timer Family Guy and critics’ favourite Mad Men will take their place.

I dug this episode of Weeds but goodness it made me nervous! Nancy is breaking the law all over the North American continent, ya’ll. The girl has gone international. I’m watching the season cold with no knowledge of spoilers but I’m thinking this trafficking thing can’t end well.
This episode, “Lady’s a Charm,” highlights the [...]

As I mentioned earlier, I’m still working my way through past seasons of Weeds, thanks to TV on DVD — and a Blockbuster gift card (Thanks, Mom!). So I was a bit disheartened when I read in this week’s New York magazine (link contains NSFW language) that Nancy Botwin’s pot-dealing partner Conrad (played by [...]

Although Showtime’s Weeds is dark comedy series that authentically taps on the shady dealings within the drug business, that doesn’t mean that cast uses real marijuana while filming the pot-themed series. In an interview with FANCAST, Elizabeth Perkins, who presently stars as Celia Hodes on the show, clears the air on the kind of herbs [...]
