(S04E09) It appears that Nancy is growing up, and it only took four seasons for it to happen. She dealt with mature relationship issues and had a calm, romantic moment with Esteban. I was thrilled that she finally made good on her promise to be more available to her family, going MILF-a-MILF with Lisa and [...]

Why did I find that hokey ending, with Esteban silently embracing Nancy on her porch with lampshade cut outs of little sailboats creating silhouettes, so sweet? We all know the relationship won’t end well but I couldn’t help it!
In this episode, “Little Boats,” Nancy and Esteban’s ship takes on water, Shane’s little dinghy runs aground, [...]

Nothing like motherly love and some good old fashioned human trafficking to bring a story to life. And nobody does it better than Weeds. Where else on television in a single half-hour can you find Mexican Cartel workers throwing around a gringa seeking blow and an adolescent committing the ageless crime of lusting after his [...]

(S04E08) This episode definitely belongs in the “mixed bag” category. Some things worked for me and others didn’t.

On the down side, Celia’s drugged-out craziness and Silas’ scenes with Lisa didn’t entertain me.
I expected something more at this point in the [...]

So while this episode, brilliantly titled ”I Am the Table,” seems more [...]

August 5, 2008 - Shane is going to get his ass kicked on his first day of school, but that’s no matter because he’s used to it and can apparently eat bears!? He is the only Botwin required to go to school because while Silas is out milking the milkmaid, Shane is going to be [...]

Mary-Louise Parker has built a cult following for her quirky Showtime hit “Weeds.” The show is about a single mom, living a nameless, look-a-like California suburb, who turns to selling pot to help make ends meet. Parker’s character Nancy Botwin’s life is far from bland.
She faces off tough drug dealers, Latin American drug lords, the [...]

Stoners are riding high nowadays. Fans are buzzing about the reunion of Cheech and Chong after a long feud, and a couple of tokers are lighting up the box office with “Pineapple Express.”
Cheech and Chong will miss this weekend’s Seattle Hempfest, but they’re bringing their joint comedic efforts to town with a November show at [...]

(S04E07) Nancy hasn’t completely left her old self behind, has she? After only a short time at Maternity World, she was ready to take on her old operation. Many of the pre-Ren Mar folks emerged from various parts of California. I was strangely excited to see the Botwins’ old housekeeper, Lupita, along with Sanjay (now [...]
