‘Weeds’ is a highly watched American comedy television series now is hitting the ranks with its new ‘Weeds Season 4 Episode 9 “Little Boats”.
In this episode Nancy and Esteban struggle to fit each other into their busy schedules. Why? of course for various contexts based on the theme and flow of this the very compelling [...]

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, [...]

(S04E08) This episode definitely belongs in the “mixed bag” category. Some things worked for me and others didn’t. Nancy’s extended lunch date with Esteban and Shane’s prison-style lunch confrontation were both enjoyable. 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 [...]

I want to say that day-to-day life here is reaching a point of normalcy, what with Shane going back to school and Nancy holding down a real 9-to-5 job, but then I snap out of it, remembering that we’re talking about Weeds here. 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 [...]

When he’s not playing eccentric Andy Botwin on the Showtime series, the actor says he’s not looking to relax; he’s looking for more work.

JUSTIN KIRK plays creepy Andy Botwin on ” Weeds” and has also starred in “Angels in America.” “Weeds” airs Mondays on Showtime — there [...]

Weeds has recently proceeded with such scattershot abandon — Celia in custody, then not; Nancy training to smuggle, then being deployed in a front; Albert Brooks nailing the absurd pathos his castmates all aspire to, then disappearing — that we hardly believe the unfolding allegory that dominated this episode was even planned by the writers. [...]

July 22, 2008 - What the F? (As Nancy would say as she lingers over a human trafficking hole the size of a storm drain in the back of her maternity shop.) The Weeds introduction continues to blow. This time it was a beach motif complete with sandals in the sand and a conch. If [...]

Some critics were skeptical about the big move that the harshly addictive Showtime series Weeds proffered on its fourth season.  From the comforts of suburbia, the people behind this hit dramedy decided to move Nancy Botwin, played by Mary Louise Parker, and her drug-dealing ways to somewhere perhaps more liberated – a California beach town [...]
