    Geehs ... these people write a great comedy series; the actors are just about hand picked and do a fantastic job; and, after laughting all the way to the last episode you have the crapy idea to sheet on it? C'mon, just rave it and pray they continue the fantastic job they've done so far.

    Kudos to the entire cast and all the people behind it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Actually a boring episode

    Weeds jumped the shark at the end of season 4, seasons 5 and 6 were crap, now in season 7 they finally got back to where they started, but after seeing the last episode I'm not that eager to see another season, the episode was quite boring, the only good part was the end - in my mind, if they would have shown who the shooter is (I believe it was her brother in law), I would have been completely fine with that ending.
    I actually don't want to see her getting out alive.moreless

    The show could have contained more violence and I am glad that it didn\'t. The drug dealing world even at the weed level can be pretty agressive. There are some really good laughs in this show and although I dont laugh out loud I sure had some good internal feel good laughs. I am not sure what HBO has but Showtime is a real contender with this series! Does anyone know when they are releasing season two on DVD or where I might be able to find someone who recorded season two who might be willing to send it to me for a reasonable cost? If so email me please!

  • A show that is finally starting to find it's roots.

    Weeds is a very complicated show to review. In so many ways it has made me laugh and has been a truly great show. Then again, there have been times when I pretty much didn't care if the show was canceled or renewed.
    If you have watched the early seasons it can be very understandable to not love the direction this show went. It started out based on it's title "Weeds". However, over the years it ha taken dramatic turns from a single mother selling pot to support her family. Going from selling alone to selling with bikers her suppliers and Mexican gangsters.
    Where I feel we really lost this show was around season 5. Things really started going down hill there, as well as late season 4. The whole storyline with Esteban was just ridiculous. It went from being a good show about pot to being a crappy tele novella style show with absolutely nothing in common with it's early years. To be blunt from the end of season 4 to the end of season 6 "Weeds" has been more like " Crappy show where woman ruins her life and all those around her with very bad life choices".
    Alas just like the Phoenix the show has risen from it's tattered disgraces of the past 3 years to being what it once was. I have enjoyed season 7 of weeds and find myself, for the first time in a long time, saying "I can't wait til' next week" and I am. Truly this show has redeemed itself from all past transgressions and is finally worth really watching.
    If you don't watch weeds start but start from the beginning, the good years. Yeah, there may be a lot of crap to garble through in the middle but trust me it gets better and better as it really starts to get again after season 6. So please, watch weeds. Enjoy the journey and in the words of the legendary Doug Wilson "What happened to all the cheese?"
