I got an Everybody Loves Raymond chill when Doug squared off against that mouthy Nature Scout on Weeds. What, she can’t share her cookie corner with the newest “You’re Pretty!” salesman? Rude. It’s official: Celia’s now a drug dealer … is the show coming full circle, to end up with Celia marrying a Mexican drug-kingpin? […]
Andy suckling Nancy, while seated on a toilet, went over the top and spilled into nothingness for me. No, I’m not a doomsayer, and I didn’t feel the downward pull of gravity tonight on Weeds, but some things are just a little too much. And then Shane got shot.

They say that parts of Southern California (as well as the tips of some of those other states between California and the Atlantic Ocean), are indistinguishable from Mexico. Esteban’s house looks like no Mexico I’ve ever been to (go Puerto Vallarta!), but I get the idea. The architecture, the tiling, the landscaping; all very Mexican […]
I may be a bit warped, but I’m seriously enjoying the fifth season of Weeds. I think that the style of humor that the show employs is just fantastic. It’s dark, it’s off-center, and it sometimes verges on the insane, but it works for the Botwin family, and it definitely works for the show. Come back […]
