I caught the entire second season of WEEDS over the weekend. Fabulous! Even though I missed the first season (but hope to be able to catch it on Showtime at some point), I thoroughly enjoyed this show. Mary-Louise Parker and Elizabeth Perkins look enough alike to be sisters, though they aren't here.
Surprisingly, I really like Kevin Nealon, whom I've always hated. I never cared for him on Saturday Night Live and I don't even know what, if any, movies he's been in since SNL. But the WEEDS role is tailor-made for him, and he shines in it. I think he ad libs some of his lines; they're hilarious.
There's not a weak cast member in the bunch. The writing is spot on, slyly funny. It's great fun to do a show like this in a marthon viewing, which is how I saw it. I recommend WEEDS highly.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
