WEEDS!! BIRDMAN!!Herc's Super-Exciting Season-Box DVD Vault!!

Published at:  Jul 10, 2006 3:45:13 AM CDT

SPOILER ALERT !!



I am – Hercules!!



Monday night is usually time for the Super-Exciting Season Box Vault, but we’ll all be out at the AICN 10th Anniversary Screenings of “Monster House,” so we stick this up a day early.







Weeds was the best live-action sitcom of 2005 and the best original series Showtime ever cablecast. It tells the tale of a thirtysomething suburban housewife who, after her husband gets killed without a paid-up life insurance policy, maintains her upper-middle-class lifestyle by selling doob to all her marijuana-loving neighbors. The one big minus is horny Nancy Botwin (Mary Louise Parker) does eventually have some hot spontaneous sex, but has it with her clothes on; this Showtime series indulges no exciting “Angels In America”-like Mary Louise nudity for us to enjoy. Still and all, whether she’s trying to make a go of her “fakery” (the fake bakery she uses as a front) or beating on the gay kid who deals to youngsters, Parker is never less than adorable. Perhaps the strangest thing about “Weeds” is that it was created by Jenji Kohan, whose brother David created the supershitty NBC sitcoms “Will & Grace” and “Four Kings.”

    What do we get from Coaxial that we don't already get from the regular Amazon site?

    David Steinberg...did he direct "The Wrong Guy"?

    by the wrong guy

    Yep, according to IMDB, he did. Funny guy, then, I bet. That movie is the funniest film in existence. It really is.

    Weeds was great

    by incomplete gamer

    Weeds was great, enjoyed every second of it when it was on Showtime. But I'm still waiting for all of those Larry Sanders Show DVDs (beyond season 1). And please, somebody, give me Twin Peaks season 2. Can't wait to buy that Arrested Development season so I can finally get all of the episodes off of my ReplayTV. Good stuff.

    by snookeroo

    but we can't get the 60's Filmation "New Adventures of Superman"? There just ain't no justice.

    Reply to Talkback

  • I just tried digging through the site and only found a few tbers talking about it. What the hell - this is the best comedy on TV since Arrested Development, and barely a mention here. It's freaking "Friends" on crack, heroin, PCP, and your best friend's mom.

    Parker best part of weak series

    by big bad clone

    Weeds felt like so familiar each time I watched it. And I hate the stoner/loser brother-in-law, his line delivery always has this fucking breathing tick that you hear on The L Word. I'll see the new season, but the only fucking reason is Mary Louise Parker's hot ass.

    Thanks for bringing that erection to my attention. There I was in ignorant bliss, and now everytime I see that picture my gaze is drawn towards the big throbbing cock... Before I was looking at the other big cock, Kevin Nealon... Only kidding, I used to love me some Hanz and Franz...

    Brotherhood premiered last night and it already has the same street date as shows like My Name is Earl and BSG whose seasons have been over for a couple months now. Someone want to explain that one?

    how is 'Weeds' a 'live-action sitcom'?

    by newc0253

    as opposed to what? are there any sitcoms out there which aren't live-action? why not just say 'best sitcom of 2005'??

    by mbeemer

    ... and you'll get the story. Episode 11 "Tick vs. the Mole-Men" is missing. No one is sure if it's a rights issue or what, but supposedly they're going to "try" to include it in a future release.
