Showtime’s WEEDS Gets Season Four!!

I am – Hercules!!

Showtime has given “Weeds” an order for a 13-episode fourth season that audiences will inhale next summer, Writers Guild permitting.

This is not a giant surprise, as the Mary Louise Parker marijuana saga is Showtime’s highest-rated comedy. (It’s also far and away the premium channel’s best.) Showtime is currently transmitting the last few episodes of season three.

    Love Weeds. Along with Californication and Dexter. Three of the best things on teevee. All Showtime. That channel has its original programming shit together now in a great way.

    I love this show.

    by the visco kid

    MLP is cute and sexy, the writing it top-notch (even if blatantly Liberal), and the cast all delivers great performances. I am just bummed that I have missed most of the last few episodes. Damn MPAA/RIAA or whoever it is that took my torrent search sites away from me.

    Question, are they ever going to bring back Celia's oldest daughter? You know, the one who was dating Nancy's oldest sun, before she got shipped away to private school.

    I hate it when characters disappear and are never mentioned again.

    Dexter

    by han ol' buddy

    I love Weeds but Dexter is the bomb. Plus, the added surprise of Jaime Murray as his sponsor was awesome, especially since she keeps getting all kinds of naked. All those seasons of Hustle spent crushing on her paid off...

    Mo' Dexter

    by r l s

    I agree that Dexter is awesome. Weeds is great, sure, but Dexter manages to ring all the bells: humor, drama, sexiness, creepiness....and Debra is strangely hot as well.

    Didn't want to like Weeds, just can't stand Kevin Nealon...

    Someday there should be a show...

    by zerocorpse

    That stars all the characters who just disappeared from other shows with no explanation or future mentions...
    Chuck from Happy Days
    Donna's little sister from That 70's Show
    Older daughter from Weeds
    . . .and so on.
    Weeds is one of the best shows on, and they'd damn well better keep going. Too much is left to cover! Yeah, I like this show a lot more than The Office.

    Weeds is perfect for what it is...

    by greatczarsghost

    Weeds is a half hour light adult comedy and as such is done to perfection. Most of the characters are likable/lovable and the show has a feeling that everyone involved is having as much fun with the audience is. All this and Mary Louise Parker in those black panties... . oh man.. . PS I could say the exact same thing about This season of Californcation (and Dexter which is genius) except for the black panties.

    Weeds is great, but...

    by danielkurland

    It doesn't seem too much like a comedy these days. It's gotten incredibly serious, which is fine. I am slightly frustrated though that as soon as Parker gets out of some financial situation, she's immediately put in another one, and each episode merely feels like a piece of a story, as opposed to something on its own. Dexter has been so damn good this year though, and I am loving the dynamic between Dexter and Lilah. Showtime is far better than HBO at this point.

    IMHO, Weeds is the best show on TV right now and in my all-time top ten.

    I love Weeds, but...

    by _maltheus_

    Dexter is a way better show. I wasn't expect season 2 to be much good (so many shows slump in their 2nd), but I've been pleasantly surprised so far. I'd say it and Pushing Daisies are the best two shows currently on the air. I love em both so much, that they make up for all the other bad on TV.
    Weeds is great, but they've gotten too heavy with all the drama. Nancy went from a concerned, somewhat careful mom, to a reckless, should have been busted/killed long ago, big time dealer. And in this season, all the characters seem disconnected somehow. I still like it, I just wish it would focus more on fun and less on the darkness. I've got Dexter for my darkness.

    Herc doesn't watch Dexter, so y'know...

    by crayon

    can't really add that to the equation.

    That said, even though this season has been pretty fucking uneven, I'll take it over Dexter, if even only for less hammy actors.

    Love Dexter, Love Weeds.

    by s00p3rm4n

    Seriously? Are you kidding? Weeds and Dexter are two of the best written shows on television, bar none. Dexter's certainly better written, but certainly nowhere near as funny. Weeds has nearly everything on cable beat for sheer ha-ha factor. Californication's pretty good too.

    I do wonder this, though: didn't I hear that Mary Louise Parker was tired of the show? I mean, Jenji Kohan and she have always supposedly had this hate-hate relationship. Oh well, to this I say YAY.

    Shane has lost his mind

    by haggardatbest

    Talking to his dead father? Going ape-shit over Pittsburgh? Not blinking an eye over his bloody brother? This kid gets more awesome every year. I didn't think he could top yelling "There are motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane" at his graduation.
