WEEDS!! RESCUE!! SMART!! OFFICE!! LIFE!! MEDIUM!! DUCKMAN!! WHO!! HULK!! MANNIX!! HercVault!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
Weeds’ longest (15-episode) season 
was the one that let hard-drinking Celia Hodes (Elizabeth Perkins) in on the secret the rest of Agrestic, Calif., already knew: her widowed suburban MILF pal Nancy Botwin (Mary Louise Parker) is the town’s newest marijuana kingpin. The season also featured Zooey Deshanel (very briefly) as a kidnapping ex-girlfriend, one of the Olsen twins as a dope-dispensing Jesus freak, and Matthew Modine as a horny development mogul with a bad dye job. Loved the Christian stuff generally and young Shane Botwin’s brush with Majestic’s pro-life zealot summer school in particular.
And here’s a trend one hopes we see more of: As I type this, the DVD version is $25.99; the superior Blu-ray version is only $24.95.
Rescue Me’s fourth season saw Teddy get out of prison, Colleen start boning a musician, Jerry battle despair, Mike fall for a big-boned lady named Latrina, and Sean and Maggie dealing with marriage. Tommy sold his newborn and impersonated his Huey Lewis-lookin’ dead cousin. Co-creators Peter Tolan (“The Larry Sanders Show”) and Denis Leary are credited with the teleplays of eight of the season’s 13 episodes. Recurring guest stars included Gina Gershon, Jennifer Esposito, Susan Sarandon and Howard Stern sidekick Artie Lange.
Buyer beware! Get Smart: The Complete Series is not the entire 138-episode 1965-1970 NBC/CBS series; it’s the terrible 7-episode 1995 Fox sitcom that starred Andy Dick as offspring Zach Smart. Dick would emigrate to “NewsRadio,” which launched the same year.
Mannix was created by Richard Levinson and William Link, who also created “Columbo,” and developed by Bruce Geller, who created “Mission: Impossible.” (“Mannix’s” theme music was written by “Impossible” composer Lalo Schifrin.) The first, 1967 season was about a hard-boiled Armenian-American P.I. who worked for a huge Los Angeles detective agency that employed a “computer” to solve cases. Joe Mannix, one gathers, would routinely outwit the machine. In all subsequent seasons, Mannix daringly employed a black secretary and worked out of his own agency while the boss character played by Joseph Campenella disappeared -- all of which may explains why the first season of episodes hitting DVD today was never part of the show’s syndication package. Lead Mike Connor won an Emmy for the part and the show was nominated for a best drama Emmy twice. It ran from 1967 to 1975, anchoring CBS’ 10 p.m. Saturday timeslot, the one many still associate with Carol Burnett, for years. I’ve not watched one episode ever.

seasons 1 & 2 DVD's are in the top ten must haves in my opinion. SO good for repeat viewing! I can't WAIT to have season 3 so I can watch the dance off over and over...in one scene, Charlie's friend spikes energy bars with sedatives during a dance til you drop competition. Charlie finds out, but keeps eating them anyway because, as he says, "I can handle my sedatives, bro".cut to 20 minutes later, and, well...here's the youtube link to what happens...fucking HILARIOUS...
http://tinyurl.com/28t3f6

I just finished seasons one through four and was completely blown away. I can't believe how tight the scripts are and how well the acting is. Sopranos, X-Files and Battlestar are all fantastic but none are consistently as strong in every episode as this one.
-
There is not a 'It's about fucking time!' loud enough.
-
I've been waiting on that one ever since they started putting TV shows on DVD.
-
You should always have your doctor check your Lenticular Package. "Turn your head and cough."
-
Complete episodes can be watched at hulu.com. But I will still get the DVD. Season 3 highlights: Love what they've done with Frank, and the LSD-trip in the McPoyle's trailer with Charlie as dancing green man was priceless. But the best: "Day Man" song. Can't get the tune out of my head!!!
-
Bernice: I didn't know you spoke Cherokee!
100% bought'd. -
But I want the Blu-ray discs...Frak!
-
Ahhh, who cares...
-
That means one of those gimmicky packages that has one picture if you look at it from one angle, and a different picture if you look at it from another angle.
-
Ok whats the deal with the freak out montage whenever they talk about Brian? What is that from? And why did they have to do it in every episode? Also Big Bang Theory, one of the worst shows ever.
-
...and I can't stop laughing at it.
oh and btw...when in the holy hell is "Journeyman" coming out!!? -
because he beat up Andy Dick.
-
I think there needs to be a few more links to the videos. There are not enough. I only had to page down 100 times, not the usual 230923090349.
-
it's a show I've always felt would work so much better as an hour-long. i remember watching the first season and, especially in the finale, thinking that. the scene near the end where nancy gathers all the recurring characters from the first year to start her own operation should have been epic, but with only five hours of development, it was just "oh, that's pretty cool". also the reveal that she just fucked a federal agent, wouldn't that have been a tremendously better WTF moment if the show had developed that relationship a bit more? anyway, i still very much enjoy the show, but i wondered if anyone else out there felt the same?
-
That is one disturbing cover for "Rescue Me."
-
The Spaced dvds have a feature called the 'Homage-O-Meter' which lets you know which movie they're referencing, such as 'Close Encounters Of The Third Kind' when the housemates don their glasses and walk into the blinding light of Amber's party. Hopefully you'll be able to find out the answer to your question using that feature, or alternatively, they might mention it during the commentary. Good luck!
-
Did they really do a montage of Brian in *every* episode? Which one do you mean? The one where he pricks his finger at the end as the camera spins around him? I'm sure they only did that two or three times over the course of both series, but I could be wrong. I bet my wife will know the answer to this one...
-
I agree to a degree. I just watched seasons 1 & 2 last week, and it would be nice if the eps were at least 30 minutes long. Some ended at about the 26 minute mark. But I think the half hour format works just fine.BTW, any series that makes Kevin Nealon funny is a fuckin' miracle. Can't wait to see season 3, after the "Tarantino-esqe" end to season 2.
-
for those of us on crappy computers, all those pictures are bringing our computers to a crawl. Can you limit it to under 20 for the future?
-
coming out in September. Seeing Duckman up there is great.
-
It was a little eggargeration on my part. I am talking about when they show Brian going crazy while painting and there is loud music playing. They just seemed to do it a lot throughout the part of the series I saw, I don't think I've seen the whole series. Maybe just one season.
-
That was a bit of an eggargeration (sic) on your behalf then, wasn't it? There are some jokes that run through the spine of the series, but they certainly never over-do anything. If anything, it's purely for continuity. I highly recommend you buy the region 1 release and judge the show over the course of both series. Enjoy!

Charlie Murphy-So season 1 of Weeds only had 10 episodes? Is my math correct? Never seen the show.Is it worth checking out? Thanks...
-
I've been hearing about that show for awhile now. Glad to see it's finally being released here in the states.
-
just 10 episodes, but definitely worth your time. It's rarely laugh out loud funny, but it's plenty engaging. the cast is great, the writing's pretty sharp, and the theme song has a way of making you hum along. definitely check it out.
-
Thanks for the info! I've gotten some show recommendations from Herc & others on the board and have never been dissapointed! Looking forward to watching this.
-
Three shows for example...How I Met Your Mother,Gilmore Girls(thanks Herc.I had to turn in my man card for that!),Big Bang Theory.
-
i kept meaning to check that out on dvd, then last week i burned through the first two seasons in two and a half days. really surprisingly great tv.
-
sorry about the huge spoilers in my earlier post. they were just to make a point, but if you're planning on watching weeds soon, i hope you have a very short memory span because i literally gave away the two big cliffhangers from year one.
-
Don't worry...I do have a short memory.Once I see Mary-Louis Parker my brain turns to mush anyways...thanks again.
-
Gotta love Barney...

This is to those who has bought the box. How many of you have messed up sets? My discs are scratched up (already made an exchange). On top of that many of the sets had loose discs. I gave mine a good shake, nothing. When I opened it, I had a disc explosion; two popped out. I know that this set is environmental friendly: the discs holders were made from recycled water bottles and the case is recycled paper. I'm not happy here. The box looks flimsy and the DVD holders look very cheap. This better not be a trend. I'm cool with recycled bottles (can or plastic), paper, cars (melted to make new ones) and such. But DVD packaging? NO.
-
Latrina? Is that a women's restroom?
-
A strong victory for Republicans today: George Lucas has come out in support of Barack Obama. Combine that with the fact that Harry came out to support Barack Obama, and the Republicans have a sure win in November!
-
sweeeeeeet
-
They should replace that "What the $#@!!&^@! you starin' at?" on the cover with "It's about @&^%#$#!!&*! time!" instead.
-
Man.
-
inserts? Always thought that was the funniest part of the show.
-
Mannix was Chuck Norris before Chuck Norris was cool.
-
leave Leary alone. rescue me is gr8
-
Those word haunted me until CANNON came along, in which case it was CANNON: A QUINN MARTIN PRODUCTION. Awesome. TONIGHT'S EPISODE: THE CASE OF THE MELTED MAN.
-
Is the woman of a thousand expressions--all of them the same. Her eyes freak me out.
-
Mary Louise Parker is a babe of goddess like standards plus she sells marijuana cakes so please do shut the fuck up before I cock slap you to death.
