showtime's new series weeds looks insane. i love mary-louise parker, kevin nealon not so much. i caught the "making of" special about it the other night after a mini-marathon of Fat Actress and QAF. it starts in august and looks like it might be the perfect blend of funny, sad and messed up. a widowed mother in the suburbs selling drugs to her neighbors in an effort to provide for her two young kids. i can't wait.
