Weeds is the funniest show on television. I'd never seen it before, took a chance on the series 1 & 2 boxed set from play and am now a diehard fan.

The characters are warm and funny. Who could fail to take Doug Wilson to their heart? Hell, even Ceila Hodes, superbitch is entertaining. The writing is sharp, but doesn't feel like its been turned out by a big studio writers room, pumping out one-liners aka the Friends model. Instead the comedy is dark, but deeply delicious.

The only thing, and this isn't really a criticism is that episodes are only 30 minutes long (or 22-25mins in reality on DVD). Which doesn't give you many entertainment hours in a 15 episode run. I end up wanting more, which I suppose is the hallmark of a good series.

So Showtime. Keep up the good work, any chance of doubling the series length? Or maybe changing the format from 30 - 60mins?

If you've never seen or heard of Weeds, give it a go. Adults only because of sex and drug themes, but well worth the investment.
