Smokin "Weeds" in the Summer of 2006

Showtime - Announcements

Showtimes entertaining series "Weeds" has been renewed for a second season that will air next summer and have 12 episodes.

WEEDS, a single-camera comedy that exposes the dirty little secrets that lie behind the pristine lawns and shiny closed doors of homes in the fictional town of Agrestic, California. Parker stars as a suburban mom who resorts to selling weed to support her family after her husband unexpectedly dies. Perkins stars as the uptight head of the PTA and Nealon plays a city councilman and one of Parker's regular customers. Parker's character finds unusual support and solace from an African American family as she begins to pursue her burgeoning business. Produced by Lions Gate Television in association with Tilted Productions, WEEDS is executive produced by Jenji Kohan ("Friends").

People are saying that if Fox cancels Arrested Development Showtime may pick it up and these two shows may be siblings. If you haven't seen this show make sure you pick it up on DVD when it comes out, until then check out
The Weeds Sountrack. It includes some great tracks from The New Pornographers, The Mountain Goats, and more.
