OK I've become totally hooked on this series on Showtime:



Weeds

The characters and writing are great. It won an Emmy last year and this year is nominated for several. Plot summary:

After her husband's unexpected death and subsequent financial woes, suburban mom Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) embraces a new profession: the neighborhood pot dealer. As it seems like everyone secretly wants what she's selling -- even city councilman Doug Wilson (Kevin Nealon) -- Nancy is faced with keeping her family life in check and her enterprise a secret from her best friend/PTA president, Celia Hodes (Elizabeth Perkins).

You can view a trailer here.

It was released on DVD yesterday (July 11). Here it is on Amazon. My local cable system also has the season 1 available on demand (Showtime). I think the season 2 starts airing in August. This year it was nominated for these Emmys:

  • Outstanding Casting For A Comedy Series
  • Outstanding Directing For A Comedy Series
  • Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing For A Comedy Series
  • Outstanding Main Title Design
  • Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series (Elizabeth Perkins)
Last year it won for best actress, I believe.
