I caught the season premiere of Weeds yesterday on Showtime, and I hope to God they bring back the laughs this season. Since last season Nancy has been in another world. She is totally out of touch - I think she’s getting high on her own supply - and it is affecting the show. I was sad to see U-Turn die last year, but Guillermo is the best thing to happen to the show in 2 seasons.
I do like how Doug, Dean, Sanjay, and Isabelle are teaming up against Celia. That motley crew might seem a little 3 stooges, but it is way better than anything else we got out of season 3. If the writer’s make them the B-plot, it may have to be as the comic relief for all the tense situations Nancy is sure to end up in.
The introduction of Andy and Judah’s father also has me worried. I am afraid he could end up as an Albee / Dale character like in Big Love and The Ritches. In general - introducing new family members spells trouble. Andy’s introduction went over well because he’s such a cutup, but this father thing could go south quickly.
I’ll give it two more episodes.
In case your Tivo fucked up, the AudioShocker crew has this week’s TV highlights:
30 Rock - returns 11/08
Dexter - Lila drops trou, Dex confronts someone from his past, and Deb is the most paranoid woman ever. Then again, she was engaged to a serial killer.
Weeds - Mary-Kate is gone, Doug spills the bongwater, Andy continues to get in trouble, Nancy nearly cuts a bitch, and huge spoiler: Conrad catches another case of Jungle Fever.
Scrubs - Does anyone really care after last week’s abysmal premiere? We quit this show.
House - The patient is a mirror, House thinks 13 is hot, Kal Penn hates hot tubs, Foreman won’t leave, no one gets fired, and Cuddy has a nice rack.
Heroes - Horn Rim gets gangsta, Hiro steals a kiss, Nikki looks hotter than last season, Peter has to save the world again (big suprise), and did we mention that Sylar is basically the world’s biggest super-asshole?
How I Met Your Mother - Ted is a pornstar, Jon Cho gueststars, and Lilly stress-shops. Robin and Barney kind of ride the pines this ep. Not a stellar episode, but way better than last week.
The Boondocks - Stinkmeaner returns from Hell and takes over Tom’s body while Grandad discovers Myspace. ‘What’s really good?’ Not this episode. Special appearance by Ghostface Killah. Homie does WAY to many cameos.
To summarize: Jon Cho, Kal Penn, and Ghostface were all on TV this week - could life get any better?
Heroes - Hiro blows shit up, Noah (HRG) torches the future, Nikki channels The Shining, Peter meets Adam, and Parkman hashes out his daddy issues.
