Weeds Season Premiere - Few Laughs, Many Concerns

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.

TV Wrapup - Week 47 2007

What? You missed one of your favorite shows? What the hell is wrong with you? Good thing the AudioShocker crew has your back.

Dexter - Dexter gets cut, Lila is a psycho, Deb and Lundy get frisky in the kitchen, and Doakes goes all special forces at Dex’s condo.

The Boondocks - Grandad invites a beautiful woman for the weekend. Too bad shes an unstable psycho kung-fu killer and blows herself up.

Weeds - Season Finale. Majestic is on fire, MK really is a nutjob, and Nancy decides it is time to move on. I am not sure how I feel about this.

How I Met Your Mother - It’s Slapsgiving, Lily cooks, and Robin/Ted bump uglies again.

Heroes - Uhm. Ok… Parkman learns the darker side of his powers, Hiro realizes he can’t play God, Noah bites the dust, and Elle gets a taste of her own medicine.

House - BRING ME THE THONG OF LISA CUDDY! Also, what is with 13 and the suspenders? I dig that.

30 Rock - returns 11/29

Metalocalypse - Dr. Rockzo tries to get clean, Murderface writes a song, and Toki loves clowns

To summarize: Happy Thanksgiving - try not to burn down your suburb, bone your ex-girlfriend, or go on a date with a kung-fu killer wolf bitch from Myspace.

TV Wrapup - Week 46 2007

What? You missed one of your favorite shows? What the hell is wrong with you? Good thing the AudioShocker crew has your back.

Dexter - Dex and Lila do a little B&E, Doakes loses it, Lundy plays some Chopin, and Deb gives him some sugar. Oh, and Lila might be batshit crazy. Does Lundy remind you of Robocop without his helmet on?

The Boondocks - returns 11/19

Weeds - Shane needs a shrink, Silas sees the crime doc, Nancy buys some protection, and Celia pays a visit to the crooked accountant.

How I Met Your Mother - The cast has annoying habits, Marshal passes the bar, and a dog poops on a baby.

Heroes - FINALLY! A little background. Kristen bell is a hottest sadist, Peter remembers the past, and his mom is officially a bitch.

House - The Elephant man has heartblock, 13 saves the day, oh and hot CIA doc gets the axe.

30 Rock - Liz thinks she lives next to a terrorist, Jack hooks up with a sexy Democrat, and Kenneth needs $2500 STAT! I enjoy this show a lot.

Metalocalypse - Dethklok does fashion. The band is fat, ‘popsicles are like eating water’, and the leather is people.

To summarize: Agrestic has a booming service economy, being hot isn’t enough at Princeton Plainsboro, and Kristen Bell is still cute.

TV Wrapup - Week 45 2007

Fellow Shockers, ‘work’, an ‘impounded car’, a ‘DUI’, and ‘lolcatshit’ are not good excuses for missing an entire week of TV. So quit your job, dip into your savings, hire a good lawyer, and restring your tennis racket, because the AudioShocker Crew is about to put it down.

Dexter - Oh Snaps! Lila blows off Dex’s steam, Masuka digs shemale porn, and Deb continues to have daddy issues with the Fed.

The Boondocks - Thuggnificent moves into Woodcrest and starts a rap beef with Granddad, Riley has his first Incredible Hulk, and Tom Dubois continues to be a bit of a douchebag. ‘I SPITS HOT FIRE!’ Consider watching Metalocalypse if you are into Adult Swim stuff.

Weeds - Mary Kate isn’t gone afterall, Celia get ill with the Louisville, Shane sees dead people, Doug repurposes a crucifix, and Nancy gets some ink. Personally, I’m excited for next week - Guillermo is coming back!

How I Met Your Mother - Marshall wants to move out, Lily gets busted, and Barney has his own open house. New York lesson #5: abbreviated neighborhood names can be misleading.

Heroes - Hiro blows shit up, Noah (HRG) torches the future, Nikki channels The Shining, Peter meets Adam, and Parkman hashes out his daddy issues.

House - House helps a hot G-woman, Jungle Doctor thinks it’s Polio, and there is one less spot up for grabs. “I know how to kill a man with my thumb.”

30 Rock - Ken has a party, Ceri invites her hot cousins, Greenzo (Schwimmer) stands up for Mother Gaia, and Al Gore has Eco-sense!

To summarize: I spits hot fire. Act like you know.

TV Wrapup - Week 44 2007

In case your Tivo fucked up, the AudioShocker crew has this week’s TV highlights:Weeds

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?
