Weeds

For those of you have not had the pleasure of tuning into Showtime's new-ish series "Weeds," do it this minute. The second season is available on-demand for those of you lucky enough to have it (I catch up on Season 2 while babysitting, since I don't have cable - for the best really), and the first season you can rent on DVD.

It's hilarious, edgy, dark, wacky - and follows a pot-dealing suburban widow on her quest to keep her family thriving with her business.

Mary Louise Parker carries the show brilliantly, but the ensemble cast is key. If Elizabeth Perkins does not get an Emmy nod for this show, there is something wrong. Kevin Nealon is great as a major jack-ass pothead.

I really can't say enough - if you're a fan of Entourage, The Office, Little Britain, Arrested Development, hit it. It's more twisted, but great satire and really smart writing.

Run...don't walk, RUN and watch this show! I fucking LOVE this show like I love coffee. And vodka. And Kate Spade sample sales.
