The only real problem I have with Weeds is that the intro song "Little Boxes" is, fundamentally, one of the most annoying things ever written. Even when Elvis Costello or...Engelbert Humperdinck is singing it.
That and I'm not really enjoying Nancy's recent sexaholism. She sure is putting the 'ho' in Showtime. Am I right?
Anyway, it's a good thing Mary Louise Parker and Kevin Nealon are so good. Who can argue with lines like:
It's a weed wonderland, Nancy. It's like Amsterdam only you don't have to visit the Anne Frank house and pretend to be all sad and shit.
And while Dana Delany isn't in any real danger, Elizabeth Perkins is hotter than she ever was in Big.
Something about that line reminds me of the Real World parody on Mr. Show, where they visit Anne Frank’s house.
“Dude, your landord’s a real Naz…”
Great sketch.
Oh, and “Beanbag!”
MLP is definitely the paragon of somebody much hotter at 40 than at an awkward 25 (Grand Canyon, Fried Green Whatevers).
Something about that line reminds me of the Real World parody on Mr. Show, where they visit Anne Frank’s house. As Bob Odenkirk says on the commentary, “Mr. Show’s one and only attempt at drama.”
