Best Weeds episode of the year. Funny dialouge ... even had cool social media references throughout the show. Apple, AT&T, twitter, youtube (via http://friendfeed.com/mirthna...)
There's a green one and a pink one, and a blue one and a yellow one, and they're all made out of ticky tacky, and they all look just the same.

Flash mob was kind of silly but funny at first.
- Amani
Great season opener. Abusive Quinn was great, everyone laughing at the Celia ransom demands, and the Botwin bros fight all hilarious. Wonder if they're going somewhere with the flash mob stuff, or if it was just a happy moment for Nancy.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I will agree it was a great season opener. Had me laughing all the way through. I do miss Conrad though.

Okay, so wow. I did not expect that entirely gruesome end to the show on Monday. A sander? And the other characters have so much going on: Doug's disgust with Andy and the girl, Shane getting high with the two freaky girls.. Wow, just wow.
"According to Jenji, it was time to split Nancy and Conrad up for good, but she isn't done with Conrad's story. She's thinking of taking those characters and slotting them into spinoff, specifically one "that takes place in a pot club...I'd shoot it sort of fake reality-show style. It could be pretty like The Hills!""

"If we smoked real weed, we wouldn't get anything done over here. Stunt weed is sort of what you would smoke if you went out and bought rose-flavored cigarettes, or cinnamon cigarettes or clove. It is a combination of herbs that don't get you stoned. Although if you shoot all day with it you do get sort of lightheaded.""

"The premiere episode averaged 1.3 million total viewers at 10 p.m. Monday, surpassing "Dexter's" second-season debut (1 million) to become the most-watched season premiere of a Showtime series on record (Nielsen didn't begin reporting Showtime ratings separate from Showtime Plex until 2004)."

I have to say: I little underwhelmed. But. It's only the beginning, and the new setting and characters have a lot of potential.

Yea, it is almost a reboot of the series so first few episodes are bound be to a bit slow.

I've been a little underwhelmed since they wrote the Lupita character out. This is more down the "let's make the show more serious and less funny" detour the show has been on for a while. I wish they'd go back to "funny".

The suburbs are left behind, but the show remains a delectable trifle."When "Weeds" premiered on Showtime, it seemed the quintessential suburban satire: Widowed stay-at-home mom accidentally becomes pot dealer and finds her inner gangsta amid the manicured lawns and granite-countered hypocrisy of a Southern California planned community."
- Robert Seidman
I've been impressed at how with every season the main plot keeps getting darker yet the writers still find comedy in it all. The first season was mostly hijinks. Season 2 things started to get serious. By season 3 the darkness was everywhere.

"Weeds" marks Brooks' first return to series TV since he made short films for the inaugural 1975-76 season of "Saturday Night Live," excepting a handful of voice-over turns on "The Simpsons." (He also had voice roles in "The Simpsons" movie and in "Finding Nemo.")
