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...)
"Parrish, a Christian whose wholesome good looks and morals skew more Disney than drug dealer (unlike his Weeds alter ego, Silas Botwin, a hydroponic farmer, he has never smoked pot and had to be taught how to use a pipe)"

"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)."

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."
