It's mindless entertainment. Definitely not on entourage's level though

in my humble opinion it goes down hill after 1. whenever you see jon lithgow, that was my last season.

in seinfeld news, heidi swedberg (susan) was "difficult" to work with

Just got done with the Lithgow season. It was pretty meh, but I did like how he killed Dexter's wife. Season 5 is the Julia Stiles year, and while I like the direction it's going, I hate that Dexter's stuck with his infant son. I'll watch all the way through season 8 I'm sure.

Elizabeth Banks. Damn.

It's weird seeing H Jon Benjamin's voice come out of his own face.

5.01 was the jump the shark moment for me. The show went from Quinn having his GF kill herself to wanting a relationship with Deb in the span of like, 12 hours. Stuff like this is a clear signal of a writing team that just wants to make something happen rather than write the characters to flow organically with the situations they live in. Season 7's stuff with Ray Stevenson's character was good, but that season ended up taking a nose dive at the very end. Season 8 never recovered anywhere from that moment and then punched itself in the face at the end because - why the [expletive] not?

Just started watching Weeds. I know, I'm like a decade late to the party. It's okay. I'm into Season 2 now though, and is the show ever going to reveal why this suburban widow decides to start selling weed?

another show i gave up on. i really enjoyed the first season. i think i stopped after season 2...

i think this is the basic reason for why she starts selling, unless something comes up in later seasons
Nancy starts to sell marijuana to maintain her upper middle-class lifestyle originally provided by her late husband's structural engineering salary.

I watched all of it. It kind of devolves into a silly popcorn drama so dont expect anything emmy worthy but I was entertained pretty much the whole way through.
