well, they kinda did a scorched earth strat with last season... it didn't even seem like they thought they were going to do another season based on that ending.. I thought the series was over...

The way Showtime rushed the ending of this and Californication was infuriating. Particularly Weeds. They may have even lost me. An absolutely horrific piece of television.

For me the ending of Californication was much, much worse. Driving into the sunset with the ex-wife and daughter was ridiculous.

I kind of like the idea of Weeds moving on to a new location. Agrestic (I think that was the name of the town) was getting dull. Plus it was more realistic for them to eventually get caught in one way or another.

Maybe the new season will suck, but I think it'll be better than if they stayed.

I think Californication's ending is probably going to hurt the series more, because it effectively ended the lone working dynamic of the show; i.e. Hank's drunken, longing unhappiness, but as far as being an actual piece of entertainment, the Californication finale wasn't that horrible, whereas Weeds was completely WTF.

Well said.

agreed and agreed... I don't know how Californication can possibly make another season...


Weeds.. well... I mean.. all of their plots seem rushed.... they burn through plot lines so fast, I didn't see that the finale was that out of whack with the way the series opperates. I will miss kevin nealon

Uh oh, I guess i didn't put two and two together correctly. I was hoping that they would find a place for him still. The show may go down hill without his comical genius showing up. Oh well, I will still watch it.

IMDB lists Kevin Nealon as in the episodes for season 4.
no not baxter

Season 4, who is in an out, and a possible spinoff show?

Basically no Conrad or Heylia, though the creator is talking about a spinoff show. Thats' sort of disappointing, I always liked how Heylia was the ghetto mom Nancy never had and Conrad was a funny character.

All right, I agree with the criticism but you have to ACKNOWLEDGE THE WRITER'S STRIKE...

Weeds & Clfnctn are still much better than 87% of network shows.

Last night I was invited to a screening of the 1st episode of the new season, plus a Q&A with some of the cast. We had: Elisabeth Perkins (Celia), Kevin Nealon (Doug), Justin Kirk (Andy), Alexander Gould (Shane) and Allie Grant (Isabelle). It was at the SAG foundation in Hwood and although I'm not a SAG member I got lucky that my friend was allowed a guest. So basically a room full of actors and me smile.gif

New episode was great, if anyone wants spoilers let me know but I don't want to piss off anyone...Just a few things... the title sequence with the "Little Boxes" song alone had the crowd roaring with laughter. Those guys are creative with a capital C! Albert Brooks of course doesn't dissapoint and there was even a poker reference or two.

The panel was equally hilarious, thanks to Kevin who never stops throwing out funny remarks to serious "Actors Questions? I've seen comedy shows that weren't half as funny as this.
I highly recommend tuning back in when it comes back next week.

From everything I've read about the new season, little boxes is no longer the themesong because of the change in setting this year.

Bump, Premiere is tonight.

I love this show. Caught the start of season 3 last year, and just decided to go rent seasons 1-2 then watch s3 on torrents. It is like 50x better than just about any network show. Great cast too

2nd Episode much better that the first.

Celia in prison is hilarious.

How they got that picture of Nancy and Guillermo makes no sense.

I loved the 'No you can't go with me. You just told your brother to suck your dick. That's just wierd.' line.
dapokerbum
To tell the truth, this season is very bland to me. i'm pretty bored with it. They need to get this moving a little bit more. It's almost like a new show and they are introducing everything ... trouble is it isn't a new show and they need to get more done. I don't like the previews for next week and I don't really like the dad.

It's a good thing that Nancy is hot or I might have to quit watching the show.

not as good as last year, but the poker reference tonight was hilarious
Jadaki
I thought this was the best episode so far of the season.

More Kevin Nealon = win
dapokerbum
Agreed. Kevin Nealon really brings it around. I am hoping that they are getting rid of the dad for good, because i feel he is really bringing down the show instead of adding to it. I like the scene at the end with Cilia (sp) but if I was Nancy I would let her get shot as she has done nothing but trouble her. Pot in the pool, ratting her out, getting her son in jail, stealing the car ... the list goes on. Anybody with half a mind would just let her be shot. Oh well it might make for some more comedy.

It's starting to come around. And man do i wish I could be stuck by the border in a little car with her. The things I would do to her!!
keith crime
so where is all this flirting with Andy going?

I bet they bang and regret it
dapokerbum
The show is definitly coming around now for this season!

So, is the tunnel only for drugs or is it going to be used for the transporting of illegals as well?

Yeah, I wish they killed her too. She's a really annoying character imo.

A - I thought they were going to use that stint with Andy as a springboard ... but you're right, not as much money as the drugs!

B - I don't know I kind of liked her as the drunk at war with her fat daughter, but if she keeps up with how she has been so far this season ... then yeah they should have killed her.

C - Agree 100%

15-20k per person transported. Transport say 10 in a day and start doing the math.

Shane is much better as a jaded angry smart kid than he was as a whiny troubled boy

Agreed, I was actually just remembering this scene from last night and vomited in my mouth a little bit. My wife was NOT impressed by it at all.

Also, what's with Silas ALWAYS cruising around shirtless!! Was this part of the script or did he just work out the ENTIRE time they were on break and came in to the director and said "Hey I want to never wear a shirt in any of my scenes"

One last thing. What do ya'll think of the friction between her and guillermo now. There is no way he would do anything since she has the highest protection available, but still it seems a bitter sweet deal for Nancy.

Re: Silas - They live on the border to Mexico by the beach, why would anyone ever wear a shirt? Also that chick he is banging is a total MILF.

Something is going to cause Nancy problems with G now. I can't spell his name, so its just G for me.

eh i was rubbing one out to those pics too

who were the two gay guys - the dea dudes?

Yea the head of the DEA that was hitting on Celia before and turned he down this episode because he said he was dating someone. It was the other agent in his office.

I lived in Hawaii for 8 years when I actually was young and could show off a little and I never went shirtless in my house. I can understand when they are outside ... but come on gimme a break when they are in the house and he is just chillin without a shirt. And yes I agree about the MILF, OMG where were those women when i was growing up. I would proudly bang her all day and all night.


The whole Guillermo thing is going to be huge I think. Remember the fat black dude talked to Nancy about him and she assured him it wouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't be surprised if they killed him off at the end of this season.

how many eps before she bangs the mayor of tijauana?
