Tonight marked the beginning of the third season of Weeds on Showtime. It won't take the place of John From Cincinatti, but it is one of the best shows on television right now. Kevin Nealon plays a perpetually stoned accountant. Mary-Louise Parker plays a widowed mother who makes ends meet by selling "Milf Weed" (as Snoop calls it). The soundtrack is incredible; tonight's episode featured a song by Ween that I have heard on Left of Center recently, but it could never be played on terrestrial radio in a million years. The show has much more to offer than one may originally suspect. It's a hilarious social commentary about the cookie-cutter lives middle America is encouraged to lead, and the alternate underground many prefer. What is the American dream after all?
