Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing!
I bought this DVD on a whim and I LOVED IT! I went through both discs in 2-days and I have been going back to watch them again. I have yet to see seasons 2 and 3 but I can't wait to see what happens next! Very edgy and keeps you laughing... Mary Louise Parker's character is amazing as well.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Weeds - Season One
Weeds - Season One I laughted until I cryed. I just couldn't believe I was seeing this, but it was funny and sad at the same time. I can't wait to get the second season.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Addicting
This series came highly recommended by co-workers...I was not dissappointed. Days after finishing this I purchased the 2nd Season..which I have heard is even better!! cant' wait to watch.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Won me over
My initial reaction to Weeds was that it stunk. Quite frankly, the pilot episode isn't good. The characters spoke unnaturally, the scenes dragged on, and it was utterly charmless. Overall, it felt like everyone was trying too hard to be super edgy and shocking. On the advice of a friend, though, I gave the show another chance, and I had to admit that the second episode had me a little curious to see what would happen next. By the third episode, I was hooked.

It's difficult to characterize this show, in that its episodes are a half-hour each, but there's as much, if not more, drama than "comedy" here - though in the post-Sopranos world, the distinction has become blurred, which is great for a show like this. There are definitely some big laughs along the way, but once the show settles in and finds its rhythm, Weeds starts building real conflicts and character-driven stories, whether they have comedic aspects or not. And the main story arcs have some really strong momentum: it's not often that the final scene of a "sitcom" gets you rushing out to see the next season.

To me, Weeds is at its best when Mary Louise-Parker is taught the various ways in which her industry works: the business model, the economics, the dangers, etc. It's important that a show based mainly on one central character has an actress that can pull off the ranges of emotion required, and I think Parker does this well.

Like all Showtime shows that I've seen (except It's Garry Shandling's Show - thank goodness), Weeds indulges in too much graphic sex, though it's not on the level of something like The Tudors. Sometimes it works for the plot; sometimes it's just gratuitous.

Reflecting back, my only wish for this season was that it had had the pilot it deserved, but of course it's better to start poorly and then get better than to start off well and get worse. So kudos to Weeds for a strong first season. I think anyone who's enjoyed other uncompromising cable-based shows will find a lot to enjoy here.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - No weed killer required
Amazing show!
All I can say is thank GOD for Pay TV in America so the boundaries of what is correct can be pushed.
Good to see good old American capitalism at work.
Great cast, very funny, Americans starting to revel in quirky characters.

Sun in Trouble

Sun Microsystems has announced plans to cut between 5,000 and 6,000 jobs — that's between 15 and 18 percent of its workforce.

"It blamed the cuts on the global economic downturn, but I think that like many other companies, Sun is using the downturn as an excuse for what were pre-existing problems, foretold by its stock price, which seems to be in an unending swoon," suggests GigaOM's Om Malik.

"How much has Sun spent to develop Solaris or Java?" asks InfoWorld's Neil McAllister. "How much must it continue to invest in maintaining other products, which, despite being open source, have no appreciable development community? To say these products are not loss leaders suggests something akin to Hollywood accounting."

The answer? "Spin off Java," McAllister added in a later post. "Just get rid of it — farm it out to an industry consortium and let the companies that depend upon it manage it..."

More here from CNET News ... more here from the Guardian ... more here from ZDNet ... more here from TG Daily ... and the press release is here.
