Preview of the Weeds finale - Is it time for the series to end?
The season five finale of Weeds, "All About My Mom," is coming up Monday night at 10 PM ET/PT on Showtime. Kevin Nealon will be hosting the finale to promote his upcoming comedy special, Kevin Nealon: Now Hear Me Out, which airs Friday, Sept. 4, at 9:30 PM ET/PT on Showtime. Get a sneak peek here. While I haven't been all that crazy about this season of Weeds, there have been a few standout episodes, and I'll miss the show. Something about the crazy life of Nancy Botwin and her clan continues to draw me in, even during what I consider the weaker seasons.
Throughout season five, TV Squad readers have been debating whether the show is still good, or whether it should take its final bow. After "Ducks & Tigers," Collin said, "It is time to cancel this disaster. Whoever thinks this is a comedy should have their head examined." After "Distinctive Horn," however, Matthew Fleigle noted, "So far this has been one of the best seasons of Weeds."
And after last week's episode, "Glue," Dave was quite adamant in his comments, saying, "You people who think that the show has to be funny really have to look back at the first season. There was a lot of serious stuff there and the reason why most people kept watching was not for the comedy, but for the progression of Nancy's drug business and how she continued to dig deeper and deeper into the hole of drug dealing."
And, oh yeah, Dave also called me "one of the most idiotic reviewers around" and then topped it off by saying I'm "dim-witted" and "dumb," and then he got mean!
In all seriousness, though, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I'd love to hear yours. Here are a few sneak peeks at Monday's finale, and please leave your thoughts about Weeds in the comments below. Do you think the show has run its course? Or is there still some life left in it?
Nancy switches to baby formula:
Not as magical as Esteban:
