Weeds Is Ending This Year

Showtime announced today that Season 8 will be the last for Weeds. David Nevins, the president of programming for Showtime said, “There were two shows, Weeds and Dexter, that really got Showtime taken seriously for cutting-edge original programming.” And that he’s right about. I never watched Showtime regularly before those series came on. And now with Nurse Jackie, Californication, Shameless, and others Showtime has become a destination for me. Sadly, I think Weeds has become one of the weaker series on the network, although it’s still good. Sad to see it go, but I guess all good things must come to an end!

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    You know, I tried watching this show, but it seemed like it ran out of steam in episode 3. It’s like the writers and creators came up with a great idea but had no idea how to follow-through and execute it. “Hey! A show about a suburban widow who has to sell weed to get by!” “Awesome! And then what happens?!” “Uhhhhhhhh . . .” I just couldn’t do it. It didn’t help that every character is a cliche. I love Mary-Louise Parker, but this show was completely meh.
