I could give a shit about this one, especially when that cookie cutter CBS show beat Curb. I'll probably give my vote to Court on this one but we'll see.

(61) How I Met Your Mother


vs.

(29) Weeds


Voting ends Monday 11/5

[williamssl]

Hey Dev - guess what? I'm throwing a vote your way and we don't even have to do tradey tradey for it.

[creepy]

I think I'm going to have to vote for The Mother one because I just don't think I can vote for a show that has a Mother selling dope.

I've never seen it and I'm sure there's a "Great reason" for her doing so, but c'mon..............Really?.............


MTA: Plus, is that Kevin Nealon? That makes up my mind more than moms who sell the wheezy.

[DevSop]

Sweet, keep the Mother loving going. Even if I do think I'd enjoy Weeds if I watched it. Mother is in the top 3 sitcoms on television right now...including the HORRIBLE curb.

[Jack Quinn]

I voted Weeds

[Courtney]

Thanks Moose and come on, please give Weeds more votes!

And to answer Creepy's pseudo-question, she sells weed because her husband died. She couldn't support herself and her two children with no job skills so she started selling.

And here's one of my favorite clips from the current season. Nancy's brother-in-law Andy wants to get out of the Army Reserves and has some blackmail. There's also a very snide comment about A-Rod for you baseball fans.

Andy vs. The Army

Welcome to the real world. We could end poverty and possibly world hunger if everyone that had no skills could start sellin' weed!


Can't support that. And isn't one of the Olsen sluts in that?

[Lucky]

Never seen an episode of either show. So stuck.

I tend not to judge my sitcoms on my political or moral beliefs. So that's out.

I refuse to vote trade on principle.

Guess its back to the old standbye. Willow and that other ok girl vs Mary Louise Parker? Dunno. I'll let Dev or someone else influence me.

You've never met an adult who sold weed before? What, you think all weed slangers are teenagers with no kids?

[creepy]

I wouldn't vote for a show, a comedy, that's apparently OK with a Mom selling dope to feed her kids. Negative message and all.

And every drug dealer I've ever known or heard of was adult, so that has nothing to do with it.

And really, a Mom selling dope because she never acquired any skills? That's OK in these times?.....................Really?...................

Please. If you're voting just based on hotness, Mary Louise Parker >>>>> all the girls on Mother put together. Granted, Hannigan is hot... but that other chick on the show is barely ok. On the other hand, Parker is the fucking milf to end all milfs.

You already did. Last round.

No one's saying it's OK, but I think a lot of us would do some pretty crazy things if put in a desperate situation. And I know a lot of women who would be S.O.L. if something happened to their husbands.

I don't condone selling weed especially when the only weed dealers I've met are punk-asses who don't want to get real jobs. But don't judge a television show, its characters, or its creator just because you think you've got the moralistic high ground.

[creepy]

Since I have not seen the show and do not know the context, I'll refrain from further comment shut up now.




And I did vote for it last round. It was more of a vote for you and a vote against 30 Rock than a vote for Weeds.

[Lucky]

Seems like you're making a kinda quick stand on something I presume you don't have much info on. I mean, I personally don't care but is presuming the show is sending some kinda pro-drug message really fair? I mean, if half of the show is devoted to the mother's angst over the moral compromises she's making is that better? If she worries about the sort of example she's setting for her kids and how she'll deal with her own kids' desire to mess with drugs? Or if the show just basically paints this all as a bad thing like many shows do? I mean its a sitcom as best as I can figure. And its got a weird premise. And it airs at like 10 PM on Showtime. Is the message being sent to kids really so key that you can judge the show on it even without any first hand information? I mean, I always thought the women in Sex In The City were absolutely reprehensible human beings, but I pretty much just disliked that show because it blew. Not because it featured bitchy women with foul mouths discussing their promiscuous sex lives in graphic ways at 11 AM Sunday morning in a public diner.

punker, I dunno. I had a small crush on Parker back in the day but I'm not really sure how hot she is. She certainly never struck me as this overwhelming favorite you're pushing her as. I think I might be leaning that way but I'll have to do some research.

[Lucky]

AHH! I take all theoretical defense of Weeds back. I just went looking for some clips and found an Olsen twin trying to be seductive! AHHHHHH!

I'm not sure but I think there's a little known rule of the "Hot Chick Tiebreaker" system that says Olsen twins disqualify you.

[Courtney]

Hey, she just joined and even I admit she sucks. But she was on for like three episodes and then she was cut waaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy back to like one minute a show. Hell she wasn't even on this week's show.

And I could try and defend Sex & the City all I wanted, but I know where I'm at and it's a lost cause.

[Krydor]

Know nothing about this Weeds program, outside of Kevin Nealon and that it's about pot. Still gets my vote.

[Courtney]

And I'll take it. C'mon, anymore takers? I'm willing to trade any vote.
