I love Weeds. I do, but I didn't nominate it. I'm saving it for comedy. Because seriously, no show makes me laugh more than Weeds. Between Justin Kirk, Kevin Nealon and that little kid who plays Shane, Weeds is a great show.

I've never watched OZ. It's on my Netflix, but I have no idea what it's about. Something about a prison.

OZ

Weeds

I kind of thought Weeds was more comedy too, but it has enough drama to have made my list.

[Courtney]

It does have drama. Did you see that new eppy where Nancy just stripped off her clothes in front of Silas and Shane and then jumped in the pool and screamed her head off? My jaw dropped. Even though, she kinda deserved to do it after the day she'd had.

And the new episode where she just kinda threw herself at Matthew Modine? Threw her legs over him and...yeah. Nancy, you bad girl!

It will be my #1 comedy, that's for sure.

[Lori]

Nah, I still have to watch season 3. I'm finishing up the Sopranos, and then it's on to the rest of Weeds. I just want Nancy to finally hook up with Conrad.

[Courtney]

Oh shit, I wouldn't have started talking about it if I had known you hadn't watched it yet. Sorry.

But about Nancy and Conrad... ;D

[Lori]

Nah, no worries, it's the risk I run. I'll be caught up soon enough, with tvlinks to keep me going.

[Stu]

I dunno. Weeds' premise comes across as a ripoff of the british movie Saving Grace, while Oz is the more gay show, what with all the sodomy...

[creepy]

Sodomy = Realism. Nothing wrong with Realism.



OZ should be a final four contender. Need to go back and re-watch all the seasons again. Too bad I have to buy the last 4 seasons.

[Lucky]

I'm not sure it SHOULD be a final four. The 1st season? Absolutely. But the later seasons got pretty sucky and it only recovered towards the end. But I'd put that 1st season up against anything. And pretty much everything up to Adebisi's death was great.

[Courtney]

I'll tell you why it's almost certainly not gonna be in the final four: It's in the same quadrant as the Sopranos.

[Lucky]

And because a lot of people didn't watch it because (a) it was HBO's first real project before Sopranos hit and (b) the sodomy scared people.

[Stu]

I had a little trouble taking Oz seriously, because the guy they cast as the drunk driver killer who gets sent to OZ at the start is the same guy who played the stupid older brother in the Weird Science tv show. Then again, J Jonah Jameson was a neo-nazi in it too...

[Lucky]

He was also one of the idiots in Wayne's World. But Beecher was the shit. Even if it got a little weird when he became a gay cultural icon.

SIEG HEIL, BABY! SIEG FUCKING HEIL!

[creepy]

But Lucky, even if it never attained first season goodness again, it still was capable of it. It had a flow of interesting characters and storylines. I never got the same first season feeling, but it was always on the cusp of greatness, which is 100% better than most of the trash put on TV these days.


And Stu, it also had Buster Poindexter, Luke Perry and Chuck Zito in it. They were odd choices, too, but it's acting, and they did a swell little job.

Funny how the Nazi's thought Kramer was funny in that Seinfeld Skit. Totally forgot about that.................
