Woops...put this in the wrong folder so I'm reporting.

Cheers!

Anyone have shows they're looking forward to this season?

There's one called "Weeds" coming out on showtime, has anyone heard of it yet?

I work with them and just watched the pilot last week. If you haven't found out about it, it's got the drama of Desperate Housewives just edgier like the Sopranos and way funnier. Basically, Mary Louise Parker is on the PTA of her sons' school and deals pot in the neighborhood since her husband died. The rest of the cast is pretty solid including Kevin Nealon from SNL who's awesome on the show. He's clueless city councilmember who happens to be one of MLP's clients.

I guess the description doesn't really show how all that can be funny but there's a trailer on the show's site (http://www.sho.com/site/weeds/home.do).
