First Look: Weeds Season Four

BuzzSugar — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 16:30:21 -0700

Ever since Nancy Botwin hopped on that scooter at the end of the third season of Weeds, I've been waiting to see what the writers would come up with for season four. The new season premieres two weeks from tonight, on June 16, and frankly, I'm still not entirely sure how it's going to look.

What news has slipped out about this season has been interesting, though some might find it troublesome. Without getting terribly spoiler-y: Nancy's living somewhere new, and Heylia and Conrad are no longer regular characters (where to go for my Romany Malco fix?). There's something to be said for reinventing a show in its fourth season - but will it be the same Weeds we know and love?

The video clip below, which has interviews and a few short scenes from the start of season four, doesn't necessarily answer that question - but it does whet my appetite for more. We see Nancy's new home, her new drink (diet root beer - presumably there's no It's A Grind where she's living now), and the new Botwin: her father, played by Albert Brooks.

The show's third season got mixed reactions (at least among my friends), but while I missed some of the lighter bits from earlier years, I still liked it enough to make the new DVD set one of my must-haves for this month and circle June 16 on my calendar. What about you? Will you be back for more, wherever the show might wind up? To check out the video, just read more.

Which Season of Weeds Is Your Favorite?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 15:25:14 -0800

Showtime's dark comedy Weeds wraps up its third season tonight (don't worry - it's already been renewed for a fourth). I didn't love this season at first, but the past few episodes have sucked me back in and made me wonder where everything will end up tonight - especially because few shows do cliffhangers better than Weeds. Overall, though, I still think season two was my favorite. How about you?

Recast Big and Win a Prize!

BuzzSugar — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 13:25:08 -0700

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

As one of my favorite movies of my youth, Big is close to my heart, and will be a tough one to recast! But if you could cast this film now with new actors, who would you choose for the little and big versions of Josh? What about Josh's best buddy Billy Kopecki or his womanly love interest Susan? Let's include the owner of the toy company, MacMillan, with whom the big Josh has that memorable piano-playing scene in FAO Schwartz.

Leave your entry in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature Tuesday, September 18, complete with a "new" cast photo. To see a list of characters to recast and a photo of the BuzzSugar t-shirt, read more

Characters to recast:
Josh (Tom Hanks)
Young Josh (David Moscow)
Susan (Elizabeth Perkins)
MacMillan (Robert Loggia)
Billy (Jared Rushton)
