Weeds 1 and House 3

I love movies and some series television. Tuesday is the day that the new releases to DVD come out. I get my movies in Wide Screen Format for that day where I actually get one of those 40-42” LCD TV’s. (Here is a tip when snuffling the bargain bin: check the format Full Screen vs Wide Screen)
I didn’t get out until friday, as I was looking for House 3.
What I found was Weeds – Season One Weeds is a very funny series. The premise is an upscale suburban widow who gets into reefer dealing to make the payments, and support her family since her husband died. If you never inhaled, this show will make no sense to you. For the rest of you, this is a very funny show that you can appreciate straight. Mary Louise Parker is outstanding as a PTA karate mom, and her supporting cast and customers, her CPA, Lawyer, and her connection, make for some plots and writing that is really outstanding. Around 283 minutes of fun.
Yes, I am coming late to the party, since I have basic cable, Weeds is a Showtime production, but because of DVD, I can get with the program…. The only downside is this is presented in full screen format. What ever were they thinking?

I picked up House 3 which is why I went out in the first place. House is one of the very few shows currently in production from the big 4 broadcast networks that is actually worth the time.
