2 new shows I started watching over the break: Freaks and Geeks and Weeds. I'm nothing if not current! Let's profile both shows.
Freaks and Geeks: I've never heard anyone say anything bad about this show...and I'm not going to start now. It's hilarious, and the episodes fly by. It does remind me of a later Wonder Years, and Sam alternately makes me laugh and cringe. Catching on to this show so late is interesting because practically everyone on the show is famous now. All the freaks are in Judd Apatow movies and the main actress (Linda Cardenelli) was on ER. James Franco even surprised me - I had no idea he'd ever done anything worth watching.
Weeds: I'd heard a lot about this show and because it's been nominated for Golden Globes and Emmys, I thought it would be good. I guess it's marginally funny? Conrad and Kevin Nealon are the only standout characters so far, but Nancy just drives me nuts. Between her kids, her constant breakdowns, and her habit for latte drinks - I just can't stand her. And the theme song! What the heck is that about?? It reminds me of nails on a chalkboard. I can't believe they're about to start their 6th season. How many storylines for Nancy are out there??

i'd love to see freaks and geeks...i've only heard + things as well.
p.s. did anyone catch james franco on SNL, he was actually pretty funny!
also, i saw weeds seasons 1 and 2, but it just started getting ridiculous. i never thought it was that great, but it did keep me interested. once all the guns and violence got involved it just turned into every other show.
I agree with your views on Weeds. Every episode would end in a cliffhanger but after numerous deī ex machina I knew that Nancy would always be alright, no matter what.
triple agreed on weeds. couldn't get into it.
