Showtime's Weeds is a fresh comedy that portrays a marijuana smoking and selling upper class family. The show starring Mary Louise Parker and
Elizabeth Perkins is a comedy based in suburban America. Mary Louise Parker's character is a little crazy, and has a tendency to flip out. She plays a single mother of 2 boys who was suddenly widowed and had to find a way to maintain her upper class lifestyle, so she started selling weed. Her outward appearance is the ultimate suburban soccer mom. Her 2 sons have now become involved in the family business.
Mary Louise Parker won a Golden Globe for her role on the show. Weeds has been nominated for 15 Emmy awards and 10 Golden Globe awards.
Several celebrities have done cameos on Weeds since the shows beginning, including
