Weeds: Ep. 311 - Cankles

I pretty much only use this space to complain about the writing behind the latest string of Weeds episodes and today is no different. Overall the Cankles episode was the low of the season and I did not laugh once - not even a chuckle or slight grin. However, I did spend a large amount of time really wishing I was watching something else but feeling obligated to continue viewing because I have seen every previous episode and am not a quitter!

I can't wait until this season is over. It is so sad. Maybe we will get lucky and they will cancel it so that I am not "forced" to waste a half hour a week for another 13 weeks on this absolute junk. I think they have just written themselves out of a show.

I really don't have much to say about this episode as it was all quite bad and I would not know where to start. I might just begin reading recaps rather then watching in the future and spend that half hour doing something more entertaining like counting ceiling tiles...

I was watching the Hills and didn't see it. Maybe I won't even bother. I'm with you, we should just read recaps and if it sounds like it was actually a good ep, THEN we should tune in.

P.S. Didn't weeds used to be an hour long, like in season 1 and stuff?? Or am I crazy. No matter though, one of the show's saving graces is that its at least only a half hour of this crap.

I am quite sure it was always a half an hour.

It used to be really, really good. I watched the first full season on DVD to get caught up for the beginning of season two and it was my favorite show right after Lost. Season 2 was excited, albeit not as good as Season 1.

Now it is the worst television program that I continue to watch. Crazy how something can become so useless so fast! It just dropped right off my radar.

I am going to have to find out if there were writers that quit or something like that, as it doesn't even feel like the same show!
