Weeds - Pilot: You Can't Miss the Bear
just watched. that was very good! I didn't think it'd be so likeable to me. tht I wldn't like Kevin Nealon, but he's fine. tht bcs it's a half hour comedy that it might be like scrubs wh is good but not so much my kind of. but no, it's rather realistic and serious-ish in its comedy. the characters are pretty much all very smart and also believable. (often smart gets written in an unbelievable way right? too quick witted). I like the mom a lot a lot. and both the kids are cool. and the girlfriend Quinn. and even her mother Celia, who is awful, is sort of cool. and Josh the young pot-dealer is basically cool - I like his interactions w mom.Nancy. Botwin. MrsB. Mary Louise Parker. great character here. who else on tv is this fully likeable? she's sharp.
last scene crying "white lady's havin a time of it here" get her some pie. tell her to come in here and get her own pie, Slavery days are over.
and earlier: "show me who aint f-'d up."

and I'm wondering have I never seen Mary Louise Parker in anything before? I haven't seen her in West Wing, and doubt I am remembering her fr the movie Saved wh I guess I saw part of (in Calif, Bonnie had the dvd). ah ha -- she was Ruth in FriedGreenTomatoes. huh, funny, bcs I confuse or at lst associate her (by name but probably also face) with Mary Stuart Masterson. who was her co-star there, Iggie. huh. and Mary Stuart Masterson seems pretty cool. and now Mary Louise Parker does too.

--Heylia, break out that pie you made last night.
The white lady having a time of it here.
--Tell her get her skinny ass in here and get her own damn pie!
Slave days is over!
