Weeds started its fourth season off on a real high, becoming the network’s most-watched telecast on record. It’s said that on Monday night weeds averaged 1.3 million total viewers which broke the record held by a Season 2 episode of “Dexter” 1.2 million that aired in 2007.
It’s reported that Weeds has seen its season premieres grow from the start. The series bow pulled in 488,000 viewers, while Season 2’s debut averaged 578,000 and Season 3 started out with 824,000.
In other Weeds news Mary-Louise Parker is back for more sex drugs and rock and roll in the new season. Last season, widowed pot-dealing mom Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) was last seen helping set her California town ablaze. So the question we all want to know is where will she relocate her family in season four?
Weeds star Elizabeth Perkins has also spoke out about what it’s like to work on “Weeds,” possibly the most drug-addled show on TV.
Elizabeth tells Fancast the inside TV the truth about smoking “stunt weed,” and why she thinks marijuana should be legalized and why she loved spiking her daughter’s food with laxatives, shaving her husband’s head, and taking Quaaludes to PTA meetings. Stunt weed is sort of what you would smoke if you went out and bought rose-flavoured cigarettes or cinnamon cigarettes or clove. It is a combination of herbs that don’t get you stoned.
When she was asked about what her views are on the whole pot thing she said that “I think it is crazy that it is illegal, and I think it is crazy that people are in jail once they get busted with small amounts of marijuana. I am so pro-legalized marijuana because I just don’t see it as that dangerous of a narcotic. I don’t think that means high school students should be able to do bong hits whenever they want to. I do think (adults) should be able to do what they want in the privacy of their own home with an herb that grows in the backyard.”
