Showtime’s Golden Globe winning, Emmy nominated hit Weeds finally hits DVD today. Amazon’s selling it for only 28.00 and since it’s over 25 dollars it’s free shipping.

It’s really an amazing show, one of my faves, and I can’t wait for the 2nd season premiere this August.

Thorougly disappointed Mary Louise Parker didn’t get nominated for an Emmy, but ecstatic that the divine Elizabeth Perkins did. I swear–this show is so the pay-cable version of Desperate Housewives but better. Perkins is absolutely incredible.

This is what the San Fransisco Chronicle says about the show:

“Weeds” may indeed be the best-written new show of the year so far, but the performances are superb as well, beginning with Parker and Perkins. Long considered one of our best and most underappreciated actresses, Parker has often had trouble finding the right screen or TV vehicles. Her recurring role on “The West Wing,” as a feminist lobbyist and Josh’s sometime girlfriend, didn’t begin to give her room to stretch or to show how much she could add to a character with a quiet look or subtle delivery. She has that here and uses it to bring all the quiet shading of Nancy’s character to full bloom.

And where has Perkins been? Her career has been far too sporadic, with nice turns early on in films like “Big” and more recently in “28 Days.” But there’s been little that gives her the chance to show the full range of her dramatic and comedic skills as “Weeds” does. Watching her work, it often seems the only actress who could hold the screen with her is Mary-Louise Parker, and vice versa.
