It's enough to drive you to drugs. At the climax of the first-season finale, Weeds' pot-peddling widow, Nancy Botwin, was being seduced by a sexy new flame, Peter Scottson — who turned out to be a DEA agent. But with the Showtime series' sophomore season now underway (Mondays at 10 pm/ET), the rebellious PTA mom, played by Mary-Louise Parker, won't let that get in the way of doing whatever it takes to support her family.
"Their relationship starts to take some weird turns," says Parker, who won a Golden Globe for her role. "The producers don't necessarily tell us where we're going, but his character turns pretty dark."
That's business as usual in this black comedy set in Agrestic, a deceptively placid California suburb. Things don't get any li

Question: Call me crazy, but I just love Weeds. Can you please give me some spoilers?
Answer: You're gonna think I'm hitting the hashish a little too hard when I tell you this, but in Episode 3, we're going to learn that ***** a** *a*** a** ****a** a** ****.
Hey, tired of trying to solve these puzzles all by yourself? Well, listen up: I've gone and created a special thread in my Ausiello Report blog where TV scoop hounds like yourself can discuss the latest edition of Ask Ausiello. Although the thought of uniting thousands of AAdicts under one cyber roof scares me a little, I trust that you will use your powers for good (i.e.: dissect asterisk quizzes, weigh in on the latest spoilers, organize a parade in my honor). We'll try it for one week and see how it works. If I smell even a whiff of foul play, I'm pull

Tonight at 10 pm/ET, Showtime's highest-rated series, Weeds is back, to give fans another seasonlong buzz. When last we tuned in, Nancy (Emmy nominee Mary-Louise Parker's pot-peddlin' mama) had finally bedded her new beau, Peter, only to learn that he is (of all things!) a DEA agent. Surely, Peter's getting his walking papers, right? Not so fast. TVGuide.com grabbed a few minutes with the fed's portrayer, Martin Donovan, to talk about his extended visit to Agrestic, his confusing stint as Dead Zone's big baddie, and the rather disquieting film he has premiering this month.

If I ever hear that anyone in the sunny suburb of Agrestic is hiding a stranger in the basement, I'm done with Weeds (Mondays at 10 pm/ET on Showtime).
But somehow I doubt that will happen. While the higher-profile Desperate Housewives stumbled creatively, its thematic sibling on pay cable has become a sharper, darker, funnier satire in its sophomore go-round.
Weeds' greatest asset remains Mary-Louise Parker as the alluringly dazed-and-confused widow Nancy Botwin, who provides for her kids by distributing marijuana to seemingly upstanding townsfolk (including Kevin Nealon as a carefree CPA and city c
