Weeds

I recently discovered the Showtime series Weeds. The show is kind of silly but it offers some delicious eye candy in the form of young actor Hunter Parrish who usually appears in each episode in some sort of a shirtless tease. He’s definitely easy on the eyes. For hopelessly incurable voyeurs like me it’s worth checking out. Here are a few samples:

Eye candy indeed -- all-day sucker variety. Not my favorite type, but a decided relief from the other principal male players, who seem to have been cast for their anti-appeal.

Two other players, closer to my concept of hot, are Romany Malco, not yet seen this season, and Demian Bichir, new this season.

I've followed this series since its inception. It's altogether off the deep end. As only one example, the writers changed the venue of the first three seasons by burning the whole town to an ash.

I also have watched every episode of the series from day one. This, imo, is a great show. How could it not be, when Mary Louise Parker is in the cast?! Fabulous actress who is great in everything that I have ever seen her in. I've been a huge fan since I first noticed her in the movie Fried Green Tomatoes (a great movie imo). Her performance as the main character Nancy deserves all of the accolades that she has received.

I really don't see all the fawning over eye candy, however, as sure there are some good looking guys, but nothing to go all ballistic and rave about. IMO, the best looking is Jason Kirk as uncle Andy. Andy is my favorite character outside of Nancy. Wild and crazy anything goes! Remember the episode where he is getting fucked in the butt by some chick with a huge strap on dildo?

And Elizabeth Perkins should be praised and awarded for her portrayal of Celia! I loved the episode this season where Nancy knocked out her front teeth to save Celia's life. Can't wait to see how this all plays out.

My only minor peeve with the current season? The elimination of the opening song, Little Houses. I love that song so much that I bought the soundrack from season one. I thought it was great how they changed it after season one (i.e. sung in different languages, different musical genre/stylings, etc.). The only reasoning for this that I can fathom is because the action is no longer centered around the "everything looks the same suburban" community of Agrestic. Now they're in a beach community where no house looks the same.

Hoping that my tickytacky peeves sound all the same:

Little Boxes

by Malvina Reynolds

Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of tickytacky

Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same

There's a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one

And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

And the people in the houses all went to the university

Where they were put in boxes and they came out all the same,

And there's doctors and there's lawyers, and business executives

And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

And they all play on the golf course and drink their martinis dry,

And they all have pretty children and the children go to school

And the children go to summer camp and then to the university

Where they are put in boxes and they come out all the same.

And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family

In boxes made of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

I don't fawn over eye candy, I leer at it. An important distinction. Nothing wrong if you don't go all obsessive and witless over it.

I miss the Little Boxes song too, particularly in the original version.
