Just started and finished all 8 seasons of Weeds and loved it, kinda sad that it came to an end.

A couple of times late in the series I thought it was heading toward losing interest, but they managed to pull it back (imho) each time.

I'll miss the Botwin's and Doug Wilson.

Yeah he and Andy stole the show on most occasions. Doug Wilson is one of my favourite characters ever!!

Andy Botwin: Things with wifey slowing down, huh?
Doug Wilson: It used to be wild. I mean intense, but how do you ask the woman who makes your kids lunches to suck your balls and spread her ass open like a geometry compass?
[short pause]
Doug Wilson: How Andy, how?
Andy Botwin: [cowering] I don't like this game anymore.

Wowser. Watched the train robbery ep of Breaking Bad last night.
Not much in the show has had me thinking, "holy f*ck", but that certainly did.

I sincerely hope Walt gets killed. He's a seriously egotistical wanker. No spoilers, please ;)

if you hear and of the interviews with Vince Gilligan, this was the entire point of the show - turning Mr Chips into Scarface.

And I cant think of many other shows that gradually turn the main protagonist into the main antagonist.
