PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
America's favorite pot-dealing soccer mom is more addictive than ever in the third season of WEEDS, the highly acclaimed Showtime Original Series. Lionsgate is releasing the third season of the award-winning TV series, on DVD and Blu-Ray Disc, timed to coincide with the fourth season premiere on June 16, 2008 on Showtime.
Weeds: Season Three includes all 15 episodes and is loaded with special features including featurettes, commentaries with cast and crew, a gag reel, trivia tracks and more! The Blu-Ray Disc features include all of the DVD extras plus an interactive game and pop up trivia. Available on June 3, 2008,
Weeds: Season Three is taking "green" to a higher level as the DVD set will be packaged in eco-friendly packaging made from 100% recycled paper and plastic water bottles.
Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Mary-Louise Parker stars as Nancy Botwin, a single mom who resorts to dealing pot after her husband dies suddenly. When an offbeat way to make ends meet grows into a mini-empire, the mother of all dealers finds she may be in over her head - and on the verge of taking everyone else with her. Co-starring Elizabeth Perkins and Kevin Nealon,
Weeds: Season Three also features Matthew Modine (
Short Cuts) and Mary-Kate Olsen (
New York Minute).
Since its debut, "Weeds" has been nominated for 10 Emmy Awards and eight Golden Globes and won the Emmy for Best Performance by An Actress in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy - for Parker's brilliant performance. The show has also garnered enormous critical acclaim.
Los Angeles Times proclaimed "
Weeds has perhaps the best comedic cast assembled on television" and
US Weekly called it "
simply masterful." Hilarious and subversive, Weeds is the hit that put the herb in suburb!
