Weeds is an American television series created by Jenji Kohan, produced by Lionsgate Television for the Showtime cable television network. The show revolves around Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker), a newly widowed suburbanite mother of two who has turned to selling marijuana to support her family after her husband unexpectedly dies. Over the course of the show, Nancy is involved in illegal activities on a larger scale; the first three seasons deal mainly with selling and growing marijuana locally, in later seasons plots features the smuggling of more general contraband from Mexico to the U.S. and seemingly dubious machinations of Baja’s gubernatorial electoral politics.

The title plays on the slang term for marijuana “weed” and how American suburbs grow invasively like weeds. The title sequence of the first three seasons, with the satirical song “Little Boxes” playing, showed suburbanites who dressed the same, drove exactly the same SUV and lived in identical houses.

Weeds first aired in August 2005 and has run five seasons to date, and the sixth season will premiere August 16, 2010. In its first year it became the highest rated series for Showtime, and the fifth-season premiere had Showtime’s highest viewership for a show with 1.3 million watching. It is currently the longest running of original series on Showtime.

Mary-Louise Parker won a Golden Globe for her performance on the show, and Jenji Kohan won a WGA award for her screenplay for the pilot episode. The show has been nominated for 19 Emmy Awards and 10 Golden Globes.
