Weeds

Weeds is about a single mother named Nancy (Mary-Louise Parker) who sells weed for a living. After the death of her husband Judah (Jeffery Dean Morgan) she had no source of income and decided that was it. To make sure she can continue to do this she buys a shop, which sells "cakes" so her real business is no longer under threat. This idea was brought to Nancy's attention from her pot smoking accountant, Doug (Kevin Nealon). Nancy has two kids, Silas (Hunter Parrish) and Shane (Alexander Gould). Their uncle Andy (Justin Kirk) also lives with them to help support them, although he does a poor job. At the end of the season Nancy meets Peter and after spending the night with him finds out he works for the DEA.

House, M.D.

As an infectious disease specialist, Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) is a brilliant diagnostician who loves the challenges of the medical puzzles he must solve in order to save lives. House solves the inexplicable cases that other doctors cannot understand. House isn't alone in this quest. His team includes neurologist Dr. Eric Foreman (Omar Epps), a neurologist with a troubled youth and a desire to avoid becoming as abrasive as House; immunologist Dr. Allison Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) - who sometimes cares too much and has conflicting feelings about House; and Dr. Robert Chase (Jesse Spencer), a specialist in intensive care who has lived a very privileged life. House's good (and possibly only) friend Dr. James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) is an oncology specialist, who has to help and stand up for House on a regular basis, while trying to get him to face a few harsh truths. House must also deal with his boss, Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) who, while often opposing House's unconventional methods, must admit that he is the best doctor on her staff. When a patient's life hangs in the balance, House will do anything, including breaking the law, taking risks other doctors would not take, and sometimes even going as far as actually interacting with a patient. House's methods may be controversial but his results speak for themselves.

Boston Legal

This show has got something for everyone. The writing has been superb from Day One. The characters are glorious in their diversity, from Denny Crane ("lock and load" as he steps into a stall in the men's room, sports section in hand) to the beleaguered Paul Lewiston, trying desperately to maintain a modicum of Old World decorum in the midst of a microcosm of America's increasingly bizarre socio-economic landscape. One of the basic premises of this show seems to be that there are no sacred cows-equal opportunity irreverence reigns supreme. Tell me that you are not thoroughly tired of the current state of PC (political correctness) which makes one reluctant to express any kind of opinion at all for fear of reprisals ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous. The good folks of Boston Legal never fail to show us just how ridiculous it has become. It's a big juicy slice of life with plenty of eye candy, lots of laughs and an undercurrent of caring and sharing that pulls it all together. The next time you have one of those days when you just want to crawl into bed and pull the covers over your head, lock and load some Boston Legal before doing the blanket thing. Works every time for me.

Sex and the City

Based on the bestselling book by Candace Bushnell, Sex and the City tells the story of four best friends, all single and in their late thirties, as they pursue their careers and talk about their sex lives, all while trying to survive the New York social scene.

Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) writes a column entitled "Sex and the City" for The New York Star, has a self-proclaimed shoe addiction, is known for her taste in fashion, and continues an on-again, off-again relationship with Mr. Big (Chris Noth). Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrell) is the oldest of the girls and is known for her seductiveness when it comes to men. Though she has a few real relationships during the series - including one with a woman - Samantha is more interested in having good sex than a real relationship. Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) is the most conservative of the four and has her heart set on finding her perfect soul mate. However, that proves to be more challenging than Charlotte had originally planned. Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) is Carrie's best friend and has a more cynical view of relationships than the other three girls. Miranda is career-minded and focused on making partner at her law firm, but begins to soften and take a different approach to relationships as the years progress.

Looking back at season 1 of The Cosby Show, it's easy to forget that momentous history was being made. Not only did this immensely popular sitcom hold the #1 spot among all network TV shows for five consecutive seasons (a record that still stands), but it promoted an evolutionary progression that influenced the entire TV industry from that point forward. African Americans had enjoyed sitcom success in the past (on Julia, The Jeffersons, and Good Times), but the idealized family of Cliff and Clair Huxtable (Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad) represented a new and quietly revolutionary perspective; married for 21 years with five children (one in college, a detail unmentioned in the pilot episode), the Huxtables were happy and successful (he's a doctor, she's a lawyer), and issues of race were almost entirely irrelevant to the show's universal appeal. Making their Thursday-night debut on September 20, 1984, they were conceived by Cosby (as "executive consultant Dr. William H. Cosby Jr., Ed.D."), cocreators Ed. Weinberger and Michael Leeson, and executive producers Tom Werner and Marcy Carsey, with a matter-of-fact approach to upgrading the African American image, built upon Cosby's rubber-faced popularity as a stand-up comedian and rooted in the complete and unbiased integration of the black experience into the American mainstream.

The Dukes of Hazzard - The Complete First Season

The Dukes of Hazzard - The Complete First Season


Price: Bt700

Quantity:

3 Discs

The Dukes of Hazzard was part of America's redneck fetish in the mid-to-late 1970s, otherwise evident in popular songs, movies, and television shows highlighting fast cars, truckers, citizens' band radio, moonshine, irreverent hicks, and clueless lawmen. Created by writer-producer Gy Waldron and inspired by his own 1975 bootlegging comedy, Moonrunners, Dukes milked seven seasons of material from the tale of a Deep South family of reformed whiskey-makers and their running feud with a greedy impresario and his chief lackey, a buffoonish, venal sheriff.
This three-disc set includes all 13 initial episodes of Dukes from 1979, a period fans fondly recall because some of the programs were shot on location in Covington, Georgia, rather than a Burbank backlot. Also noteworthy is that a couple of key characters, particularly Hazzard County's corrupt lawman, Roscoe P. Coltrane (James Best), hadn't gelled yet into permanent hayseed stereotypes and were arguably more interesting at the beginning. At the center of the action is Sheriff Coltrane's nemeses, cousins Bo Duke (John Schneider) and Luke Duke (Tom Wopat), a couple of wild boys buzzing through the backwoods in the "General Lee," a souped-up Dodge Charger. Bo and Luke are good at heart but have to behave themselves while on indefinite probation, complicating but not halting their efforts to vex Roscoe and his patron, diminutive bigwig Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke). The enmity runs both ways: Roscoe and Boss Hogg, with the aid of witless Deputy Enos Strate (Sonny Shroyer), dream up ways of eliminating the Dukes--including their wise old Uncle Jesse (Denver Pyle)--but their efforts always backfire.
