Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Weeds Season 6 earns its spot. Weeds Season 6 does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. The sixth season of Weeds premiered on Monday, August 16, 2010 at 10ET/PT on the television cable network Showtime, and consisted of 13 episodes. Mary-Louise Parker and Justin Kirk lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2010. The timing in Weeds Season 6 is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Weeds Season 6 is a strong candidate. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Mary-Louise Parker's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
