Recommended The Movie: Like many people, I really enjoyed the first few seasons of Weeds , though as the seasons kept mounting, their welcome became more and more overstayed. My wife hung in for the show a little longer than most (something that she has a trait for, perhaps as some loyalty or faith in the characters), but even she threw up her hands around the show’s sixth season.

DVD Talk Collector Series The directing (and producing) career of Blake Edwards ran hot and cold, boy howdy. To his credit, he was frequently attracted to controversial and difficult-to-adapt projects; at one point he was attached to the first Planet of the Apes movie, for instance.
