Cloris still has "it"

My Belly laugh of the week came to my daughter and I via Watch what happens Live. Cloris Leachman was a guest along with Jeff Lewis and she was her wacky self. She had the boys competing for who was the best kisser and she she was completely irreverent. She "spilled the tea" on Judy Garland and other celebs, forcing Andy to continually repeat-"just the first thing that comes to mind Cloris." My roomate's dad dated Cloris in the 80's and couldn't handle her eccentricites.

I have always loved Phyllis Lindstrom from the MTM show. She is also hysterical in Raising Hope- vasilating between bouts of clarity and demensia as Hope's great grandmother- Ma maw. Thanks to Andy Cohen for giving us a talk show that is simple, honest and fun!

Happy? endings? Spoiler alert- Weeds finale


I have to say that I enjoyed the series finale of Weeds. I wasn't expecting the time jump to ten years later. I liked the tie back to the first episode with Doug's son.  I liked that Shane was the one in the worst shape and that he appeared to be aware of it. After all,  he never really had to pay for his crime of murder ( with the croquet mallet) and it finally has caught up with him.  Of course Doug being the leader of a cult was perfect!

I was so happy for Andy, because the episode before this was not one of his best moments.  I think the point of the finale was that Nancy is the type of person that needs her men around her and now she is alone and that is her pay back for all she has done to her family.

I didn't understand the whole Silas's wife and her extreme hatred, after all she aborted Silas's baby( which Silas isn't an innocent in either) as a teenager.  She really doesn't have much of a leg to stand on when it comes to moral issues. 

I didn't like the child actor that played Stevie.  His story line was well done and Guillermo finally got his revenge on Nancy.  I also was sad not to see Celia.  She was the funniest person on the show. 

Weed's was a groundbreaking show.  It was both a comedy and a drama.  I think it was fun and yet maybe it got the people thinking about the war on drugs and is it all really worth it?  I like that the show ended in the future with legalized pot being sold at convenience stores.  You know maybe it will plant the seed that finally starts the movement towards legalization of marijuana.  I think this is could be the trend that sends us out of the economic crunch and would also prevent the incarceration of many people that really don't need to be in jail.
