Quick Cuts

I just watched Weeds. It's a comedy about a widowed suburban housewife who sells marijuana to make ends meet. While the reviews have been fairly positive, I doubt I'll come back for seconds. The show seemed so thrilled to be provocative that it forgot to be funny.

On the other hand, after a recommendation from Virginia Postrel, I've started to watch Battlestar Galactica, now entering its second season. I like it--especially the political intrigue--but I'm still a little lost. If it doesn't clear up soon, I'll have to find a friend who's got the first season on DVD.

There are some new comedies on FX, but, to be honest, if I get that channel, I'm not sure where it is.
