Weeds
I stumbled onto Showtime’s, Weeds. From the beginning credits I fell in love with the graphics, the theme song and finally the characters. We meet unlikely criminals, experience suburban dysfunction and sniff around the edges of the marijuana drug trade. The theme song, Little Boxes, was originally performed by Malivina Reynolds and later Pete Seeger. With the popularity of Weeds, the song has been covered by current artists, making it quite trendy. Taking it one step further, Showtime started a “homegrown” video competition for the best rendition of Little Boxes by viewers. I’ve included a very unusual version.
